Lorax Mustache

Mommy was pretty excited to pick up a copy of "The Lorax" this week, and Madison was pretty happy to see it when she brought the movie home.  One reason was this swell Lorax Mustache that actually came with the package.  It comes with an elastic band, so you can proudly wear your large yellow mustache around while doing chores, going shopping, and of course, watching "The Lorax."  Note:  you may not want to wear it while eating pasta with tomato sauce.

Today's theme color at school was red, which Madison wore proudly.  Tomorrow is orange, which Mommy is on top of right now.  You could say we watched "The Lorax" in preparation for orange day, right?  Anyway, she's getting her clothes ready the night before, along with setting up things like breakfast.

Tonight, Madison had her first homework!  These were a couple of assignments that we jumped on top of right away:  the first was a challenge to find a bunch of objects that start with the letter "c."  Mommy and Madison found all sorts of things in old coloring books, and activity books too.  They identified these things (such as carrots, cats, and cheese), cut them out and pasted them on a worksheet.  Another activity was the "me" bag.  Daddy printed out Madison's picture (not the one withe the Lorax mustache), and pasted it to the paper bag.  Then, Madison was asked to put four things inside that represented her.  One object was a picture of she and Jack Sparrow.  Another was a Golden Mickey - these were golden Mickey-shaped papers that descended from the ceiling during the Golden Mickey show on the cruise.  We'll have an object in there representing China, of course.  And one more thing which we'll figure out soon enough.  Anyway, there's your first homework assignment:  the first of many for years to come.

"Awww. How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like reality."
