The alphabet

Gillian goes to daycare (we call it school) and this year in the 3 year old classroom she is learning to recognize the alphabet. Every couple of weeks they work on a new letter. They trace the letter and at the end of the week they make a picture of the letter. They started with A. 

Gillian was so proud of her monster A. She showed me and roared. When Daddy saw it he said "I bet they are all muppets. It looks like Animal." Well Daddy was right. Because B looked like Beaker. 

I love the Muppets and I look forward to seeing her creations every few weeks. So far we have Crazy Harry, Fozzie, Gonzo and Sam Eagle. But my favorite was brought home yesterday. 

I told Gillian "This is my favorite letter!" She said "It's Kermit!" I love it. And I love this project that Gillian's teacher is doing. I can't wait to see them all!

Movie critic

After dinner we decided we would have family movie night. John immediately said "Let's pop some popcorn." I guess I didn't jump up quick enough because he said "Mom! Let's get popping!" Daddy gave us a couple of options and we decided on a double feature of Monsters vs Aliens and The Muppets. John's pick was Monsters vs Aliens and Gillian has never seen that movie. So John told her, "It's ok. It's not scary, it's about nice monsters. And aliens. Like the aliens that are our neighbors!" John insists that the neighbors behind us are aliens because they have one room that is painted bright green. When the light is on in that room it glows. He thinks the glow is from the aliens. We only watched half of Monsters vs Aliens. John kept getting scared (yes, you read that right) so we stopped it and put on The Muppets.
