Flat Stanley Curriculum

Check out this link for a cool Flat Stanley curriculum lesson plan. If you homeschool or your kid didn't get to experience Flat Stanley around 2nd grade, check it out. It's something you can do even if you don't homeschool ... you get to make a Stanley and then mail him to someone, who will mail him somewhere else or back to you, will take him places and take pictures of him to email to you or print out for you. You can make a scrapbook or a blog about Flat Stanley. It's a neat unit study! Enjoy!

Lego Teardrop Shape: Can It Be Done?!

Yep, it can be done! Check out this link for other cool shapes you can make with LEGOs. By the way, don't you love when your kids snap a picture that's great except for that you look like an all-out goober in the background? Ah, the sacrifices we make for our kids!

"Lemonade Stand Learning" ... get the kids outside!

Check out my article "Lemonade Stand Learning" in the July/August issue of On the Coast Magazine in Florida. Just scroll down and click on the magazine to view the digital edition. My article might make you want to send the kids outside for an end-of-summer, before back-to-school lemonade stand! Maybe the kids can make money for their own school supplies! Nah, that would be akin to child abuse these days, so you didn't hear it from me!

Idiot-Sized Daisy Sour Cream

This post goes out to my cousin Kyle. Once we were on a family vacation, and we were having tacos. It was someone's job to bring sour cream. That person brought a huge container, because we were feeding like 25 people. My cousin Kyle, just a teenager at the time, goes, "Who brought the idiot-sized sour cream?!?!" Well, folks, you guessed right if you said that the people who brought the sour cream were .... (drum roll, please) ... OUR GRANDPARENTS. We have never stopped giving him crap over that one!
