Thoughts On Kindergarden

The lessons from kindergarten that some of us seem to forget: Be a friend to everyone, chew with your mouth closed, don't interrupt, don't hit, don't judge, and finally, it's Valentine's not Valentines. Some of the most important life skills are woven through these lessons. If everyone had to take a course right before they graduated collage on kindergarten values the world would be quite a better place. Those are my thoughts..................yours???

Days of the Weekend

Finally, on Monday it is...............Bubble wrap appreciation day(waahooooooooooo*pop*) I am going to eat some grapes now. Bye

( rainbows included ) Just follow the step by step explanations and diagrams and before you know it, you have a one-of-a-kind creation that is wonderful!  You need:  6 clothes hangers  Some sort of tape (duct tape works best )  P.S my Momma bought me tape for Hanukkah because I used hers to much :) 6 magazines for your finished product and of course a wacky smile such as above Now that you've got all of your supplies, it is time for the fun stuff!  Step 1. on your work surface lay two hangers down such as this and tape the parts where they connect  Step 2. continue this until you've connected 6. It should look like so when finished Step 3. Test your hangers to see i
