I have a lot of other stuff, but now it's after ten. Part of this hour I spent watching a play of the Littlest Pet Shop toys---B had them do a play for me. It was a hit with the whole audience!

I have been slow in getting my thank you up to Jane at My Many Colored Crayons , who had a drawing on her blog. I won! She was giving away this purse she made from a vintage tablecloth. I am thrilled to win it, and to have a really personal connection to the fine young woman who made this purse. She is someone who I think is exactly my age, and she works in a public school in L.A. I enjoy her blog and seeing her insights about teaching in an inner-city school. She's crafty! :-)

Here's my submission for the meme I found on Exceedingly Mundane. Here are the rules. If you have a blog, and you're reading this---I want you to take a minute and play along! Or leave a comment if you're blogless.
You need to:
1. Pick up a book that is near to you
2. Go to page twelve in the book
3. Read the first two sentences and post it on your blog
4. Also post the book title and the name of the author
5. Tag 3 other peopleI say modify #3 to your liking---both Ex. Mundane and I both did more then 2
sentences!I have not been writing on my blog. What?! Yes, I haven't been actually writing much. I want to do it more, so I will. But if you know me and can see what time I'm posting this, you know I'm up past my own prime time. So another time. :-)
Next week's theme is Sweet. Yum!

Can you Imagine . . .
*why her friend died, too?
*why she is wearing a nightgown? or what the nightgown might be instead of a nightgown?
* why another little boy had to get in on the action here?
Can you Imagine . . .
* why this little girl brought these tools and toys to the scene?
* what they are going to do?
* that this stroller was used for baby dolls and shopping and as a doctor's car?
These images from my preschool classroom last year are precious to me. The kids are full of imagination. They use what they have to make their story go the way they want. They use objects creatively. They join in the fun and sometimes get excluded by others. They imagine scenarios that I never would have thought of. They use the imaginations of others---their friends and things they see in TV shows and movies---to jump start their own imagining.
In some ways, this is the last big year for imagination. Even in kindergarten, their little lives get structured, and all their time is taken up with thinking about what we tell them to think about. This is the last great hope for us all---imaginations to think of new ways to solve old problems, to think about the world with new eyes.
Every year I get a fresh batch of new eyes to share my workdays with. They're full of potential, they're still hopeful (most of them!), they're excited about new things, they are joyful! I am blessed. Imagine!

I just had to get new shoes for both the kids. Yes, school just got out, and I'm buying shoes! J needed black closed-toe shoes for his performance this week, and we got these dress shoes. B needed new tennis shoes for running in track camp. She had been wearing the same shoes all school year, and when we got these new ones, they were two sizes bigger!
Can you see the sizes in the shoes? J---a man's size 9!!! Yikes! B---a girl's size 4.
This picture is really more about the nails than the shoes. I've been wanting to post pictures of my toenails. B and I have painted them in honor of her softball team---lime green and black! I wanted to go with less black than her, so I did little flowers on my big toes. She did little Fs (for Firecrackers) on her big toes. But we have matching shoes---she is big enough now to get the smallest woman's size in these flip-flops.
I am putting some new pictures on my Project 363 blog. Please have a look at those.
Next week's theme is Hair. I hope you'll come back! I love to read your comments. Thanks!

This was after a losing game, and I think her emotion is written all over her face. Or maybe my Mommy radar is detecting it because I know her well! Look at those eyebrows!
Also, Tracey is hosting a theme picture day, and this week it's "spin." Thursdays I'll try to post a picture in her Thursday Theme. This is along with what I am already doing----Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, hosted by TNChick. AND you know, I have a photo blog, one picture a day, at Project 363. It's really a slice of my life. I'm already almost halfway through the year!

Take the Quiz here!
I found this quiz on Grace and Hope, a blog I happened upon for the first time today.
Now I need to go read the novel with this character----Sense and Sensibility. It was already on "the list." :-)
