self-inking











but not self-cleaning. Unfortunately.

because these things aren't written down anywhere else

I need to write them somewhere, because I'd hate to forget this sort of stuff.

In the carpool line for drop-off, as {p} was getting all tangled up while trying to put on his coat.

Me: What is going on with your coat? Hurry! You need to hurry and get it on!
{p}: Well, I wanted to wear the other side of it. You know, it's inversible!

snow!!!!!

Right now the boys are on the couch with hot chocolate (heated chocolate soy milk for {s}). The house is warm and cozy, and out the windows we can see SNOW. It doesn't happen often here, so it is a cause for celebration when it does. Excitment, wonder, and chocolate-milk moustaches on the boys' faces. {p} is wondering if his Daddy will cook hotdogs outside on the snowy grill, and wanting to know if we'll have a fire in the fireplace.

SNOW is like a HOLIDAY here. A reason to celebrate!

And now... hoping that it will stick to the ground, and hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

wish I'd found this earlier!

I found this while looking for some curriculum about the seasons of the Church for children's church. I really wish I'd seen it earlier in the season, but that's okay - there is a devotion for every day. I will bookmark that site. Go ahead and visit. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
