FTRW 2011 – Day Seven – Saturday Snap – Pace writes his name for the first time!

Pace writes his name for the first time, originally uploaded by headtale. This post has nothing to do with censorship but everything with the power of the written word. Even though we’re a librarian and a public heath nurse with a special interest in early childhood development, I’d say we’ve been fairly typical in terms […]

100 Best First Lines and Last Lines From Novels

The 100 Best First Lines The 100 Best Last Lines Part of Pace’s storytime routine is that when we come to the end of a picture book, I say “What do we say when we come to the end of a book?” and then he yells out “THE END!”  So that’s probably my favourite last […]

Five Hits on National Family Literacy Day

It was National Family Literacy Day today and nothing starts your day off like doing the hokey pokey to tie in to this year’s theme of “Play for Literacy’.  Good stuff – I joked with one co-worker that we could do it everyday, sort of the RPL version of the Wal-Mart Cheer.   Another co-worker […]

Saturday Snap – Kid’s Eye View of Regina Airport

Kid’s Eye View of Regina Airport, originally uploaded by headtale. Pace loves taking photos so I occasionally hand him the iPhone and let him at it. Always interesting to see what he decides to take pictures of and the perspective he brings. We took my parents to the airport on Friday afternoon so this is […]

Saturday Snap – The Nerd Is Strong With This One

Saturday Snap – 1988 Computer Specs, originally uploaded by headtale. My mom was cleaning out some papers at home and found the original spec sheet/packing slip for the first computer our family ever bought in 1988 which is when I was in grade nine. It doesn’t have the actual price mom and dad paid but […]

Saturday Snap – Hipstamatic Tinker Toy Frame

Hipstamatic Tinker Toy Frame, originally uploaded by headtale. Technically, not done with the popular Hipstamatic iPhone app but another camera app that’s just added a bunch of filters. Still cool to know what Pace would look like if he’d had his photo taken in the 70’s! (Er, I think Polaroids still exist so maybe that’s […]

And Now I’ll Explode Your Cute-O-Meter…

Usually I’d save a video like this for Music Monday.  But it’s too cute (and going viral too fast!) to save it for next week.    Enjoy!

Going Viral

As I posted on Facebook on New Year’s Day, there was a time when puking all night on New Year’s Eve meant you’d had a “good time”.  But this year, it wasn’t such a good time since Pace caught a flu bug and spent the night in bed between Shea and I, puking into a […]
