have school and the weather was perfection so we spent the day on a farm a wagon took us to the patch where we picked pumpkins still attached to their vines we bounced in the bounce houses there was funnel cake and pumpkin ice cream and an apple cider slushi and a 3d alien haunted warehouse and a corn and hay bale maze i am certain the great pumpkin would agree that we found the most sincere patch of them all posted by jrs at 10 33 pm no comments labels family fun halloween happiness sunday march 27 2016 easter 2016 posted by jrs at 5 34 pm no comments labels family fun happiness holiday friday october 23 2015 trunk or treat 2015 the pto put on our school s first trunk or treat on this fine october evening for those unfamiliar this is an event where trunks are popped decorated and children travel from car to car to trick or treat a dj pretzels and pizza added to the fun i want to be a fox and a pirate helena declared weeks ago and she stood by her plan i donned a witch s hat alexander was an alien from alien vs predator and sophie went as doc mcstuffins mark arrived after working late and helped us set up our bubble machine he discovered that taking flash photography of bubbles mid flight produces quite the image despite alexander and i having pneumonia and spending a bit of time in the van in front of the heater we were glad to have gone to witness the benefits of inclusion in action sophie was interviewed by the high school tv kids who knew her from summer camp her friends from class came and spirited her away from me for most of the event would this be the case if she remained unknown to them i know in my heart it would not this is why our advocacy promotion of inclusion acceptance and respect do not get sick days we do it for soph and for all of us who happily reside outside of normal my little hamlet posted by jrs at 11 21 pm no comments labels advocacy disability down syndrome halloween happiness inclusion inclusion revolution friday may 29 2015 no pity no charity children with disabilities are amongst the world s most marginalized and excluded children world health organization world bank 2011 i will never give up out here in philly we have formally declared an inclusion r evol ution i am a revolutionist are you inclusionrevolution here are the thoughts of revolutionary educator torrie dunlap at a tedx talk isn t it a pity the real problem with special needs what do we gain when we build a community where everybody belongs what do we gain when we separate kids and what do we lose out on when we do how do we want our children to be regarded as something fragile broken and special or as people who have a right to fully participate in our communities i believe that when we examine our own mental models around disability we will no longer default to pity and charity but instead we will put our efforts into building communities that are accessible to everyone and everyone will benefit inclusionrevolution pass it on posted by jrs at 10 23 pm no comments labels advocacy disability inclusion inclusion revolution sunday may 3 2015 joyous may day 2015 the winter was long and hard and we are limping to the finish line of this school year for thousands of years when spring was in full bloom the people would pause to celebrate the coming of the warm time and changing of the seasons may day or beltane as it is also known begins at sunset and continues through the next day this is a celebration of fertility and life it is a holiday of hope beauty and new beginnings as a child in the usa i have memories of making may day baskets filled with treats we would deliver them to neighbors by ringing their doorbell and then running away so that they would not know who left the goodies i have thought of this every may 1st since becoming a mother and decided this year i would introduce my children to this tradition the screech of the school bus brakes preceded little girl giggles that filled the air like music we celebrated the return of dirty bare feet on soft green grass white paper cups a roll of twine a hole puncher crayons and stickers would be used to create our may day baskets m ms sweet tarts life saver gummies and popcorn were the filling alexander popped in for a moment or two for treats before going off to do his own thing traditionally the people would dance around a pole with ribbons woven in merriment signifying fertility flowers incense feasting and bonfires marked their celebration and ours inspired from a scene in alice in wonderland our mad hatter hat topped the pole which we secured in our umbrella stand wrapped in red scrap fabric it turned out beautifully neighbors shared long forgotten stories of their childhood may day celebrations and i was dubbed the may queen of garrett hill which i quite like our dinner was grilled and we feasted outdoors by candle light the last hours of the day were spent mesmerized by the dancing flame of our back yard mini bonfire and the sweet smell of vanilla incense smoldering on the log the girls fell asleep in the night air only when the last of the embers had died out did their daddy carry them one by one to their beds
