Weather Panda says: wear your mittens

It has been pointed out to me that I had not posted much over the holidays.  So to apologize, I dedicate today's post to Tara:  mom of two amazing little boys and friend to me (lucky me!)

After the pre-school pick-up on Friday, I decided to break free of the winter doldrums routine (you know: drive home, fix lunch, eat lunch, clean up lunch, play with legos, snuggle on couch with 5 year old for "rest time" and watching a movie, falling asleep during said rest time, waking up to clean something, meet the school bus and wonder what I'm going to make for dinner).  I so hope I am not the only one that this routine is familiar to!

We went to one of my favorite places - the teacher supply store.  Fun for all I'm telling you.  The kindergarten registration packet sitting on my counter has prompted me to really think about if I have prepared William enough for school in the fall.  I really hate that sinking feeling that he is about to enter "the real world" with outside influences.   It is a feeling that I recognize.  I've had it twice before.

I LOVE the teacher supply store.  I may ask it to be my valentine this year.  You remember last year's valentine don't you?

Here are the fab items that we could not leave home without:

a dry erase, magnetic letter board with magnet upper and lower case letters. And, Weather Panda...

because who wouldn't want to dress a weather panda?  Wait until you see his rain slicker!  Makes me want to do a rain dance!!  Until tomorrow Tara (and other faithful readers).....
