Thinking ahead

The kids started back to school today, and I'm in full-fledged planning mode. We're looking forward to getting into a routine again. Here's a look at the week ahead:

We have company coming for supper tonight and company coming for lunch tomorrow. Since Epiphany falls on a Sunday (the busiest day of the week for our family), we will be celebrating tomorrow by making our Three Kings Cake and watching "Amahl and the Night Visitors" starring Daddy (at age 12) as Amahl.

Thursday, January 10, is the anniversary of the plastic ducky fleet sailing the Pacific Ocean. So we'll read Eric Carle's book "10 Little Rubber Ducks" and check out ducky alerts.

Our books for January will all be snow-themed (see side bar) and we'll create "Snowball Treats" while we try to imagine what it would be like to live in St. Paul with Aunt Melissa who actually gets snow.

We might even try a taffy pull if we get brave!
