ho ho ho. the gnomes walk in a row, and when the gnomes are going out, they make no noise and no do shout. ho ho ho. the gnome walk in a row.
the elder brother was particularly enchanted with his gnome garb and hid completely from passersby...spending much of his prefered leisure time with video games, sports, and hotwheels, i was surprised to see how quickly and eagerly he took to this kind of imaginative play. poor kid though, with his blue eyes he suffers from the same sun-provoked squinting.
little nephews dressed up for a photo adventure for nanna's birthday...they had a wonderful time hiding in the woods and being invisible in their gnome hats. it is so easy to take genuinely warm photographs of children when they are sincerely happy in their element...
hack! hack! the rocks we crack! shake! shake! the mountains quake! we are the gnomes we dig for gold...

Hey there! Welcome to the "blogger"sphere. Nice to see you around. Thanks for dropping by my blogspot. I love the pictures of your nephews, particularly the bottom two.
Curious to know where the little gnome chant comes from. Is it Waldorfian?
hi ya!!!
thanks for stopping by Nerissa!
i miss you guys so much!
the little ditty IS from Waldorf (although i'm not sure if it is a traditional verse, but i gleaned it from a waldorf setting). Nerissa, you would ADORE most aspects of Waldorf of education. I wish we were in the same place teaching again, we could learn about it together. it is hard to find verses, songs, etc. on the net...perhaps this is because Waldorf focuses on the natural and simplest aspects of life: the physical realm of work is preferable to the electronic, although by no means dogmatically shunned.
Hope you are well as well can be!
