From a worm to a fairy

We had the pleasure of watching Gwen's class preform a riveting musical call "Wormzzz" and you guessed it, it was all about worms. Gwen played the part of a worm. They sang songs called- Valentine 5 times my heart, Hermaphrodite Rap, and my personal favorite Wriggly Worm Samba. It was hysterical and very informative.

Gwen has started a new book series that is all about Fairies called Rainbow Magic and she just loves them. So she was very excited that the school was having dress up as your favorite book character day, her friend told her that she would be a fairy to and that they would be so pretty.

So the morning of dress up day Gwen announced that she didn't want to be a fairy any more, she was afraid the boys at school would make fun of her for being pretty. So she insisted on wearing her Sally costume from the Nightmare Before Christmas. (I didn't have the heart to tell her it wasn't a book) Can you guess who Jay is?

The weather here has plummeted to about 78 degrees and it is gorgeous! It's very funny when I go out in the morning for my jog at about 5:30 all the guards are wearing coats!

Do you ride elephants to school?

Our children are asked some very interesting questions when they tell people that we live in Africa. One girl asked if they rode elephants to school. The answer is no, but they did have a great time riding some while on holiday.

It takes 3 years to train an elephant. They let them roam free and apparently, a herd of elephants came and took back one of the elephants. I've always heard that the bound of the elephant family is very strong.

I hope that Maren was watching for crocs behind her!

I can't think of any living thing that isn't so adorable in the baby stage.
