Jane and Giacomo

No school today so some of Jane’s classmates met at the museum for a play date/picnic. The photo on the bottom requires more explanation than caption space allows: Every day at school, in the beginning of class and at the end, the children are required to sit in a circle while we sing a hello song and find out about the activities of the day, and then for a good-bye song at the end. Jane and Giacomo often sit together. Well, today at the museum, a class of older kids came along and their teacher told them to sit in a cirlce, and Jane and Giacomo went right over and sat down to find out what was going on!

Jane found more crocuses!

What happens when one refuses to wear a jacket in the rain!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thanks for the Elmo valentine book Miney!

First trip to IKEA: the Swedish meatballs were a bust (“no way”) but the lingonberry juice was a big hit
