Random Wednesday

Some cute pictures for the middle of the week...

Running with the sap

The Wily Jeneric family had an outing to a local nature center where we learned how to make maple syrup. Below, we present our unorthodox 6-step program.

Step 1: Observe some turtles (and snakes - but we were too slow to get pictures of that).


Step 2. Take a picture of the turtle (a box turtle, perhaps?).


Step 3. Find a grove of maple trees and tap them.


Step 4. In a giant cauldron, boil the sap down, down, down. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.


Step 5. Pour the syrup into trays to make candy.


Step 6. Eat some candy (sorry, no photos). Toddler Jeneric declared the maple candy good, but still only got one piece!

Weave, wove, woved

Verb tense is a tricky business - just ask Toddler Jeneric (I eated 'sert, Mama!). But don't disturb the master as she weaves...

Look Ma! No pants!

The fashion-sense of a 2-year-old. No worse than many A-list celebrities.




(We're inching our way towards potty training, hence the lack of pants.)

Happy Friday the 13th! Now get to work - it's Caption This! Friday, the grab-bag edition.

(in case it isn't clear, that's a booklet in Toddler Jeneric's hands)

Interlude

Overheard on the way back from Canada:

Eric: Toddler Jeneric, what does safety mean?
TJ: It mean holding hands in parking 'ot.
