James is being something too scary to tell us the name of, and Ansley is a magical bear bringing me neverberries so I can be magical too. I think.

Activites

James waiting for children's choir to begin

 



I found Ansley attempting to do her handwriting on the stairs.

 



Apparently, gymnastics is infiltrating her academic life.

 



Ansley, the one man band- recorder and piano simultaneously.

 



She actually kept time really well and it didn't sound bad!
