Weekending August 3 - 7. Labels: dayhomes in calgary. It was one of those weeks. You know THOSE weeks. We'd just gotten a new fridge, when our dishwasher decided to take a vacation. We had illnesses, and not so great moods from the little ones. I am taking as few photos as possible, because I have over 21 daycare folders to sort through. Of course,. Knowing me, half of them are of flowers and insects, not to mention food - will see. 1/ MM's nature table contribution. 2/ show and tell. Let children walk w...
