First Santa Pictures of the Year
Nov 29th, 2008 by Lou

We went to WalMart today and got our pictures with Santa.  Kaylee would not sit on that strange man’s lap.

Ella, Of Course
Nov 28th, 2008 by Lou

I thought I would try to do some children’s literature books that I love on Friday.   I can’t read a novel very fast but I go through about 10 children’s books a week between my students and kids.  Here is one of my favorites.

This is the latest book that I bought for Kaylee.    Ella, Of Course by Sarah Weeks is about a pig that is a great problem solver (much like my Kaylee).  Ella finds a way to help everyone, until one day she begins to cause the problems.    I would say this would be a must in any children’s literature libraries.

I had a chance to meet Sarah Weeks this week at a Reading Conference in Little Rock.  Sarah has such a great spirit.  She is a Mac person and will tell you that.  (I threw that plug in for Michael and Jeff.)  While I met with her, I got her to sign the book for Kaylee.

All About Me
Nov 26th, 2008 by Lou

Got this Information Questionnaire from Shelley.

Here goes.

1.  Number of pets you have adopted or rescued over your lifetime: Too many to name, if you count childhood.  I saved cats, dogs, birds, mice (yes the household mice), Guinna pigs (You name it)

2. Most embarrassing childhood memory: falling down at a dance rectial (I was wearing toe shoes, so I was way up there)
3. Name a quirk: I am a perfectionist.  (too the extreme)

4. Favorite lunch: Pollo fundido and cheese dip at Ameca

5. How you like your coffee: If I drink it, I want it black.  (I usually don’t drink it because it makes me climb the walls, literally.)

6. Name an interesting family “secret”: If it is a secret…then why would I tell you.   I am kind to the legendary Jesse James though.

7. Give us another one: Geez, what is with the secrets.   My Dad wanted to name me after my grandmother, Maudie Bell.  Thank God she stepped in and told him not to do that to a child.  So I settled with Lowery for my middle name (grandmother’s maiden name)

8. Current wish: My Mom and Dad were still living.  I have so much that I want to tell them.

9. What I wanted to be when I grew up: A news broadcaster.  The Jonesboro school shootings stopped that.  I would never be able to interview middle school children shortly after they saw their friends shot and killed.  This is what inspired me to be a teacher.  Shanon Wright, was a teacher there, she stepped in front of a deadly bullet to save a child.  She is my hero.  We need more of them.

10. Most painful medical procedure: Getting my wisdom teeth out.  This was worse than child labor.

11. An insult that has been given to me: You are not good enough to be a mother.  (good thing I don’t take insults serious)

12. Favorite color of clothing: browns and yellow

13. How many trees in your yard? 0 they are on the surrounding properties, but there is a lot of those.

14. If I had 10 million dollars, I would: I would buy a house and give the rest to St. Judes

15. Meanest or craziest thing you’ve ever said: I use to kick boys in the not so nice play when I was in first grade.
