Drama Queen

Sarah's drama class performed their play today on Johnny Appleseed. She did a fantastic job as did her classmates. Our only glitch was finding a pot that fit her head. Luckily a neighbor had bigger pots then us.

Treats all around

We recently got our standardized test results back covering our school year learning. The children did wonderful so when the ice cream truck came around, we had a special treat.

He's come a long way

Mr. Doug made sure we got a picture of Sean with a snake. At the beginning of the year Sean wouldn't touch any of Mr. Doug's many creatures, and now he'll touch anything and even hold a snake. Mr. Doug was very proud!

Overheard while a preschooler was struggling get a book out of the library basket in the living room: "The basket isn't listening!"

Cleveland's bad rap

Mom, "Why do you think a snow leopard might have a big furry coat? Where do you think he might live?"

Sean: "I know, he lives in Cleveland!"

We had a rainy day about a week ago. Living in Florida, you'd think we'd have more of those, but we are in a drought. It was one of those all day rains with gray skies and occasional thunder. Upon going outside in the late afternoon, Sarah took in a big breath, looked at me and said, "It smells just like Cleveland!"
