Loof Lirpa! Update

On Sunday, I finally got the videos I’ve been taking on the camera onto the computer (thanks to half the family working on it, lol).  So, a month and a half later, here are the Loof Lirpa! videos:

When Dad got home, we told him about the Loof Lirpa and how it didn’t show up.  We wrote loof lirpa on a paper and had Esther read it in a mirror.  Finally, she got it!  It was cute.

Then she & Jared drew what they thought a Loof Lirpa bird would look like:

Loof Lirpa!

Esther’s “Special Homework Assignment”:

Today is a special day.  It only comes once a year.  Today is the day the Loof Lirpa bird returns to our town.  Follow these directions very carefully to see the Loof Lirpa bird for yourself.

  1. Go outside and stand on something tall (some steps, a patio, a chair, whatever).
  2. Look into the sky and call “Loof Lirpa! Loof Loof Lirpa!  Loof Lirpa!” and he will appear.
  3. If he doesn’t, go back inside, look into a mirror and do the same thing.
  4. Next, draw a picture of the Loof Lirpa bird and bring it to school tomorrow!

She gave me the slip of paper this was typed on when I picked her up.  I laughed right out loud reading it!  I had a hard time not laughing the whole ride home.

I’ll share the results of the assignment after I figure out how to get the videos from the camera to the computer…
