Fun With School Lunch

I've been getting creative with cookie cutters for Emmett's lunch.  Here is what went with him in the panda lunchbox today: Polar Bear on a Melting Icecap.  Should be a great talking point for jump starting the conversation about global warming in The Sunshine Room!

Winterfell: In Memoriam

In honor of the release, at long last of the next book in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin, I am posting these pictures I took in France that reminded me immediately of the ruins of Winterfell.  After patiently (not so patiently) waiting for five years, I am so happy to finally have this new book to sink my teeth into.  So if you don't hear from me for a while, don't be alarmed, I have fallen into a Dance With Dragons, and I can't get up.

I know I am totally exposing my nerdiness here, but, well, you were going to find out eventually anyway.  And to those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sorry!  They are really great books though, go buy the first one, and please don't hate me too much after loosing a year of your life reading obsessively! 
Oh, and for those of you who care about reality, these pictures were really taken in a town called Baume-de-Transit. :)
