Plume!

Mara-Grace's Kindergarten class has a mascot named Plume! Each child takes turns bringing Plume home for the weekend. Finally it was our turn to welcome this very important house guest! xo

Here is our friend Plume and below is a note that I sent in to Mara's class with Plume this morning. We all miss Plume! xo



Bonjour!
Oh how we have enjoyed our weekend with Plume! She is a wonderful new friend and she is most welcome to visit anytime!!!
Mara-Grace was so excited to introduce Plume to our family when she got off of her bus. She showed Plume around so that she would feel at home right away! After this, Mara-Grace got to enjoy her first candy cane of the season with Plume by her side! Plume was curious, but didn’t want a taste as she was a little concerned about getting sticky! She did LOVE the smell of the candy cane though and then was very tempted to share with Mara-Grace!
Plume showed our family what a wonderful dancer she is by twirling around to some Christmas music with Mara-Grace and her little sister Hannah. Even our pets, Lady and Winnie wanted to dance with Plume!
Plume settled very well on Friday night after some stories and woke up bright and Early Saturday morning. Plume spent the morning with us at the Science Museum in Ottawa. She loved making conductor’s hats and riding on the trains! Saturday afternoon, Plume helped to make a Gingerbread House and she was very creative and talented at decorating it too! Plume even got to meet Mara-Grace’s grandparents and she was so polite. They thought Plume was very helpful and sweet! By the end of the day, Plume could hardly stay awake and she fell fast asleep in her little nest!
Plume and Mara-Grace both awoke very early on Sunday morning and Plume helped make Pumpkin Pancakes. Then she got ready and Mara-Grace even put ribbons on Plume’s head! She LOVED this and felt very fancy! Plume was tired and stayed home while we went to mass and when we returned home; our cat Winnie told us that Plume was still napping! Mara-Grace woke Plume up and they did a lot of playing together!
In the afternoon, Plume helped to make some Sugar cookies and even helped decorate them! She then had a great time making ornaments with Mara!
It was so nice to have Plume visit our family right before Christmas. We will all miss her very much and we hope that she will visit again soon!
