When I was a kid, the rumor was that the school district superintendent would decide to have a snow day based on how fast his dog came back to the door when he was let out for his morning constitutional.

My Mexican Kids
Vanessa published a post yesterday on Busted Halo about her Mexican culture and some difficulties she is having in exposing the girls to it.
