Adding Some Flair to Your Snowman

ADD PIZZAZZ TO YOUR SNOWMAN THIS WINTER!

Do whatever you want, give him your shoe and make it a hat for him. Find a RADICAL plant and stick it on his head. Give him your coat. (Watch out you'll freeze to death!) Stick a green bean where his nose should be. (Carrots are so overrated.) Finally give your snowman a cool name.

Making a Word Trendy

Want to make a word trendy?
Get others to use the word until it catches on. For instance, if you like the word boisterous ( which means to be loud), tell people "quiet down you're being too boisterous." Call people boisterous instead of loud. Be committed, and you'll start hearing that word in the halls!

Getting a Toddler to Do What You Want Her to Do

Give the toddler two choices that lead to the same result. "Joy, do you want to eat your pancakes with your fingers or with your fork?" Either way, Joy is eating her breakfast.

The Fuzzy Birds

I see a bird in the sky
And know something ain't right
Is fuzzy and puffy like my short curly hair
Then I notice something else
It's pink and orange and red
Who has ever seen such a sight?

Behind that Fuzzy bird I see 
Twenty more and jump
To the clouds in the air
Then guess what...
Guess what they do...
They fly right into my hair!

Those dirty little butts
How rude!
How terrible!
How disgusting a theme

So I looked at those stinky birds
And gave them a piece of my mind
I took out my slingshot
And I hit them in the eye

One by one they fell down
Fuzzy birds galore
I did what I had to do
Not so fuzzy anymore

Partly Cloudy Short Film: Link

There is an adorably emotional short film called Partly Cloudy. It's so sad cause he makes things people don't want and Everyone else makes puppies and babies, and the other cloud makes sharks and alligators.

The Snowman With No Nose

Once on a cold and snowy winter, there was a snowman who lost his nose in the blizzard. He was determined to go to the supermarket the next day and find a new nose because he certainly couldn't go around NOSE-LESS!

The next day as he went to the fruit section he came upon a cherry. He put it on his icy face, took out his mirror and...
Decided that this nose was much too small and red. People will think I have a cold. He thought. So he plucked off the cherry and put it back with the others when he stumbled upon a pineapple. Ooooh what an interesting fruit! He thought.

The snowman picked up the pineapple and pounded it to his face. Suddenly he felt himself start to tip over when he came crashing down on marble-looking tile. "LIFE ALERT! LIFE ALERT!" he shouted, but no one could hear him because his mouth was made of coal. So he picked himself up ball by ball and took the pineapple off his face. " Okay," He said. "Onto plan B."

All of a sudden he saw a glimmer of orange. He ran over to that beautiful sparkle. "Yes!" he said. "Just what I was looking for all along! I didn't need a little red thing or a big ol' yellow thing. I just needed this...CARROT!" He delicately fingered the carrot as if it were about to break into a billion pieces. "I have found the one!" he said and went to checkout to pay $2.99 for his new, lovely, and STUNNING nose. " Now," he said " All I need is a hat."
