Our Favorite Books

One of our favorite read aloud books is Cool Time Song by Carole Lexa Schaefer. It's a story of animals on the savannah, and the peaceful time they share around the watering hole at sundown. There's a bit of an environmental message, too.

Our favorite part is the middle, where the animal noises make a song. We like to all make the animal noises in chorus.

There is also a white dove on each page spread. We like to search for the bird until we find it. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's more tricky.

Somehow, we ended up with more than one copy of this book. Lucky us!

Preschool projects

Katie made a Christmas ornament at preschool! She poured the paint inside a glass ball, and swirled it around. She chose 2 shades of pink (!) and one of blue with some white.





And today Katie painted an igloo! She loves to paint, and this was especially fun because she painted with a sponge.

Three good things...

**Pharmaceuticals. Man, I feel better already.

**Learning the brioche stitch. Have had to pull out this project three times, but hey, that means more knitting, right?

**Warm bath. That's my goal for tonight. Bath with a good book.

Today was a good day.
