Weekend days with no schedules and an endless amount of fun to be had has put us all in a good mood. Today we read one of my top ten favorites of 2012:

How Do You Feel?

Two posts in one day, imagine that! Well we are still snowed in.

Evan has had a rough morning. He didn't want to clean up, he didn't want to eat his lunch, and he didn't want to take a nap. I couldn't have found a better choice for today's story:
