Our latest and greatest field trip, ahhhhhhh berries!

We had such a nice time at Sauvies Island picking berries. I believe that if my friends could write this is the letter they would scribe:

Dear Parents,

I had a really nice time picking raspberries and blueberries at the farm. I really wanted to pick a huge bounty so that I could bring them home and share them with my family. Alas, I was so busy picking them and making sure that they tasted OK that I failed to end up with any in my basket.

I did try some that were green, some that were white, and some that were red and blue. It was all about the experience. So many rows of bushes and berries. There were some parents along and they helped pick and even one of my friends brought his big brother, he was a HUGE help.

All and all I think that I did a pretty good job of picking berries. I'd like to do it again next year too.

Love,

Me

Another new friend. How did I get so lucky.

Our friends are as sweet as can be.

What a summer day will bring.....

We have planted two terrariums in the past few weeks full of seeds to produce some carnivorous plants. With all the bugs this year, we need these seeds to grow!

Our dress up shoes have become a regular fixture with my crew. They like to mix and match the colors.

What else, we got a "hoopy dee hoop" for playing basketball. We have been painting, singing, and having circle time a consistent time to join for songs and games. Oh and blowing bubbles everyday.

Our dear sweet Carman has been in a number of summer camps this summer thus far and many of the friends have missed her. I'm not sure if they miss her as much as she misses them. I did include a picture of her and her brother in which she is painting his nails. This, of course, was not during Tiny Wishes, just a cute sibling moment.

Welcome:)

Hi there friend. We would like to welcome our newest addition to Tiny Wishes. It's funny, he's been here only two days and already he fits right in. He's 2, blonde and a yes, hence the pronoun... a boy. You may think he's quiet upon first meeting and then you hear him laugh and pretend to be a dog or cat or some other animal (as we frequently do).....

We are so happy that we will be sharing our summer with our new friend! Welcome.

SAD!

It is with much sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend.

We had so much fun with you over the past 10 months. We know that you will drop by to see us and that Portland being such a small town we will probably see you at the park, but alas, we will miss you.

Another friend turns 2!

I'm two too!!!!

Hurray. We are so excited that another friend has turned two.

How old are you I ask and the friend say's I'm two. How about you? I'm two. And what about you? I'm two TOO!!!

Drenched!

We got seriously soaked today. We all went outside (as we do everyday) and there was a huge puddle that had developed. This became a very WET and very entertaining puddle. Every friend got soaked and every friend laughed heartily. When it was time to go in only one friend wanted to go. Everyone else wanted to stay outside and play in the puddle. Needless to say, all shoes, socks, pants, shirts, and coats are drenched. I tried my best to soak up some of the water from the shoes and wrung out some of the water from the coats, but alas. If you are a parent picking up your child today, be forewarned.....EVERYTHING IS VERY WET!

I did take some pictures with my nice camera and when i purchase a new do-hickey for it I will post the pics.

Hopefully, when I do post the pictures, the rain will be a distant memory and the sun will be shining:)
