Preschool Logic

Amity:  Mama, I don't suck my fingers anymore!
Me:  That's great, Amity.  I'm really proud of you.
Amity:  Well, Vivien still sucks her Monkey.
Vivien:  And I'm still gonna suck my Sucking Monkey.
Amity:  That's disgusting.
Vivien:  Well, that what a Sucking Monkey is for.  For sucking!
Amity:  Oh...

If only every disagreement ended with such clarity.

It's Tornado Time

This is how we stayed entertained and calm (relatively) during the sirens and duck and cover last night in the hallway.  No tornadoes ended up touching down in our area but there were several very destructive and even fatal tornadoes in Granbury, Cleburne, and Ennis.  The DQ where we ate ice cream on our bluebonnet trip had its roof blown off.   We are grateful for our safety and praying for those that are recovering.

Friend of the Flag

April 17th was a big day at the Grover house.  Amity was the Friend of the Flag!  When Mrs. Kerlin began reading the clues, she really perked up at the first one.  Clue #3 isn't quite as true now that she isn't sleeping during rest time and usually falls asleep pretty quickly at night.  It's hard to write clues in August that will still be true in April!

Vivien had the unexpected opportunity to be Friend of the Flag a few weeks before and that is a RARE treat for a nursery kid.  The FOTF didn't show up and Mrs. Kerlin let her sub in.  She did a good job except I realized we need to brush up on our Pledge of Allegiance.  She was a little disappointed when I told her she didn't get to go up with Amity on her day.

Love fun Chapel School traditions!  Very simple but very big deals!
