The End Is Nigh

School is almost out, as evinced by our family calendar.

If you need a translation, the words in question are: "Last Day of School" "Party" and "Crokinole Day" -- the latter being of particular significance, because after considerable hectoring and cajoling the girls have agreed to play with me. It was either that, or a spelling bee (a weekly event which seems to be in the cards this summer...).

  2. Perhaps you should also introduce the girls to ping-pong and gardening to accompany the impending spelling bees. Then next census you could list your ethnicity as Asian/Mennonite...

    TR - ping-pong is a stretch, but gardening isn't entirely out of the question. Lots of weeds to be taken care of...
