Folk dancing at Bubb

All of the first graders at Olivia's school learned many dances to represent different countries across the world. She really enjoyed herself. Some of the kids had a very serious face as they danced, but Olivia was always grinning from ear to ear!


Here is Olivia with her partner Frank.

I was so proud of Olivia. She decided she wanted to announce one of the dances.

Sam's artwork

Well, at age 5, this is what Sam thinks of us:



This is a picture Sam made when they were studying rain forests. I asked Sam about the picture and this is what he said:
the top shapes are clouds, the shape next the the tucan's beak is a butterfly, the bird is sitting on a branch and the things under the tucan... well that is the fire, hence the tucan's scared look. I can see the panic in the bird's eyes...can't you?!!

Since I am posting funny art work I decided to add this. A few months ago when Barbie and Poppy Mike were in town my mom and I left my dad in charge of the kids. When we returned home we found this note taped to the garage door.

Apparently, my dad and the kids, except Olivia got into the ice cream. That rectangle is a picture of the fridge and she started to draw a picture of a bowl of ice cream.
Well, I thought it was so cute I left it up on the wall, until one of Daniel's friends came to visit. He saw the note and asked why we imposed such negative views of the Pope on our children at such a young age!

The Gingers

Just before school let out Olivia the friends in her club over to play. These are the Gingers!
Ayda, Oliva, Sophia, Daniela, Fabiana, Morgan and Nina.

They had a tea party and made a play about Peter Pan. They had such a great time.
