DID YOU KNOW, tonight we have a SUPER MOON?  Tonights SUPER MOON is called the.............

Flower Moon
As temperatures continue to warm up and more plants grow, May’s full moon is named after all the flowers that bloom during this month.

 

So make sure you take a look outside tonight to see the beautiful super flower moon!

 

It will not look like this picture below....haha.   

This is a picture from a famous French movie, "Le Voyage dans La Lune" (A Trip to the Moon in English).  This movie was made in 1902 in Paris.  Thats over 100 years ago!  There was no sound!  Only music which was played in the theater where people went to watch.  In it, a group of people take a journey to the moon and crash right into the moon's eye!  I think the moon looks like a big round piece of cheese!!

How many wacky things can you find in the picture below?

Well today is a bit of a dreary day! Its gray out and cold.  Doesn't feel like spring at all.  This makes me feel like checking out places which are warm and more spring like.  SOOOOOOOO......I decided to take a virtual trip to the San Diego Zoo.  San Diego is in southern California.  It is warm there almost all the time.   Check out the live Ape Cam on the link below.  You can watch a live stream of the apes all day.  There is even a new baby!

Check out the rest of the Zoo's page.  There are many wonderful animals and live cams to see.  Maybe you will decide you want to visit one day!

Hi!  How is everyone today?  It is Cinco De Mayo! 

Fun facts:    DID YOU KNOW.....????

 

1. Cinco De Mayo means the fifth of May in Spanish

2. This holiday is celebrating a victory of the Mexican army over the French army which occurred on May 5, 1862.

3. Cinco de Mayo is not a national holiday in Mexico.

4. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo is actually more popular in the United States than it is in Mexico. More and larger celebrations take place in the US.

5.  Each year, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with parties, festivals, races, parades, family gatherings, food, dancing, concerts, speeches, battle reenactments, and more. The biggest party in all of Mexico happens in the city of Puebla.

6. Popular dishes to eat on Cinco de Mayo include things like guacamole, mole, tortillas, salsa, rice, and even special drinks.

 

Will you be celebrating Cinco De Mayo in any way?  My kids and I will be eating burritos and quesadillas!  We do it every year on Cinco de Mayo!

National Raisin Day !!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you like raisins?  I do not care for them, but I do like raisin toast!

 

How is everyone doing today?  I hope you've gotten a chance to get outside before the rain comes.  I took my dog, Maggie, for a walk this morning and will do so again before the rain.  It is quite a blustery day today!  Do you know  what the word, blustery means?  If it is blustery outside it means we are experiencing sudden, strong gusts of wind.  

When I hear the word blustery I always think of the story of "Winne the Pooh and the Blustery Day" by A.A. Milne, which is one of my favorites.

Good morning!  Today is "Thoughtful" Thursday.  And yes, this is another thing I learned about from our very own Miss Lamont.  As you go through the day today, I want you to think about some ways you can be thoughtful.  Perhaps you can help a family member clean up a mess.  Maybe you could read a book to a brother or sister or a pet.  Or maybe you can make a card or draw a picture for someone who needs cheering up.  How will you be thoughtful today?

On thoughtful Thursday I've had many thoughts.  I'm thinking about my niece Maddie, who turns 17 today!  I'm also thinking about one of my best friends, Mandie who I've known since Kindergarten.  Thats a looonnnngggg time!  Today is her birthday.

I've also been thinking about my pets and how special they are in my family's life.  You all know about our guinea pigs, but we also have 2 dogs, Maggie and Jasper.

 

Jasper is the white dog on the left and Maggie is the brown dog on the right.  We love them.

 

How many of you have pets or would like one, someday?  With love and care, pets can be a wonderful part of our family!

 

 

Joke of the Day:

Q: What did the plate say to the fork?

A: Lunch is on me!   lololololol

 

Riddle of the Day:

I am a ball that can be rolled, but never bounced or thrown. What am I?  Check back for answer tomorrow!

 

Question of the Day:

Would you rather jump into a pool of pudding or a pool of spaghetti?

I guess you can see what Munchkin would do!
