a story...

about a bike, a boy, a frog and a burger...

Once there was a boy. He was riding his bike to a restaurant. On the way, he met a frog. The frog was going to the restaurant too. So, they went together. When they got there, the boy ordered a hamburger and he shared it with the frog. The end.

On our drive home this afternoon I told Emma there is a bike, a frog, and a hamburger. Then I asked her to tell me a story about them. That was her story.
Fittingly, we took a walk around the block this evening before taking the girls up to bed. On our walk, we met up with a few frogs. And Sophie stomped on a slug she found on our front porch.
This is how we start our last long weekend before school starts. In store for us this weekend:
*a massage for Andy (lucky guy)
*a haircut for me (the girls got haircuts today)
*a wedding (Andy's friend Sunil)
*a class about canning and preserving for me (at our local nursery - it's free)
*a first birthday celebration
*somewhere in there, some much needed R&R
Hope you have a lovely last weekend of summer (officially, anyhow).
