Mini-M's Snapshot Week 6


We're only a few weeks in to 2014, and already I think we're a bit confused with the weeks / dates. Oops.

She eventually conceded that she didn't really want to end up cold, wet and soggy after falling in, and that was one of the likely consequences of running.
Unrelatedly on the way there in the car, Mini-M pointed out the window and exclaimed that she could see "a pigeon sky party" after a large flock of them took off together. What a great description - life would sound much more exciting if everyone used vocabulary like toddlers do…
