today's bounty



the babes and i went for an afternoon walk aound the block. (scott has a work event tonight and truth be told, i was killing time.) i digress. e decided that she wanted to ride her scooter. if you have seen the current version of the adventures of tiger and pooh, you will be able to relate. she pretends to be darby and that she is on a super sleuth adventure.

e: anytime, anyplace, the super sleuths are on the case

she then spent the duration of our walk looking for clues. i asked her what the mystery was that she was solving. she didn't seem to know. apparently that is not a prerequisite for super sleuths. she was pretty cute. she was scootering all over the sidewalk. laughing and pointing out the things that she saw along the way. we made it halfway around the block and she decided that she wanted to take a shortcut down the alley. clue gathering seems to tire a girl out.

we headed down the alley and arrived at our garden. ellie began to hunt for veggies. the picture above shows what she found. i had thought that we were done super sleuthing, but after picking our veggies, e turned to me and said:

this mystery is history!

This warms teacher's heart.
I love it when they take what you have read to them or they have seen and make it their own. You have a budding writer on your hands...
