Today's "school time" was fun, Grace worked on a page of colors and shapes while Grant colored a picture of a deer. (Why a deer? Well, it's off the beaten path of usual animals one finds on alphabet coloring pages and I knew Keith and Sandra would be so proud.) Grace did a good job with her coloring and said to me, "School is fun!" Yes it is sweetie, never forget it! I got a little crazy today and made some Jell-O playdough too. I used lime Jell-O and the playdough smells awesome, not like that store bought nasty-smelling stuff that makes me want to gag. You definitely wouldn't want to eat it, however! I don't think anything that has 1/2 cup of salt in it can
taste good. Grace has been playing with her playdough ball for an hour and is still going strong. Grant poked his fingers in his playdough portion a few times and then gave me a look that said, "What the heck is this? I'm tired. Put me to bed." So I did. Merritt came home from school and started right in on the process of creating a marvelous creature...maybe a dinosaur or a dragon. I can't quite tell yet. I don't think there is a Michealangelo in this house, unfortunately, although my turtle was pretty freaking awesome.

Joanna, your humor at the simple things in life cracks me up. I miss you!
School is fun! And yes Keith and I are very proud of you for showing your kids that "D" is for Deer. You know though Keith now is going to quiz your kids about all the animals he likes to hunt. ;)
Your blog has such good stuff Jo!
