going green!

Metroparent Magazine is sponsoring a Go Green Family Challenge... this is what the Krug family told them:

We're a family that gets geeked about learning new stuff together. We love our world and want to help take care of it, but right now our contribution is limited to our five reusable grocery bags. Our kids are at that age where they're "green" and ripe for training, but our grown-up habits are not setting a great example. Help us!

And we were picked!! We're one of five families in southeastern WI going green!!

what we learned today

1. Touching the top of the waffle iron is not a good thing.
2. Pouring boiling water into a glass carafe is pretty dumb.
3. Ladybugs do bite.
4. "The whole nine yards" is really about ammo.
5. "Uh-oh" is Eva's favorite word.
6. Kids are really cute when they're sleeping.

Had to post...

Lunchtime. We just read Alice the Fairy by David Shannon. Cute book. I generally like what he does.

Quote, page one: "I'm not a Permanent fairy. I'm a Temporary fairy. You have to pass alot of tests to be a Permanent fairy."

I pitch a fit. "ALOT" -- in print! Not in my house.

Quote, Alyssa: "Mom, I have a hypothesis. I think David Shannon knows how to write 'a lot.' I think he just wrote 'alot' to show how the fairy would write it."

Lemonade out of lemons.

loving spring break!

"Good morning, Mom! We wanted to surprise you!"
