Damon and Anne like to play Angry Birds on the computer. (We don't have smart phones or ipads or anything cool--we're so last decade.) Anne has tried to convince Damon to launch the eagle. I guess it's an effective weapon against pigs or blocks or something (I don't know. I've never played.). Damon refuses. He says it's disrespectful, the eagle being our national bird and all.
Different topic: I was in Claire's classroom for a little while yesterday observing her progress. She liked having me there and didn't want me to leave. When she got home that afternoon she told me, "I was sad when you left, so I made up a poem to help myself feel better:
If we went to the neighborhood of a hare,
then what would we see there?
A blueberry bush and a kitten,
a horse and a flea,
the the cutest little puppy
that you ever did see."
To help motivate the kids (Claire) in school, we've told them they can earn pet geckos if they achieve their (Claire's) goals--10 days of goal reaching to get the cage, 15 days of goal reaching after that to get the geckos.
Geckos were Ange-babe's idea (Thanks, Angela!). The kids are excited. I'm excited, too. I just found out geckos can live 25 years.

So sweet! She'll be your Beatrix Potter yet. And, "Ha ha!" 25 years? I'm sorry.
