S-U-C-C-E…
Looks like Emily made it back to school just in time! I just got this note from her teacher:
“We are having a school wide spelling bee on Friday morning at 8:15. Each 3-5 teacher held a small spelling bee in classrooms this week to determine who will represent in the big school wide spelling bee. We held our spelling bee this morning and Emily won! On Friday she will have to stand in front of the whole school on stage with other classroom winners and participate in a spelling bee. I have talked to her about what will happen on that day and she says she wants to do it.”
WOO! That’s my baby! Even sick she’s a chip off the old block. Everybody on the internet can take heart that when she finally joins our ranks, there will be one less person posting who confuses they’re, their, and there.
Tomorrow, her class is having “Read and Relax” day. The kids can bring pajamas to change into at school, as well as one stuffed animal. Adults will be coming in to read. I’m not sure I’ll be able to, it’ll depend on the Jayne hats, but I’ll assess that tonight. What I will be doing is bringing in 20 cupcakes, which Emily apparently volunteered me to do. Fortunately they have to be store-bought and sealed, so I don’t have to cook. Heh.
Question! If you were going to read a short book or story to a bunch of eight year olds, what would you choose?
Superman Doomsday wasn’t bad, but some of Superman’s dialogue was a bit stilted. I’m sure it’s tough getting all the technobabble in there. On to Ocean’s Eleven – the remake. I’ve seen the original, and I’m not expecting fantastic things from this, but we’ll see. One more Jayne hat down, 30 to go!
Yay for Emily doing so well!
I thouroughly enjoyed the new “Oceans” movies. Havent seen Oceans 13 yet but I just have to make time to rent it.

One of my favorites is Alexander’s Terrible No Good Very Bad Day (or something like that).
I wasn’t a fan of Ocean’s Eleven, but I seem to be in the minority among my friends on that one.

East of the Sun, West of the Moon if they’re the kind of kids who’ll like a fairy tale.
Otherwise, maybe, Simple Pictures Are Best.

PS apparently all the books from my childhood are out of print.
Also, worth a look Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like.

I always loved the Serendipity series of books. Still do, in fact.
