It might be another drizzly day out there – but let’s not forget to keep of spirits up!  I’m off to New Bedford again this morning (I’m spending all week there telling my stories at various schools) and I will keep in mind what my old Camp Counselors used to say on rainy days like this.  That it’s not rain – it’s liquid sunshine!  Don’t let it stop you from having some fun!

 

1 – Trick or Treating, getting free candy again. 🙂

2 – Playing Hide and Seek, I love that game!

3 – Reading Hulk comics with her before her bedtime,

4 – Eating Oreos, best cookie in the world!

5 – Watching her play soccer

6 – Taking her to the beach to look for seashells

7 – Skipping rocks

8 – Searching for turtles at the duck pond

9 – Teaching her to ride a bike

10 – Buying and decorating pumpkins with her

 

Yes, Oxford is quite the drive – but after driving to Groton on Monday, Oxford seemed like nothing!  So, there was a generous group of children to hear the tales that beautiful Tuesday morning and I am happy to say – they were such a great group!  I had Charlie and Edgar come out to tell “Lost Bone” and, as always, had a wild time singing and dancing to “The Button Factory”.  I would take a 2 hour ride everyday if the audience was like this group of excited kids!

 

After I finished with my Kindregarten show today the teacher asked the class if they liked the show.  One of the kids responded with:

“Like it!  I wanna marry it!”

 So, I guess he liked it…

I figure that this question may pop up in the near future with my daughter being born in less than 2 months.  I still have a few years to skirt around the issue – but when it does come up I’ll use this handy little children’s book!  A humorous and wonderful look at the follically challenged.  I am not alone in this, I know, but it’s always good to have a guide to go to when asked the harder questions that children ask – like, for instance, “Daddy, how come you have no hair?”
