Humpty Dumpty

When we picked Adlani up from school today we were talking about what he had learned. He proudly recited his new poem…

“Humpty Dumpty, *fat* on a wall,
He got a great fall…”

He also told me that his friend at school had “strawberry peewee” (kiwi) juice and that he pees in the “journal” (urinal). Aliya was hysterical.

I went to the preschool PTO meeting tonight. It’s shocking to me the amount of fundraising the PTO has to do, and how much begging the teachers have to do. At orientation the teachers asked us to send paper towels, kleenex, and any miscellaneous craft supplies we have cluttering up the house. I don’t think the schools had to beg for basic supplies when I was in school. I clearly remember having plenty of those folded brown paper towels. It looks like my volunteer job with the PTO is going to be to manage the teachers’ wish lists.

Speaking of back when I was in school (aka “the old days”), Aliya recently asked me if I was alive when there were dinosaurs. When I said no she asked, “Well, how about Daddy?”

Big Night Out

Last night Ben asked Naima to babysit and took me out to Legal Sea Foods for my birthday (no, you haven’t entered a time warp). While I was scrambling to get lunches ready with the kids acting up I wasn’t sure it would be worth it, but it was GREAT!! It was so nice to have a quiet, peaceful, and delicious meal. The best part was the SANGRIA. I am committed to recreating it at home, even if I have to sample batch after batch. The other best part was that when we got home at 7:45, the kids were all asleep in their beds!! Yay Naima!

According to the Legal Sea Foods drink menu, the ingredients are:

Spanish Red Wine
Bacardi Limon
Stoli Razberi
Massenez Creme de Peche
Sprite
Fresh Fruit

I guess I need to hit the packie tomorrow! 🙂
