year of the snake, postscript

I took Auggie birthday party shopping a couple of days ago at collage collage. He picked out this wooden snake as a present and asked to paint it for his friend. We used the leftover paint from the banquet snake. Then he made up meanings for all the colours for his friend. These are the meanings: yellow means the sun will be out; blue means there will be a blue sky, green means it is summer because there is green grass in the park and brown means there are cars and trucks outside. (I don't remember what red and gold mean because I didn't write them down right away.)

hello, winter

A plate that came home from school this week (the only plate I ever wanted to hug) and a great advent calendar (free printable from mr printable) that my son would love to park a lot of cars around. I don't think I have the time to do it, though ‚ we picked up a playmobil one yesterday as a treat.

A new Auggie colouring sheet, in French and English: fall leaves (PDF). This is also a little identification guide to common leaves. We like to go on scavenger hunts for leaves at this time of year. You can subscribe on the auggiebloggie I'll let you know the next time we have a good free printable (it will be class Christmas/holiday cards).

I discovered a few things while we (really, entirely my husband, master of duct tape, card board and sharpies) made the yellow tractor trailer costume requested by our wee Augs:

pink crows & fireworks

Leaves and crayons ironed between wax paper

A drawing of fireworks (black dots) and pink crows (upper left)  for my office.

Today in the car, Auggie started chanting In-To Out-er Space! in exactly the cadence of a protest march.  We all joined in. It's a good cause.
