A couple quickies from today....
1) I had to laugh today as I switched my calendar over to November. I noticed that tomorrow is Election Day in the US, and Day of the Dead in Mexico. Ah, irony! I posted this on facebook and one of my friends asked if I was for real; rest assured that I'm not nearly creative enough to associate the two on my own, so yes... it is for real!

2) My son is more perceptive than I give him credit for. We were playing a game today that was sorta-fun-sorta-educational. We were flipping a quarter onto a flat map of the world, and wherever it landed we talked about that country. (Except for the US, because as he put it, "We already know about the United States. That's boring.") Anyway, his class at school is going over basics of money as well. Since we were using a quarter for our game at home, he says to me, "So, Mom....this coin with a vulture on the back...it's a quarter, right?" I didn't correct him on the animal; I think he's more right than he knows.
