Bendaroos da bomb

We got introduced to sticky wicks at P.F. Changs, under the brand Wiki Stix. Well, they're also sold as Bendaroos, and Theo has been playing with his set a lot.

The First Cartoon

We found this on the chalkboard this morning.



The dialog is:

Theo: Ha I win
Mummy: Man you win
Ruby: [singing] mo

The kids have a Reading Rainbow DVD with a segment on the Egyptian mummies. Theo especially loves watching it, and apparently has fantasies of defeating a mummy. Ruby's is apparently dyslexic, but at least she's been studying the Scrabble dictionary with comprehension. Her commentary on the unfolding drama is well beyond her years--"om" is "a mantra used in contemplation of the ultimate reality." That, or she's secretly an Udnih (a dyslexic Hindu).

Either way, it's good to see that their multicultural sensitivities are firmly established.

The "Call Julia" note was yesterday's reminder from Theo to set up a play date with his friend in Kindergarten. He's been pining for her all spring break.

Theo sings Painting by Chagall

Painting By Chagall by The Weepies

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You’re the moon, I’m the water
You’re Mars, calling up Neptune’s daughter

Sometimes rain that’s needed falls
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.

I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster

Everybody says “you can’t, you can't, you can't, don’t try.”
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they’d fly like we do.
