Friday Fragments

~Wednesday, a little girl in kindergarten told me she had "fairy glitter"...and she shared a couple with me.  (It was gold glitter!)

~ King Cakes.  Mine should be here today!  The ones with cream cheese filling are incredible.

 I ordered ours from Marguerite's on the advice of a coworker who is from New Orleans.  I may get brave and try out Jessica's recipe.  Because they're just too good to only have one.  And Lent starts next Wednesday. 

~ The bathroom remodel is going well so far.  CH came up with the remodel plan by himself; we picked out (and CH bought) the hardware + vanity and cabinets last night.  I can't wait to see how it turns out.

~ Spring feels like it's here...but I know better.  With spring break a week away, I know we'll have one more bout of winter.

~ I've almost finished watching the first season of  "The Event",  just in time for the second season to start on Monday.  One of the actresses is the daughter of a parishioner, and I had the honor of meeting her after mass a few months ago.  Very nice and down to earth.  That's my only brush with fame.

~  She's a "percher".  She doesn't get on the back of the couch very often, but when she does, it's really sweet.

  

~ Everyone have a good "P.O.E.T.S. Day"!  (Pee On Everything Tomorrow's Saturday)

Seuss

Yesterday was the anniversary of Dr. Seuss' birthday.  One of the things I love about my schools is that they have fun.  The staff has fun, and the students have fun.  I've worked in some schools where they didn't believe kids could learn by having fun.  It was all business.

Yesterday, the students were encouraged to dress up as their favorite character from a Dr. Seuss book.  There were a lot of Cindy Lou Whos and a lot of Things roaming the halls.  I really wanted to take pictures of the kids, because some of them did a really good job with their costumes, but I had to resist the temptation and not take any.  Of the kids, anyway.

Here's the special ed teacher who had the "run in" with Kenny Chesney a couple of weeks ago:

Even the volunteers got into the action:

He was nice enough to let me take his picture, knowing it was going on my blog!  In his words:  "I've been blogged!"
I had to take a picture of the special ed teacher's bulletin board:

They've done an excellent job with their board this year! 

Do you remember doing anything special on March 2nd to commemorate Dr. Seuss' birthday?  If not, what about your kids?
