March 8, 2012 - Snow Storms

Another weekend, another snow storm. This is getting to be a rather bad habit! Maybe we can make a deal with winter and have these past two weekend snows count as our boys and /or girls WIAA basketball finals snow storm. Those state tournaments are scheduled for the 15th, 16th, and 17th and the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of March. Since everything weather-wise and bird-migration-wise seems to be a couple of weeks ahead or "normal", I think a good case can be made that those two storms count and that's it until late next Fall. Of course, what I think doesn't usually count for all that much. Our annual community read during the month of February (DeForest Reads 'Til Pigs Fly) has ended. We are already in search for our next phrase and you can help! We have already had DeForest "go to the dogs" and "let the cat out of the bag", and we have read "until the cows come home" and "'til pigs fly. If you can think of a phrase that lends itself to a theme/ characters that might be found in literature and that isn't risqué or scatological, please let us know. We have a lot of new Spring titles arriving almost daily. Cast your eyes down the page and I'm sure you'll find something to inform or entertain you. Enjoy!
