Snowy Saturday

After "organizing" their room for "Organize your home day," the girls spent the evening playing in the snow and building a snowman.  The snowman fell over, but they had a great time with the neighbors, and Meg enjoyed eating the carrot when Frosty met his demise.

Six Months!

Eric wasn't feeling particularly smiley for this picture, so we'll try again next week, but our little man is 6 months old!  He is getting close to crawling--get up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth.  And, finally, he is starting to eat some real food.  He still hates every type of cereal, even if it is mixed with something else, but will he baby food.  Yeah for progress!

Schoolhouse Rock's Birthday

Tomorrow the holiday is the birthday of Schoolhouse Rock, one of my favorite teaching resources.  These are two of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock videos. Enjoy!

The Preamble:

A Holiday Everyday

Did you know today is National Spaghetti day?  My mom told me about a clever woman she knows who made a calendar of all the little known holidays to celebrate with her kids. I thought it was a great idea, so I did a little research and made my own.  You are welcome to it if you would like.   The girls are having telling all their friends. Tomorrow we are going to have crepes for dinner in honor of Whipped Cream Day.
