"And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street"
There is this great Dr. Seuess book about a boy who walks to school everyday down Mulberry Street. All he ever encounters are normal things and he wants to see extraordinary things so he can have a good story for his dad when he gets home. So the book is made up of this boy's imaginative exaggeration of the normal. Great things that all build upon each other to end with a grand parade. The boy finally realizes all the exaggeration is too unbelievable and decides to just tell his dad what he really saw on the way home-the normal, everyday stuff. That's what we are sharing in this blog, so we thought Mulberry Street a fitting name. We sometimes feel no one wants to hear about our everyday lives, but hopefully you do. Enjoy!
I am a kindergarten teacher and at eastwood, where my husband, David, also teaches upper school Latin. We also direct the annual Spring Musical at Eastwood. We are busy to say the least, but have a lot of fun!
We began the day with presents and a candle in the eggy-bread! William got a binder and copy paper (for his many drawings) and a digital camera. For months now William has been grabbing our phones and taking as many pictures as possible of as many things as he could find. So we decided it was time to get him a cheap real camera so he could even print off what he takes. Needless to say, he was so excited. Of course, Lily and Joseph were ready to party, even early in the morning! Mom checking out the new camera. When Grammy and Pop got here they gave William a balloon and told him they had something in the car to help hold it down. When he looked in the van, he found a new bike. Now you might recall that we gave him a bike last year for his birthday. We got him a huge bike that cannot have training wheels, so this year we thought it would be a good idea to back up and get him the right bike. Grammy and Pop git him a nice orange and blue bike. William wanted a soldier cake made of gluten free brownies and icing, so he got it! Mimi and PaPa also came to the party and gave William a Spy Copter. William LOVED "flying" it around the house and taking video. We ended the day with a cheese sandwich supper, a candle, and a carved pumpkin with a soldier on it.
