Wacky Wednesday

I was almost going to make Wednesday's theme Who Wednesday for Horton Hears a Who because that is such a good, heart warming story. However, my kids are still very young and are going to get a kick out of waking up to a Wacky House! If you have read Wacky Wednesday, you know things are backwards, upside down and all mixed up. There's even a tree growing out of a toilet. Prepare to get silly!


Some things you can do at home are turn the clocks and pictures upside down; Hang a shoe on the wall; Extra points if you have one with wings from the ceiling! Did you notice the umbrella in the pot from the story? Just make things as silly and mixed up as possible. Have the kids run around and count all the wacky things!


If you don't have the book, a read aloud is included below, and you if you want to purchase the book from Amazon click here.




Dress Up: Mix and Match your Clothes.

Let your kids pick out their own silly clothes. They can wear mismatched clothes with some inside out and backwards, and all different colors. Have fun with some silly hairstyles and let your imagination roam free.


Treat: Dessert for Breakfast - Breakfast Popsicles

So, this is kind of a tricky thing I do because the kids think they are getting something they would usually have as a treat but its just fruit and yogurt that I would give them for breakfast anyway- but in frozen form. Either way, they love it! I call them breakfast popsicles - just because I let the kids have them in the morning. I usually only do it in the summer. But a cold treat in the winter for breakfast seems just silly enough for Wacky Wednesday.


Normally, my go-to for breakfast popsicles is my acai kiwi concoction, but I will save that for summer. A great idea for Dr. Seuss week is to create a layered look like the famous Cat's Hat. For this, all you have to do is layer macerated organic strawberries and some low sugar organic vanilla yogurt into a popsicle mold. Freeze over night if possible. If you don't have a mold, click here. A plastic cup with a popsicle stick would also work.





Craft: Create a silly monster.

Wacky Wednesday is all about being creative and silly. For this don't give your kids any preconceived notions about what it should look like. So often kids get instructions on how to create art. Today, give them a paper plate for a face, a variety of materials and let them go wild. These are my family's creations.





HAVE A WACKY WEDNESDAY!

The Belmont Stakes are this weekend, and what better way link to prepare than by watching an unsettling, utterly dark, thriller? In this high-stakes film, Louis Bloom rides around Los link Angeles in a red (with black racing stripes) Dodge link Challenger SRT8 with 800 horsepower. High-stakes...Belmont Stakes...Horsepower...horse racing – okay it's a stretch. But it's a cool movie, with a cool watch.

Given that the link recent link trajectory of the Laureato has been towards increasingly complicated and haute horology executions like the Absolute Rock and the Absolute Light, it's encouraging to see Girard-Perregaux continue to operate at the steely core of the Laureato, even if we're admittedly still talking about a $13,200 watch. link Anyone else feel like onyx is an underplayed move these days? Or just me?

Well, Cartier has hit the rewind button back to the link '80s with the release of these new colorful Tank Must watches. Unlike the vermeil versions, these watches link are cased entirely in stainless steel – link though they still house a quartz-powered movement.

Shelby knew that the 1959 race was the high point of his racing career, and the day he received the Patek Philippe for winning the 24 link Hours of Le Mans set the link stage for the next chapter of his life. In 1961, he opened the Shelby School of High Performance Driving at the Riverside Track in Southern link California.

The OPs received a substantial upgrade to its bracelet link technology across the board. In the past, the OP bracelet represented the minimum that Rolex could offer. Picking one link up felt akin to holding a vintage or neo-vintage model – link which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. It just didn’t have that new-watch heft.
