Once upon a time......I'm beginning tonight's post this way for two reasons.
A. Once Upon A Time.....how did I NOT know about this show?!?!? We're only a few episodes in on Netflix (what would we do without Netflix?), and tell me something. How is it possible to despise the evil queen/mayor as much as I already do? WHAT a HAG! I'm sitting here yelling at the t.v., she makes me SO angry. The kids love it, too. We were dying for Mr. Fantastic to get home tonight so we could watch another episode.
2. In our quasi-move to classical education, I'm beginning to read fairy tales to the Tweebs for our literature section of school. But not the watered down, break into a musical number every five seconds, Disney kind of fairy tales. I'm talking the real deal, Evil Queen eats the heart that the Huntsman brings her (which, at the time, she believes is the heart of Snow White!), Woodcutter slices the wolf's stomach open to find Red Riding Hood inside kind of fairy tale. Some pretty wild stuff, that's for sure.
We are finishing up our unit on China this week. Tonight was a lot of fun....we made eggrolls, crab rangoon and orange chicken. Motormouth finished up his project on an endangered species native to China-the Giant Panda. I'll post pictures as soon as I get a chance.
I wish I had something funny to leave you with tonight, but alas, I'm exhausted and nothing is coming to me. I need to start keeping a list of the funny stuff, I guess.
Until next time......
