The Princess and the Pizza

The women in our church wanted us to get a chance to serve in the community so they appointed all of us The Story Time Ladies at the William Wright Elementary School. We got to sign up to either go to the school and read a book or to babysit someone's children while they are at the school reading. Today I was Princess Paulina (of Princess Paulinas' Pizza Palace of course.) The pizza delivery girl, Princess Isabel, came with me! I read The Princess and the Pizza by Mary Jane Auch and Herm Auch. It was so much fun.  We taught the first graders how to do the princess wave and afterward they had fun asking Paulina questions about her pizza palace. 0041

My Favorite Things About Today

--Hazel eats Cheerios. --Luke loves scout camp.  He comes home so energetic with lots of stories about archery, scavenger hunts and shishkabobs.

--THE most obnoxious yet cute thing ever, after I did whatever I needed to do in the bathroom, I flushed the toilet and opened up the door to Isabel shouting at me, "CONGRATULATIONS!  YOU JUST WENT TO THE BATHROOM!"

--Sylvia did nice guy cross eyes and mean guy cross eyes. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubuSdtODMv0]

Reader Discretion

This morning Luke and Isabel taught Sylvia how to play follow the leader.  She loved the power of being a leader but wasn't a very vigilant follower.  Other than that, we mostly did basic school today, Journal writing, math worksheets, workbook etc.  Luke has scout camp for four hours every night until Friday this week.  I am sure he is loving it right now being with all of his friends (instead of his three younger sisters.) My "Fairly Happy" friend and I are each going to start a once a week class for our children.  I love her kids and am so excited.  This will be  fun and help me to actually plan and prepare something definite to teach each week.

GROSS STORY:

Today was trash day (important fact in a minute.)  This morning we had our front door opened to let in some cool air.  Sylvia was outside in the driveway and wanted to play in Joey's car.  So I let her.  A few minutes later she came inside holding something saying, "They threw this out!"  I couldn't see what she was holding so I asked, "Who did?"  her response, "Our neighbors!"  As I came closer I could see that whatever she was holding looked like pink chapstick so of course Sylvia would wonder why anyone would throw out something beautiful and pink.  When I finally saw what it was I made Sylvia throw it away and wash her hands then and there.  It was a pink TAMPON APLICATOR!
