Kelly's Mardi Gras Party

We went to this great Mardi Gras party (at Aunt Kelly's house). Jambalaya, meat pies, king cake, french bread, sodie, crafts and a parade... what more could you need.

U day

The letter of the week at preschool is U. We are always in search of something that no one else will bring. Who wants to bring the sixth bear on B day, the second pen on P day? Who wanted to take a killer bear on K day? On U day we racked our 35yrs (my 30, her 5) of experience for the coolest thing...a unicorn....and a

uterus. We talked a little bit about them last night. We now know when you are pregnant your baby is in your uterus not just your tummy, and definitely not your stomach, that's for food. Your urerus is under your belly button. Grace came to the conclusion that she wanted her unicorn to be in her uterus (so she could surprise them). Granted that did not happen, she said she'd tell her teacher she brought her uterus. I thought she'd forget the word but after school she told me she whispered to her teacher that she brought a unicorn and her uterus. She said her teacher thought she was silly and smiled at her. Thankfully Kate picked her up from school (I waited and watched from the van) and I just got a wave.
