Tonight we took the igloo and the penguin plane out of the basket by the piano symbolically saying goodbye to Winter. We did all this while it was 40 degrees and hailing but we’re removing the Winter toys from the basket so we mean business! This basket is always available in the family room and holds some of the toys that are special or that hold seasonal interest — pretty much anything that I don’t want to get buried under all the other stuff. The empty basket, a trip to the toy store for a dinosaur or two to take for show and tell tomorrow, the fact that the Easter Bunny left many eggs with Spring animals inside, and a photo of a friend all prompted us to gather together the animals in one place. And of course, before we could tuck them all inside the basket they needed to line up for a parade, the dinosaurs watched the animals. Nothing can stay well-ordered in our house for long though. The parade formation was smashed to bits in no time at all.
I’m glad someone else’s son does animal parades as well - makes life interesting avoiding all those tiny animals!!
how fun to have an animal parade. we’ll have to try that tomorrow.
love the photos. so sweet.
mmmm… Papa sad. I can’t wait to get out of the debauchery that is Las Vegas and return home to the simple innocence of animals on parade. See you guys soon.
The top photo is precious. And Papa’s comment is as well. :)Simplicity is always alluring, n’est ce pas?
beautiful photographs, mama.
Lovely photos! We had spring yesterday, but I think it’s over now. Back to winter.
Happy spring)) Lovely pictures as usual))
