A Is For... Absolutely Nothing

So we officially failed our first daycare homework assignment. I got a note in Ashton's box when I picked him up yesterday requesting that all parents cut out pictures in magazines that begin with the letter A and bring them in for projects the kids are doing this week. FUN! FUN! We can absolutely do that! But no no, nothing that readily appears in a magazine actually begins with the letter A. Seriously - take a gander at your mags in the morning, the letter A is nowhere to be found. At first I thought we'd have no problem finding an apple or an airplane, but after an hour of combing literally every mag in the house (and I admit we subscribe to a few...) all we could come up with was a picture of Lance "A"rmstrong, some plumbs that we passed off as "A"pples, and a teeny tiny photo of an "A"larm clock thanks to the fall issue of Pottery Barn. Needless to say I was on the receiving end of a rather stern look from his teacher when I picked him up this afternoon as if to say, "seriously, this is the BEST you could do?"

Yup. We'll do better next time. Promise.
