Grass Roots List

In our current bedtime book "The Mysterious Benedict Society" the heroes are advised that it is a good idea to keep a journal when you travel. Here is the journal kept by our family and friends at Grass Roots:

Thursday:
New favorite kind of ice cream- chocolate chip cookie dough

The Make Peace Brothers invite the "Little Make Peace Brothers" on stage to dance. They are all under 4 years old, and some can really boogie.


The WICB guitar is WAY better than the WBVR guitar.

"The Flying Clouds love our music store"

5:00 am "Why do they not shut up?"

Friday:

Amazingly large Strawberry in the hospitality tent (Wuggie insists we document it).



3 middle aged ladies dancing around 1 middle aged guy in a cowboy hat

Tap shoes in the dance tent

"Look Wuggie- a Labyrinth!"
"Cool"


Backstage at New Neighbors in the rain.

American Legion Cheese Fries

Kevin Kinsella invites his daughter on stage to sing with him, but she is still in bed.

"Browbeat" (our favorite MadLibs word)

Bubbles and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

John Brown's Body proclaims "We meet again Grass Roots"


Saturday:

"The American Legion puts on a great dining experience"

"If only there was a pool"

Making a necklace with a stone and a really sharp stick.

Jimkata
Black Castle

Samite has such a smooth groove


Sunday:

One string cello played through trumpet horn and talkbox

Large Intestine Batik

Can we see just one more before we drive away?

Ink Heart

Last night Wuggie and I finally finished reading InkHeart, which we started back in the fall. It think that's the longest one we've ever read!

Like a Bean

Wuggie is growing like a bean. Remember those beans we planted for earth day? Well.....

















Wuggie has grown 1 1/2 inches since JAUNARY! No wonder all his pants don't fit.

They Came Up!

The beans in Wuggie's seed-sprouting kit are sprouting!

Double Sided

Here's Wuggie's recent environmental commentary:

"We should always use both sides of a paper, right?"

"Right"

"And then we should recycle the paper, right?"

"Right"

"But on Post-it notes you can only use one side because of the sticky stuff on the other side."

My eye falls on the array of post-its I have spread out before me organizing my life. He's got me there.

Cabbage Magic

Did you know that purple cabbage juice can be used as a PH tester? We sure know now.

time joke

Here's Wuggie's awesome joke yesterday (Thursday) after school:

Mom: Tomorrow's another half day
Wuggie: Does that mean it will still be Thursday?

It took me a while to get it. I'm a little slow.

This morning I woke him saying:
Time to finish the other half of Thursday.
