Cousins! Cousins!

For lack of "first cousins" on both sides, second cousins count! Just recently, the boys met some cousins from Papa's side for the very first time. It's sad that this get-together was brought on by the passing of Tita Marita (Papa's last surviving sister) but hopefully, this is the start of regular reunions.

Boys being boys, they enjoyed horsing around and zipping through the house in Little Tikes toys built for toddlers. Luckily, no person, toy or furniture was injured in the process. Just lots of laughter from the kids while adults worriedly watched.

Here, Baz is getting the royal treatment from his cousins. I love that smile!



And look at my little sanguine, Hadrien!

Just before that, we went by Southvale to check up on things. Looks like Baz found the lot too small. He surveyed the lot, which had been fenced off temporarily and pointedly asked, "where's the garden going to be?" I think we managed to take his picture as he pointed to the lot (not ours) where the garden should be. Patay!

Baz's Family Tree

Baz's class activity over the past month has been learning about family, and one of the exercises was to make a family tree. Here's the one Baz made:



Baz pretty much did all this by himself, including identification of "paternal" and "maternal" sides. My only contribution here was to glue the labels, oh -and yes- draw a hideous tree outline using a gold lame' pen that I hope comes across as brown (it's a tree, after all). Sorry Baz!

Apparently LMH (Little Mokong Hadrien) wasn't impressed:



Tomorrow is the class' culminating activity. Baz has recorded a video explaining his family tree, which I'll leave for viewing to Vimeo.
