who are the people in your neighborhood

Each week, Amara's preschool class has a theme. This week, they concentrated on community helpers.

They wrote thank you notes to our local law enforcement officers.

They learned about construction workers and nurses.

And they role played.

Would you trust this firefighter?



Or how about the tangled up dog walker?


By the way, that's Amara's dog Bruno. How she came up with the name Bruno, I haven't the slightest.

But my poor pet-adoring firefighter is not reading about community helpers today. She's home sick. Par for the course since I'm not yet cleared to return to work.

She has this nasty cold. I'll spare you the details of her boogers' consistency and color. Yes, it's that bad.

But it means we get to snuggle up on the sofa together...miserable.

How about you? Any weekend plans?
