A styrofoam cooler was delivered on my doorstep yesterday filled with a dozen pints of ice cream straight from Cincinnati. I know. I know. Do you need ANY more proof that I am insane? Yeah, so when I found out that Loren Long painted the famous hippo, Fiona, for one of the pints of Graeter's ice cream I just went a little crazy.
Shhh...don't tell anyone but Loren and I filmed a short bit for the morning announcements right after the box arrived and since it was "morning" I ate the Chunky Chunky Hippo for breakfast. Super Yummy. I can't wait to try Loren's favorite, Black Raspberry Chip.
What else is there to say? Sigh. I wish Loren could come to Castleton IRL but this will definitely do for now. Grade level choice boards are posted and kids have the opportunity to draw trees, visit a local farm, watch read alouds, create music, problem solve a hole in the log, run around a tractor, and so much more!
We'll conclude the day with a visit by Loren himself. Yay! Fingers crossed technology cooperates and all goes according to the best laid plans. A huge thank you to Loren for putting up with all my craziness. Just think--most visitors only have to put up with me once. He will have to twice! How can I make it up to him? A styrofoam box on his doorstep, to start?
And if all goes well, I will look forward to a celebratory pint (no shortage of those in my freezer). Ice cream for breakfast and dinner? Most definitely!
Do six impossible things before breakfast and eating ice cream for breakfast sounds awesome. I hope it's a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteBlack raspberry chip is good, but the BEST is chocolate chocolate chip with raspberry sauce. I attended the University of Cincinnati, and my daughter just graduated from there, so we are well verse in Graeter's offerings. Sounds like you had a lot of fun with your event.
