DeAnne at First Grade and Fabulous and Jessica at Apples and Paper nominated us with the Versatile Blogger Award! Big, big thanks! I promise I will respond to the award here in a few days. Maybe I'll even get Steve to write the post! 

Major Award

Mr. Parker: It's a Major Award!
Swede: Shucks, I wouldn't know that. It looks like a lamp.
Mr. Parker: What is a lamp? It's a Major Award. I won it!


Why do Steve and I feel like we've won a Major Award? Well, because we just did! Mrs. McKown from Little Literacy Learners just gave our blog it's very first award...The Sunshine Award!
