Thanksgiving at School



Wee Care held a Thanksgiving Day today.  The students were encouraged to dress up in a way that depicted an aspect of their cultural heritage.  AK proudly wore her vinok with a beautiful dress.  She was pleased as punch to get all dressed up. 

We have had so much fun lately.  Last weekend was busy but loads of good times.  Friday night, we attended a Thanksgiving dinner put on by the school.  While Richard ran AK's bags out to the car, she showed me how she likes to play hopscotch.  She fell backwards on her bum and popped right up and said that she was fine.  At that point, her classmate David ran up and gave AK a big hug, which made AK giggle.  She then told David that she'd "hurt my bum bum!".  Hilarity...  thank goodness she didn't ask David to kiss her bum-bum better... 

On Saturday we had a lovely visit with Sue and Kylie.  The girls are at a perfect age where they can play together and have a great time - which they did for about three hours!  It was nice for Sue and I to be able to visit and not have to mediate fights or tussles!  Saturday night we headed downtown to watch the closing fireworks of Pirates Week.  This was the first time that AK enjoyed the fireworks and didn't flinch from or complain about the sound.  It was a beautiful colorful display and I'm so glad we were able to watch from the balcony at work.

On Sunday we headed over to Dart Park to a classmate's birthday party.  AK played hard and came home as dirty as I've ever seen her!  We have another birthday this coming weekend so I'm sure that'll be a great time too.
