Christmas picture attempts

Someone always has to ruin them. This year, Zac is taking that role, for the most part. Except....in these.....it was not two legged kids who were not cooperating.

Time Marches On

The other day Ana and I were doing her practice for Knowledge Bowl (she just joined and is doing great--it's like a trivia contest for elementary kids, they compete with other districts). One of the questions involved the definition of a word ending in -cide. I explained that suffix means "to kill". I gave her some examples. Homocide--to kill another human. Suicide--to kill yourself. Paricide--to kill your parents. Genocide--to kill a group of humans. And fratricide--to kill your brother.

She smiled.

And then we heard from the other room: "YOU'RE NOT GONNA FRATRICIDE ME!"
