Tiger Bells

28 Mar

Skeeter: “sing Jingee Bells”
Me: “Jingle Bells, jingle bells”
Skeeter: “no no, tiger song!”
Me: “I don’t know the tiger song.”
Skeeter: “Rawr Rawr Rawr, rawr rawr rawr, rawr rawr rawr rawr rawr” (To the very recognize-able tune of jingle bells.)

Zeke did the back-up rawrs


My children are geniuses.

Deep Space Sparkle Art for the win again!

I happen to have an old National Geographic with an article about Aztec warrior paintings, so we had lots of reference material.
