Cupcake

The Forest is still a Thing.

Anna walked her wolf home from daycare.

Can you tell that Victor is eating a cupcake? Note the icing on his plate that he's saving for last.

Grumpy Anna

Actually, she's not grumpy, it's just that she's just woken up and the bathroom lights are bright.

Anna decided she liked these. Until she decided she didn't. And I say “these” because I don't actually know what they are.

Nothing to say here, except that I like how this shot turned out. Not that I intended this effect.

Victor was cleaning up his plate because he wanted to dance. Of course, before he cleaned up he had to finish his bagel, which he did by shoving the remaining half in his mouth all it once. He's still chewing on it here.

First in line, Yay!

Victor and Anna are waiting for the alarm on the cute yellow car to go off, this has been one of their favorite schoolyard activities this week, they find it hilarious. And yes, the alarm fairly reliably goes off once every, oh, two minutes or so. I think it might be just a wee bit too sensitive.

Relaxing

Relaxing after supper and baths.

Acceptable fruit

Anna decided blueberries were an acceptable breakfast fruit. I insist on fruit at breakfast but it's usually a struggle with Anna, and she spends a lot of time playing with her food instead of eating it. Of course, the blueberries did need to be arranged in a circle first, but the circle didn't last long.

Victor and Anna in discussion after a rainy evening at Victor's soccer. They both would have happily have stayed longer rain notwithstanding, Victor because he was having fun with soccer and Anna because she was having fun playing with me.

It was interesting today to be stopped by a second-grade girl (well, Victor mentioned that she was older in a higher grade, not sure how much) on our way out of after-school care who wanted to confirm with Victor that they would play the same game together tomorrow. And then at soccer a first-grade girl came up to me to ask where Victor was and after I pointed him out she proceeded to do a fair bit of running around with him. There are other girls that Victor plays with but usually it seemed to me that they're more Anna's friends that Victor's. Clearly that's not the case with these girls.

Anna invents another game

When we got home Anna proceeded to invent a new game. Apparently it was a one-player game.

Sleeping wolves

Playing in the morning in Anna's room.

Tonight the kids have a Wolf themed sleepover. Here's Anna packing her sleeping bag into the car. She's pretty excited.

Victor is too!

Chair

I wonder how much longer they'll fit in this chair together?

And it's probably an artifact of this photo but doesn't Victor look incredibly long?
