School's out for Summer


I think Sam captured the essence of what Alice Cooper was referring to in this song, don't you?

This is what we'll miss doing on Monday mornings with Miss Anita:
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Watch me hammering.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. I try to pound them straight.



Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Don't want to make mistakes.


Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. You know it feels so good, to make things out of wood.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. (Sung to the tune of the Hammer Song, but whenever I try to sing it without the music it ends up sounding like the Jeopardy theme song.)

The Bang Bang song always follows...Julia's here today. Julia's here today. Julia came to school today. Julia's here today. Yeeeeaaaahhhhh!!!! JULIA!!! (and Arden and Even and Anthony and Joren and Ellie and Frank and Cameron)
We always ended circle time with the parachute. As the oldest in the class, Julia could have easily spent another 15 minutes singing and doing finger plays. I caught her making one up all by herself today: Looks an awful lot like she's twiddling her thumbs.













Julia has been going to ECFE classes since she was six days old (in a sling during Sam's class). She took her first class with Grant last summer when they were eight months old. Sam was 18 months old before I discovered ECFE. Today was the end of an era for us. I have learned so much from the wonderful teachers and from the other moms in both classes this year. It was so sad to say goodbye this morning. Thank goodness for playgroups!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
