We finally got around to watching Bolt since it got placed on our instant queue. Thanks Netflix! We loved it. Before we even watched it, I knew the hamster in the ball was going to be my favorite character. Rhino ended up being even more endearing and adorable!
When I was a wee one, I never fancied Barbie's dream house. Perhaps, it was because I was still in my purple phase and everything was in that awful Pepto-Bismol pink. I always loved the description of the gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel and wished I could live there (without the witch of course). Last winter, I was searching for a gingerbread picture for a mosaic and stumbled across this picture:

I have been spending tons of time in kinder. It's even got the first graders thinking that I'm really a kindergarten teacher. Oy. Here are my two favorite highlights from the last two days:
Highlight #1:
The parents were supposed to donate magazines for this shape collage activity. One of the magazines did not have a cover on it, but I thought it looked vaguely familiar. The models looked a bit too glamorous for a regular catalog. Then, I began to flip through it and it was a Victoria's Secret catalog. Just as I suspected! My friend and I deduced that the kids would only be able to find circles and triangles in that magazine.
Highlight #2:
This wee one was rocking out as he did his pattern shape stamping. What was he rocking out to? Not an alphafriend kid friendly song. It was his own rendition of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga. He wasn't just humming. He was singing the words he thought he heard. Too cute! I didn't have the heart to make him stop because it made me giggle inside.
I know I'm part of the MTV generation. I totally grew up watching Real World (before it got really slutty), Road Rules, Daria and endless hours of music videos. Ever so often, my restlessness and short attention span will creep up. These sentiments have been creeping up more frequently lately. I haven't been able to stick with one book. How do I manage? Skip between three a-mazing books:
I have a soft spot for the Dave Matthews Band. I wouldn't say that they're my all time favorite band, but some of their songs are my all time favorite songs. "You and Me" may be the latest addition to my favorite songs list. I can endlessly listen to it. If you want to hear it, click on the image below. :)
