Happy Friday!!!
Today was R Day, for Rocks Day! It was also a half day for Teacher Appreciation Week, so I was really scrambling to fit in some kind of rock activity into our super short day!
I decided to take the kids for a walk around the neighborhood in the hope that they could each find a rock to bring back to school. Some brought back 50. Some brought back 0. In the end, we each had a rock to clean and call our own.
I meant to have the kids paint and decorate the rock babies, a la Reagan, but we really only had time to glue on googly eyes. However, this TOTALLY made their day.

They cradled their babies, they took them to lunch, and they read to them even when it wasn't sanctioned independent reading time! Note to self - study rocks next year!
I keep forgetting that I, like everyone else, was nominated for Most Fascinating Blog of 2012, haha. It was because of my Threaded Commenting post!
I guess I've really hit the big time now, haha!!
Have a good weekend!
I LOVE the rock in a sling! It's crazy how googly eyes make inanimate objects come to like! So cute! :)

Those rock babies are precious. I like them without the paint. They are river rocks right? Or just someone's fancy rocks from the neighborhood?! :) I LOVE their cute little eyes! I like the smiling one too. Best personality I have ever seen on a rock!
