Two fun bits of news from the Owlhaven. »

Now there’s a generous offer

April 1, 2008 by Mary Owlhaven

This afternoon after surviving an arduous first-day-of-homeschool-after-a-10-day-vacation, I pulled out an activity that I’d brought on the trip but hadn’t gotten around to doing with the girls.   It was totally frou-frou:   a bunch of dollar-store fake fingernails.   The girls had a blast sticking on the nails, feeling ever-so-elegant.

 

As my 5 year old was flourishing her lovely nails grandly around, a new thought came to her.  “Hey,” she said to her 10 year old sister, “if you have anything waaay up inside your nose that you want to get out, I could get it for you!”

    Your girls are all so beautiful, and your new ones look really happy and settled – it’s lovely to see 🙂

    What a fun idea (the fingernails, not the nose thing)!

    My three year old son Acer likes to give me things that he picks up, off the floor or where ever else he finds something interesting. I am required to take it, say ‘thank you for’ and name the item. One day he walked up and handed me something I just couldn’t identify, after staring at it for a little while I just had to pause in the requisite phrase because I didn’t know what to say. So Acer prompted me with, ‘For the Booger!’ The joy of a three year old.
