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!

Santa's Dead

"LOOK! It's Santa!" I exclaimed in my best impression of elf as I noticed a child putting on a Santa suit. "I'm not SANTA! I'm -------" "Oh, I thought you were Santa." "No, Santa's dead. I guess I have to deliver the presents now" (with a deep sigh) "Santa's dead?? What happened?" "Yeah, Santa's dead. It's a long story" and.. just like that he skipped off to play. Clearly the story was too long to tell, and he had other things that were more important to do than to share it with me. Many programs are looking at the calendar and providing materials and lesson plans revolving around spring and Easter. We tend not to look too closely at the calendar and instead follow the lead of the children. We have many holiday related materials available to the children, but they are available year round. On any given day of the year you will most likely find a child dressed up as Santa (in fact...

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...
