What'll be in those Eggs??

This was a serious dilemma Ray and I thought about. What the heck will the Easter Bunny put in the Easter Eggs this year? This is what we came up with.


When a V is a B

I picked Maddy up from school yesterday and had this conversation:

Maddy: Mum, mum... guess what.... Ms. Boscketti lost her boy.
Me: She lost her boy?
Maddy: Yes, she lost her boy. Gone.
Me: Where?
Maddy: Everywhere.

I pretend that I almost don't hear it... I don't want to confront that right now, her Kindergarten teacher somehow misplaced a child.

After dinner:

Maddy: Mom, Ms. Boscketti really lost her boys.
Me: Were they in your class? Did she find them??

Now I am growing a little more nervous, and pondering where I will send her tomorrow because no.way.in.heck is she going back to Ms. I Lose Children at School's class.

...Somehow I forget all of this by the morning, and we are off to school.

Maddy: Mum, can you believe Ms. Boscketti lost her boys?

I stop the car.

Me: What boys?
Maddy: Her boys.
Me: So, there are 2 missing boys in school?
Maddy: NO! Her booooooooyyyyyssss.
Me: Yes, her boy. She has two missing boys.
Maddy: NOOOooooOOOoo maaaa. She lost her VOICE.

How Reed Eats

Tubing

The Girl Scouts held a citywide tubing event today and Maddy and I signed up. I didn't know how it would go over with my likes-the-heat-and-stay-indoors girl, but I wanted to give it a try. Especially now that I'm a co leader, sometimes Maddy has to go along with it. 

While we did fall up the mountain, long scary conveyor belt story, and only made it once down... Because she was "not doing that again". We did have fun. And we did get outside for air.
