May would like to tell you some things

Hey everyone. May has been thinking about things she might want for Christmas and would like to tell you that she particularly wants these things:


Warm soft long-sleeved dresses, in very bright colors or in brown with sparkles (I dunno why brown with sparkles, but she's really dedicated to that particular description). She wears a 6x/7 in most stores and a 120 cm in European sizes.

She really really wants warm, brightly colored tights and leggings. Really warm ones, since she goes outside a lot. Wool if you can find them.

Books about wolverines.

Any of the Magic Tree House Research Guides (these are different than Magic Tree House Stories) EXCEPT "Sharks and Dolphins" or "Twisters and Other Terrible Storms". The research guides are nonfiction -- she already has the fictional stories. (May points out that the guides have notebooks and pencils on the spine, if you need an easy way to figure it out.)

Other things that she's said she's interested in:

• A wooden pulley or block and tackle set (full size or doll size, I've seen both)
• Qwirkle
• The Celestial Stars Silk Bower at Magic Cabin if you're feeling exceptionally generous.
• Stockmar Watercolor Paints (Stockmar are better than the usual Crayola but don't have lead or heavy metals like the other high end watercolors.)
• Beeswax candle making kit

She also wants you to know she fell and got a fat lip today.

Hippo Kisses and Turkey Tracks

The view out of May's preschool -- a turkey. One of a flock of ten or so. Brave birds, strutting that close to people just two weeks before Thanksgiving!

In honor of Seth and Sarah's birthdays and anniversary this week(ish) (because it's important to make sure all the celebrations are all at the same time in a family!) May and Christopher demonstrated S&S's favorite form of showing affection -- HIPPO KISSES!

Happy birthdays and anniversary!
