Icy Day, School Project and a question

By -
1) Yesterday there was no school due to a thin layer of ice on the streets here around FullerTown. It was an interesting day with all of the little Fullers around. We had to use our creativity to keep from getting bored. So, we had an indoor picnic lunch! I packed every one's lunchboxes and spread out the special 'cover.' They enjoyed themselves. Paul was on the move so he is not in the picture!


2) Luke brought home a note last Friday informing us that he needed to make a 100th Day Project. Now, I will admit, I had no idea what a 100th Day Project was. The teacher did send home a half-sheet of poster board. I do know that since I was in Kindergarten a celebration of sorts has evolved to acknowledge the 100th day of school. So, I had an idea of what this project was about. I do, however, feel shafted that there was no such thing as a 100th day celebration during the 1983-84 school year. I really would have enjoyed that special snack of self-made trail mix containing 10 each of 10 different snacks.

Anyway, Luke knew he wanted his 100th day project to display his love of firetrucks. So, he and Microsoft Office's Clip Art Gallery came up with 10 fireman things that he could paste onto this red poster board. He chose the items that he wanted to display. 10 firetrucks, 10 firemen, 10 fireman hats, 10 fire hoses, 10 flames, 10 axes, 10 fire houses, 10 pair of boots, 10 dalmatians (his favorite) and 10 fire hydrants. You probably already know that there is not one square inch of poster board left visible. He is very proud of his first school project, and he should be. He did all the cutting and pasting himself.


3) A question. Would those of you who read this blog like/enjoy/appreciate for me to start sharing recipes here on FullerTown? I am thinking of taking photos to display the preparation all the way through to the finished dish. Would you like that? If so, give me some ideas for what kinds of recipes you would like for me to share. (Not that I am a self-proclaimed great chef or anything like that. I just think it will be fun! Although, my little neighbor, Z, does think I will be on the Food Network one day.)

Hey Laura...It's Christy!!! I have been checking in on your blog since we received you Christmas letter. Yes...I would love for you to share some of your recipes. I have never loved to cook but I am learning to stay in the kitchen and cook. Glad to see the happenings in FullerTown. Maybe we will be able together soon!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
