My Many Colored Days

by Kaden Zoske

On my red days I feel fast like a bear in Minnesota.
On my yellow days I feel happy like a dog with a bone
on a warm sunny day.
On my gray days I feel slow like a turtle in a dirty pond.
On my brown days I feel sad like a fish who just got caught.
On my orange days I feel mad like a monkey with no bananas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

From Our Family To Yours!!

Please stop back after Christmas to read about our highlights of 2011 and our wishes for 2012!

Big G Cereals & DC Comics Giveaway!!

We love cereal - for breakfast, snacks, and recipes - so I was thrilled when I was contacted about this giveaway.  Kaden was excited about the comic books and Green Lantern action figure.  He has read all of the comic books and added the Green Lantern figure to his Super Hero collection.  Our family couldn't go wrong with the participating cereals, my favorite being Honey Nut Cheerios, Chad & Kaden's Cocoa Puffs, Kylee's Rees's Puffs, and Kaydi loves Trix & Lucky Charms.  They all agreed it's hard to choose a favorite though.

Big G cereals and DC Comics have joined forces to create a powerful breakfast for you and your favorite little sidekicks.  Available now, specially marked Big G cereal boxes will feature collectable DC Super Hero comic books starring members from the Justice League, from Batman to Wonder Woman to Green Lantern!

SNOW!!

We had our first snow today.  The kids had a great time
sledding and snow boarding after school.
And YES, I had a smile on my face all day
and started playing Christmas music at school.
