And we live in a freaking shoe, folks

Normally, Reese comes home with something cutesy and fun and artsy-craftsy each time she goes to preschool. I wouldn't be surprised if we get get another snowman or heart to add to our collection before the end of winter. However, here is today's craft:

In case you can't read it, the title is "Happy Endings" (problematic from the get-go), and then it goes on to say:

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor dog a bone;
But when she came there..
the cupboard was not bare... (exciting twist!)
she found a potato
and ice cream.

Hunh?
If you look closely, you can see the sad little potato and ice cream stickers. Sheesh, the teachers are probably worried about little R's sustenance at home. Or at least wary of what we feed her. And now I feel like I need to take these in as proof that we do in fact have food--lots of it, and healthy stuff to boot:


Nary a potato nor an ice cream in sight, may I add.

In other news, we went to San Francisco for the most whirlwind two day trip ever! We seemed to be going at break-neck speed the entire time, which may (??) explain why I only took these amazing shots.
Reese and Daddy, sitting there watching TV in the room. Okay, not break-neck the entire time. You can definitely tell these two are related.

We went to a couple of aquariums. Here's the one at Fisherman's Wharf--Reese was back and forth on wanting to touch the shark. She's say she wanted to, then someone would come over to help her reach it and it was immediate denial.

Luckily, Daddy didn't waver.

And that concludes the San Francisco photographs. I'm serious. Those are the only ones I took. Score: F on that one. But to be fair, we really were running all over town to cram in as much as possible because that is what makes a truly enjoyable, quality vacation, right? Also, it was mainly pouring buckets and buckets of freezing cold rain. Have I mentioned that I'm ready for spring yet??

I am completely stumped on the "happy endings" title?? And, I must say that the whole project is a bit skewed if they're offering ice cream and potato stickers to use. :) But the need for you to justify makes me think of that email forward where the mom has to explain to the teacher after viewing her child's work that she is not, in fact, an exotic dancer, merely works at Home Depot. . . LOL! Have you seen it?!
