Me and My "Real" Hair

Last night during a social networking meeting of the minds with other preschool bloggers, my secret was shared. Although, many of you recognize my blog, google id, twitter acct, etc with this wonderful photo from a few years back, This is not my real hair. I'm sorry to disappoint all of you who thought it was.

This photo is my son's favorite family photo. I'm sorry to inform you that I also do not have wild, crazy, tall green hair. However, at the time this photo was taken, my son did have bright fire engine red hair.

I don't have all kinds of crazy tentacles coming out of my head either.

Although, they are quite springy and fun!

I cannot pass for "chocolate thunder," Thing One or Thing Two on a daily basis. Who doesn't want to be called "chocolate thunder?" I mean, seriously....

I'm not really part fish, although I do like to swim.
I think I make a pretty good fish, and I'm really good at singing underwater.

You can get a glimpse of my real hair here.

I almost always wear it up. It tends to just get in the way when it is down......

However, I'm sporting a GREAT pair of googly eyes!

I suppose you could say I'm kind of like a butterfly.... There is a lot of changing going on!

Here is another photo where you can see a glimpse of my "real" hair.

(I really like this one with the butterflies)

In case you were wondering.... this is a more accurate photo of what I "really" look like. On a "normal" day.

But then again, I'm an early childhood educator and a mom.... So, what is normal?

And, the last photo I will share is one where I am swinging.... I love to swing.

Now, I hope you were able to get over the shock and disbelief.

Please note that on any given day, I may be sporting any or all of the above.

Happy Sunday!

My friend died

I learned a hell of a lot from Dan Hodgins. He was mentor, a friend, and a "bone shaker" for many of us in the field of Early Childhood Education. He was and will always be a champion for children, and protector of childhood. I have so many great memories of time spent with him, it just doesn't seem like we had enough time. Dan died this past Saturday. Interestingly enough, Dan and I talked about death quite a bit. It is one of those topics that isn't talked about all that much in our field, but is super important. All living things eat, all living things poop, and all living things die. Dan and I recorded a podcast for awhile called "Shaking Bones." Dan was always shaking bones, even before I met him. To say I was honored to be asked to be his co-host would be putting it lightly. I loved recording with him. He was never afraid to touch on topics that were a bit edgy, or issues that sometimes weren't talked about much at all. We even t

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them
