awesomes

By
You know what's really awesome?

PBS Kids
laptops
and
foam swords from the dollar store (when not being used at attempted but highly unsuccessful mutilation of ones opponent of course.)

Here are few other things that could make the list on any given day:
-balloons
-bubbles
-squirt guns
-Dora on DVD (and volume control to quiet her yelled commands)
-while we're on the subject - PORTABLE DVD PLAYERS - oh yeah
-string cheese
-colored marshmallows
-popcorn
-a meal consisting of string cheese, colored marshmallows and popcorn
-mega-absorbing diapers
-mindless yet entertaining literature
-an entire day free from children, work and chores (this one is hypothetical, of course, since I have yet to experience it)

I'm sure I could list more, but the foam sword is no long magically interesting, and I'm getting multiple demands for colored marshmallows. So I'm just going to include one more of my favorite awesomes (which is a word when you refer to it as a noun - which I am):

So so true!! Homemade playdough also feel into that category for us.
All I know is I need to think of some fun different thing to do tomorrow to keep us all happy :)

even better? marshmallows with a skinny stick pretzel poked into it. You an use it sorta like a handle and the flavor combo is divine. (one of the many things I learned as nursery leader several years ago!)

GIVEAWAY (of the photo Christmas card variety)

By
I think I just creeped out my four year old. I pulled out the, "You'd better go to bed because Santa's Elves are watching you to make sure you're being good!" routine. His eyes got big, and round, and scared. And he said, "Why would they do that?!" Also, our church building burned down yesterday. No wait, it didn't. But the alarm went off, and the entire ward just sat there in the chapel (and gym, because we have an enormous ward.) I sat there too. I don't know what everyone else was thinking, but the thought going through my head was, "Can somebody please get that alarm turned off, it is WAY TOO LOUD!!!!" Seriously, I think our ward is now 37% deafer after that. Oh, and there was no actual fire. And the first fire truck to show up was driven by one of our ward members who was on duty that day. Good times. And now, that GIVEAWAY: For procrastinators everywhere (that would include me) I'm giving away one free photo Christmas card d

snow day

By
Yesterday was a "snow day".  As in, it snowed 6+ inches overnight so the school district called all the parents at 5:00 AM with a recorded message in Spanish telling them the schools were closed. Yes, I said AT 5:00 AM.  IN SPANISH.  I'm pretty sure we still speak English in the U.S. even if it's well before dawn.  I didn't answer my phone so my voicemail recorded it all, it was a pretty long message for such a short topic.  I mean, they could have just said, "SNOW DAY!" and all the parents would be like, "OK!"  And then we could all get back to our sleeping.  But no.  Long Spanish message.  (At 5 AM.) A few minutes after hearing the phone go off I checked the message just in case someone had died or something (since that's pretty much the only time someone SHOULD call me that early).  I had no idea what the message said in my half-asleep state, but I coudln't go back to sleep so finally I woke up for real and listened again.  I h
