A Whirlwind 24 Hours
Wow! I don’t know where to start. It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours. If you’re new to reading my blog, you probably don’t know about our relocation to Colorado last September, which wound up to be a very short-lived move.
We call it our “11 week vacation in Colorado” or Our Colorado Adventure.
I guess I’ve been online for so long now that social media stories are just a natural part of what we’re doing. However, for those who still have yet to venture into the online world, or who aren’t quite sure what social networking is, it’s still foreign to them, and especially in these economic times, I hope this story gives them ideas on how they can embrace this, too.
Teaching Kids About Appreciation
Emily loves sending cards and I think it’s so important that we teach our kids about the value of sending thank you cards and showing true appreciation.
When Emily was in kindergarten, each month, they studied a different country around the world. At the end of the school year, the teacher and the class put on a mini worlds’ fair. It was so much fun. There were tables set up for each country with special clothes, foods, games and themes unique to that nation.
All the kids were encouraged to invite a friend, so Emily asked the little girl who lives in the house behind us. Even though they go to different schools, hey have been good friends since we all moved into this neighborhood.
Phineas and Ferb
I didn’t post them last night because I couldn’t find them. Of course, when I’m not looking for something, that’s when it shows up.
I wanted to post these because when Emily showed these two drawings to me, I had the same reaction as her George Jetson drawing.
If you have elementary age kids, who even occasionally watch The Disney Channel, then you’ll know who Phineas and Ferb are. It’s quite a funny cartoon.
These are images from the show.
Emily drew these characters from the show, by simply pausing the tv and looking at the still frames.
