Nomads

Emma and I started going through our history book this morning. Drawing a cave painting evolved into playing nomadic family. So here is Zinda and King Cat in front of Zinda's fabulous cave painting. My name is Lanka (Zinda's mom) and we collected nuts and berries this morning. (Don't think for a moment that that's Pocahantis because it's not.) Now she's singing a long nomadic ballad ("I have a bad feeling about someone named Ick.... let's just go and fight them all... fight them all... fight them all..." I hate to tell her, but that cat looks a bit docile to be taking on Ick.)

Last Day at Preschool

Miss Kathy: "Thank you all for such a great year!"
John: "Group hug!"
(That's Emma in the light blue & denim.)
I got to co-cop (help out) on the last day so we had a picnic with watermellon and I helped Kathy lead the kids in a musical round about making new friends and keeping the old. When Emma and I left for school that morning, she was sad Kent wasn't coming (he'd come to the school picnic the day before.) Halfway through the morning, he surprised us all by showing up at preschool, so he got to be there for Emma's last day, too.

Kent helped with the bejeweled frame and the "icon" concept, but Emma did the drawing of the royal version of the two of us. What more could a mom possibly want (other than regular naps)?
