Naked Baby!

Rub a Dub Dub! Lou Lou in the Tub!

Oh, so cute...until I tell you that the reason she was even in the tub to begin with was because she had so much poo on her it actually necessitated a bath. It is really something to say that you have your own poo on your own shoulder. Yuck.

Still waiting for that snow day. Here are some things I've heard you can do to conjure one:

1) Light a white candle.

1a) Light a white candle and dance around it naked.

2) Lay out four spoons.

3) Flush your toilet three times.

So far, I have not found any of these methods to be a guaranteed snow day. What are some snow day myths that you have heard? I'm willing to try anything at this point. :)

Al -
I just pray that the power will go out. When the power goes out, our phones don't work at the daycare and thus, no work.
No advice on the snow day - we're usually open on those days because we're not a "true" school.

Lou Lou in the tub made me smile..truly smile for the first time in about two weeks. Thanks Al.

Cute!! :) I've heard that telling your friends how awesome they are and giving them lots and lots of presents leads to many snow days...

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.

Day 80 -- Calvin and Hobbes

Image
When I was in junior high and high school, I used to read the anthologies of several comic strips, including Garfield, Fox Trot, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes.  I remember reading them by the light of my bedside lamp, trying to stifle my giggles so that my parents wouldn't come bust me for staying up too late reading (the horror!). Calvin and Hobbes, especially, resonated with my sense of humor.  I found the strip simultaneously witty, funny, thought-provoking and perceptive.  I collected all of the anthologies, but somewhere between then and now, I either lost them or gave them away.  I told my husband about my tendency to read them from cover to cover, and how I was sad that I no longer had them.  Not too surprisingly, for Christmas, I received The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book from Santa. I have been slowly working my way through the book, and tonight I was reminded of Calvin's finicky eating habits and of his gift for creating macabre snowman art.  I w
