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.)

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

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 ...
