Is this what it has come to?

“The House first tried to defund ObamaCare. Then, it tried to delay the whole law and then just the individual mandate. In the final hours before the midnight deadline, the House ended with a simple proposal. It would agree to fund the government, if the Senate agreed to scrap the special subsidies lawmakers and staff […]

S is for Sunshine … Spiders … and Stars

Letter S up this week @ preschool. We made sunshines. Played in the sunshine: swings, slides, soccer. Glued Sprinkles to letter S. Had Snack in the sunshine. Learned Oh Mr. Sun song! Today Tru had so much fun @ the Condie’s. This is my favorite. Spider Hat! Awesomeness!

Tru loves to sleep with something that glows. Flashlights are way to expensive […]

Granny & Gramps
