Its A Major Award!

May 26th, 2008

This little something arrived via UPS about 2 weeks ago. Because we stashed it away, saving it for a day when we were all home to work on it, I sort of forgot about it...

Its A Major Award!

If you read 5 Minutes For Mom, you'll know all about their contests and giveaways. Well I finally won one!

A Thousand Little Pieces

This represents one thousand teensy tiny pieces. Joy. But the family is hard at work putting it together on one of the old train table platforms, so that if we get bored (or tired) we can safely tuck it away without losing progress.

And since its Monday, lets play Whats On My iPod? Ironically, one of the songs plays along with the Lego City Police headquarters theme, in title only I suppose..

"Calling All Cars" by Senses Fail. I love this song. I mean, really love it. I love even more, the acoustic version. But what turned me on to Senses Fail, was this bonus track on Guitar Hero III...

This is my warm-up song on Guitar Hero. And Connor, loves this song - he knows every single word and loves to sing along when I play. Actually, he asks me to play it over and over. This song also has an acoustic version - actually I think the acoustic version of "Can't Be Saved" is way better. Give it a listen.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a rant about a moronic, inhumane kindergarten teacher in St Lucie, Florida. This story kept me up, shaking and infuriated until nearly 3AM. Mental note: do not move to St Lucie Florida.. and especially do not enroll our children in their public schools.

Around a year ago on this day..

    Oh, wow…that’s a fabulous prize! I used to spend hours and hours with my Lego bricks as a kid, and I sort of miss it.

    That story about the kindergarten teacher has me absolutely infuriated, too. How absolutely horrid and inhumane!

    I heard about that teacher. As a 1st grade teacher for eight years, I’m embarrassed. Horrible.
