WHERE IN THE WORLD WOULD WE GO? Prompt 16

There are places on the list - all of them actually

Where we want to go so that we can meet the teams

So that didn't help us narrow down the list at all

Then there's a couple that some of us have actually been to

Like Phoenix - which is a very cool city but has way

More people than expected and is, we just recently

Found out, the most populated capital of any of the US

States - and let's see - oh San Francisco with its hills

And the Golden Gate bridge and so many other wonderful

Things - we would happily go there again but not this time

We've been to Denver several times and think it's such

A beautiful, healthy place so high up, surrounded by mountains

Have camped in Minnesota and love its many lakes

And have visited New York and Massachusetts both

More than a few times and hope to go back there soon

In fact one of us loves the whole eastern seaboard so maybe will get

To Stamford sometime and Lido Beach also ...

Grandma has a great desire to visit North Carolina so that's

On the list but really anywhere in the USA is pretty do-able

Either by plane, train or automobile - so we're setting those aside

For now -

Since Grandma's started visiting Italy recently

And France also, Europe seems more accessible now

Germany doesn't seem out of reach, neither does Denmark really

And while Bulgaria does seem exotic, at least having been to Europe

Brings us a bit closer to that country than we ever were before so it seems

More a likelihood than it did before we started travelling across the ocean

So in the end, we were torn - Sejer Island off the coast of Denmark

Sounds very interesting and we definitely think we'd like to visit there

If only to meet Andrea and thank her for organizing such a fun challenge

And Australia also sounds like a fascinating place especially as it's summer

There now while we are still having our super cold winter - it is very

Far away though and we're not sure about such a long trip - we'd have to see

But the place we all agreed would be very cool to visit - and we don't

Mean cool like cold - but we do find it funny that we want to visit the one place

That's probably colder than where we live - Iceland! We know that there's

A volcano there - Canada doesn't have volcanoes and Iceland's has erupted

Recently - imagine that! Also, we love the Northern Lights and we think

Iceland probably sees them really often which we would also really like

Yes - if we could go anywhere for a visit - Iceland would be our choice, for sure.

               

MmmMmmMmm - Day 15

All those pictures of bread made us hungry

But also made me remember what J-JAL 1.5's

Very first word was and, you might have guessed

It already - it was the same as the title of this poem

Whenever my Grandpa would have something

Really yummy or delicious, he would go

"MmmMmmMmm" and right afterwards so

Would my little brother, even before he could

Say actual words - it was funny to hear him go

"MmmMmmMmm" over and over because

The more people laughed, the more he did it

It's fun to be the baby - I remember that but

I can still make people laugh sometimes, I can

SPRINGING FORWARD - Prompt 14

Our whole family on a curvy slide - hurry up Spring!

In this cold land where sub-Arctic temperatures

Make going outside impossible most days

It's hard not to wish that Spring would hurry up so

We can swing, slide, ride bikes and yes, shout hooray

BRUSHING TEETH IS FUN - Prompt 13

Even when you're little and have little tiny teeth

You have to take care of them or they get holes

That's what we heard anyhow - from our Aunt

She used to work with a dentist and that is a special

Doctor - a really nice one - we know because we go

To see one and he has a big, big, chair that's very comfy

But he said the same thing - you must brush, brush, brush

Your teeth after every meal so that the food goes

Down your throat and doesn't hang around your teeth

And make holes - I don't get it exactly but I love my toothbrush

It jiggles in my mouth all by itself and it has Thomas the Train

On it and my little brother's has Dora the Explorer on his

And his jiggles too, but we still have to remember to do some

Brushing or the bristles don't reach all the teeth - it tickles

Your tongue though but that's okay - it's very fun

HOOTS FOR BOOTS - Prompt 12

Where we live it gets very cold

So even if you aren't very old

A pair of these boots look good

And a hat to match with a hood

BURNING TO LEARN - Prompt 11

We may be little but that is more than okay

Every week at our day-home is another chance

For us to learn about something new every day

One week we were heroes, with powers and  capes

Next time we did robots and put on a robot play

Whatever our theme is, we do crafts and art to match

And have stories, movies, food too - that's just the way

Team Dragonosaurus lucks out at preschool - say YAY!

IMPROBABLY NAMED STUFF Prompt 10

 Look at all of us in the Lazy Boy!

                                          

We think it's funny how some things in your house

especially things you sit on for instance -

can have many different names

In our house, we have a couch but my Grandma

calls hers, that's almost the same, a sofa

and my Great-grandma used to call hers a chesterfield

But they all look pretty much the same to us

But a really funny thing - both of us think

Has to be the recliners - you know those fat chairs

That you can make go back and back and almost lay in them?

Some of them even have a little handle on the side

to help you lay them back? Mostly we've heard them

called a recliner, or a lounger, but Grandma and Grandpa

call theirs a "lazy boy" which makes us giggle like crazy

'cause first of all - how can they tell if a chair is a boy anyhow?

And why do they think it is tired? Or lazy? Isn't that what lazy means...

We think so but we're not sure - we just think it's pretty funny

And maybe rude - still, we love it when we get to sit in their

Lazy boy - hah- lazy boy - isn't that just the funniest thing ever?
