Home Bound

No school today - it was another snow day and probably another one tomorrow as another storm is headed through tonight.  So it looks like we are home bound for the next few days - h.e.l.p.

I did have a good parenting moment today when we listened to our new favorite book, I Got Two Dogs by John Lithgow.  Who knew that John Lithgow could connect with kids in writing such a fun kids book?  His other one we got from the library, The Remarkable Farkle McBride, is also a good one.  Landon (6) especially likes its challenging words and rhythm.

The best part about I Got Two Dogs is that it comes with a CD that has Lithgow singing the book to a tune.  Super cute.  We had gone to story time at the library yesterday and the children's librarian said it was the most popular kids book in the library!  I must warn you though - it's the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head.  Several times today I have heard Landon singing the chorus of the song.  It's that catchy.  You have been warned.  I even started singing the song to Calvin until I realized how ridiculous I must sound, "it is the funniest kids book.  It goes like this...".  Ha!

If anyone has any super easy crafts that I could put into action for the next 5 days (5 days!), please share.  I have a feeling we will need some reinforcement.  And I can have some more "good mommy" moments.
