The New Rage in Fifth Grade: Chuck Norris jokes...





Chuck Norris doesn't get frost-bite...he bites frost.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup - doesn't push him self up - he pushes the Earth down.

Chuck Norris CAN believe it's not butter.

When Chuck Norris falls into water, he doesn't get wet - the water gets Chuck Norris'd.

Some people wear Superman pj's but Superman wears Chuck Norris pj's.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep - he waits.

It takes Chuck Norris twenty minutes to watch 60 Minutes.

- more to come!

Jane

Holiday Concert at Putnam School of Science

This was taken at Jane's school holiday concert. They were singing Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and were really getting into it! For some reason I couldn't meter this photo properly to fix the light in the school gym. [sorry it's so dark!]


Taken before leaving for school on Friday morning - check out the cool mountain woman coat and boots!


And, this is what she wore under her mountain woman attire for her holiday concert. She was very sparkly!

It's beginning to smell like snow!

Something strange happens to the trees here when it snows. Because the sun is usually full in the sky by 10am - they form an ice glaze if it snows the night before. The effect is breathtaking!




Not a lot of snow, mind you - just enough to remind us that it's winter and it will be cold on some days. It's really a nice way to spend the winter months.
And, then usually by noon it's all gone!

Man, This Kid's Going To Have Some Autograph Book...




We just returned home from the first presentation in a series of monthly high profile speakers. That's right. Jane is with Morgan Spurlock in this photo. She was enthralled. Absolutely enthralled. After his presentation, we hosted a Meet the Speaker reception. She patiently waited to have him sign her program but was speechless when it was finally her turn. So, she did what any self-respecting Bennis does - she cracked him up!

Not a bad brush with greatness when you're ten!
