getting to know you

Jack was happy Calliope finally agreed to come inside the cabin. She was fascinated by Hands-On-Ears. After Jack fed the monkeys, he put the extra bananas away. Stands-On-Head was missing. He would worry about him later.

flowers for bananas

Jack was smitten. Besides the smell of bananas, Calliope smelled like pineapple, strawberries and jasmine. And she preferred wildflowers over money.

pink & purple clash

The band had to think of better ways to promote their concerts. Making the fans wear pink led to their lowest numbers in months.

who will win?

There really was no way the men could win. Sure the hockey player and his stick could easily take out the figure player. And 2 ski boarders were no match for speed against three downhill skiers. But the women had the skeleton snowman. He had tricks in that top hat. More than even Frosty could ever think up.

[mosaic monday] what z'it

what z'it

I found what z'it toys a few years ago at Learning Epxress. My boys, especially Ryan, love them. He wears them out so I usually buy several at a time. They keep his hands busy. I saw these animal what z'its and got them for Easter. Andy seems to prefer these.
