Childhood Logic.

Student: (overly dramatic) MISSS!!!!! Today is such a bad day. We had an English quiz. And my group has bad luck. And we have our science test now. And then our report cards........(Pause)......but then it will all be okay because I get to eat McDonald's!!!!!!! (smiles and skips into the classroom)


Whatever gets you through the day ;)

RAYOVAC LAUGH ATTACK

Student: (ALL GIGGLES) Miss...this battery is the funniest battery. It says "HEAVY DOOOOO-TY"!!!!

I'm not sure why this was so funny, but I DO KNOW that I was also in giggles after this remark!

WHAT A DAY.

When you notice you are wearing two different shoes - and not until you've arrived at work - you just KNOW the day is going to be a DANDY ONE! Haha. The good news is that I happen to be the world's luckiest lady because my main man ran home on his prep period to get me the right match!

Thank you, LOVE!
XOXO

Warning: May Enter Your Head and NEVER Leave!

It's official. As of late, my music interests have been dictated by the Biebs. This song is SO GOOD and Biebs & Co. make this un-official video SO FUN! Love it.

Addition to NYC Itinerary?

I was watching Good Morning America yesterday and was THRILLED to hear that there is a new play on Broadway called "Magic/Bird". Now, I love magic and I hate birds, but you sports folk know that this is actually a story about basketball rivals Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. What better way to lure your husband to the theatre than with a BASKETBALL PLAY?! (Haha, just kidding! Phil is a SUPER musical/play companion - always wearing a smile when in attendance). We'll have to read some reviews before securing our tickets to this sporty affair :)

A HAPPY TEACHER happens when.....

.....a student can't wait to show you her NEW BOOK ABOUT SCIENCE that she got on spring break!

Today was a good day.

TOO DARN CUTE.

The first day after spring break.....

Student: (excitedly) Miss! Do you notice something that has changed in me?

Me: Hmmm.......you look very tanned!

Student: Not that.

Me: (really trying hard to notice a difference) Did you get a haircut??

Student: NO! I got new shoes!!!!!!!!!!! (points to bright orange soccer shoes)

Me: Oh, OF COURSE! They look fantastic!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

At school today I had one very frustrated boy ask me "Miss, what do EGGS have to do with BUNNIES?!!!!!" The truth is, I have no idea, but I do know that I LOVE this traditional combo.

Anyways, we hope the Easter Bunny gave you the joy of hunting for eggs this morning! And if there wasn't a hunt, we hope you had some SWEETS to indulge in with family. Here are some photos from a city-wide Easter egg hunt we embraced in London. The hunt was organized by Faberge to raise money for elephants and children (<---- awesome choices, right?!).






Sending you lots of love and CHOCOLATE!

XOXO

Happy Birthday Papa PARKINSON!

Sending you lots of love on this EXTRA SPECIAL OCCASION!!!!

Love,
Linds and Phil
XOXO

Home & Unpacking!

We arrived home this morning after a good-as-it-gets, overnight flight from London. After dropping our bags in the living room, we couldn't wait to get into bed and get some REAL sleep! So sleep we did. For FOUR HOURS! In separate beds. In separate rooms. Simply because 6 nights in a double is TOO LONG! Haha.

The rest of our day included lots of coffee and tv. (Comments on shows: LOVE ARSENIO from Apprentice, missing Colton on Survivor, and curious as to who Hunt ruined his marriage with on Greys). We also dropped by the neighbours for a quick chat before starting the unpacking process. Normally, the latter is not a favourite activity of mine but this time I had some unusually-awesome-souvenirs to take out! YAY FOR MAGAZINES and TETLEY TEA! The ABSOLUTE BEST mementos one could bring back to this American magazine and Tetley barren place ;)


We just finished making PILLSBURY egg McMuffins for dinner and I think Phil has entered into laundry heaven. If I make him a cup of tea, I'm hoping he'll say "YES!" to a few episodes of Gossip Girl before bedtime! Alas, he hasn't done a load in a whole week and is eager to get back at it :)

Wishing all of you a restful Easter Eve and the best of luck in tomorrow's hunt!
