Remember way back when, when kids actually made ornaments to decorate the tree this time of year? In my day, we strung popcorn on thread and made chains of brightly colored paper rings. There were the clay ornaments brought home from school shaped and colored by each child’s hand along with cut-out and colored paper snowflakes and macaroni-and-too-much-glue works of art. Perhaps it is, once again, time to restore crafts and art to das tannenbaum. After seeing this tree, I think I’m sold.

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010
Did you know that today is International Walk to School day (at least, here in the US)? I did. I was made painfully aware of it because my kids’ school makes a big deal out of it and my kids begged me to walk the three-and-a-half miles from our house to their school. Given that they’re only six and eight years old and that I’d have the two-year-old in tow as well, it wasn’t going to happen. There was no way I was going to leave the house an hour or more early just so I could listen to them whining about being tired for the last three miles of the trip. But, as it turns out, we did participate in Walk to School day.
