When I Grow up......

I have been asking the children what they are going to be when they grow up and some would answer  "If I grow up,  I want to be...". I was telling them the 'positive' way to say it is "WHEN I grow up, I WILL be...." When you say it, and will it, then it will happen!

 

Here are a few of the children telling us what they will be:

 

 

                                 Sabrina will be a 'Doctor'

                               Samwel will be a 'Farmer'

Let's learn to 'Plank'

Andi planking at the Vatican!

A few years back, the thing to do was jump when you had your picture taken. Now, I guess the thing to do is 'plank'! This is where you lay as flat & straight as you can, across something, thus looking like a plank! I learned about planking from my daughter, Andi, when we went to visit her in Italy. She actually planked in Rome, at the Vatican, and was very good at it, too, I must say! Anyway, the children are always asking "What's new Mama? Do you have a new dance, new song, new game?" On the weekend, while outside playing with the children, they wanted to do jumping pictures. I had an 'AHA' moment! "Let's learn to plank" They all had this strange look on their face and said "We don't know plank, Mama."  So, I showed them a picture of Andi planking.... well, the race was on to find anything and everything to plank on! The kids were everywhere, high and low, yelling, "take my picture, Mama!" 

 

 

 

A great afternoon of planking was had by all!  What will we learn next weekend?  Maybe..................  'Gangnam Style' !!!!
