I'm Getting A Banana

I'm getting a Banana!

Well, Bananagrams, to be specific.

I ordered it yesterday, and got an email that it's already shipped!

I'm so excited.

We played a similar game to , years ago, and I kept meaning to get one for us, but never did. And here's the same idea, but in much cuter packaging! And I think the number of tiles will make it great for playing with children ~ not so many as to be overwhelming for younger spellers. I can't wait until it arrives!

Also, I'd like to start a vocabulary word a day ... or week? ... But I am not organized enough to choose my own regularly. And the Doctor Dictionary thing I signed up for is really not quite kid friendly. I want words that will stretch them, but ones that they'd really use, in real life. Words that mean things they already know, but stretch them a little. Any ideas where I can get said words without too much required of me?

In other news, it's the last walking day of the month. The end of my February Stay On Program challenge. Did you try to stay on program with healthy eating and exercise this month? How did you do?

I'll post again tonight, after I exercise - or perhaps tomorrow for the official weigh-and-measure post - on how my month rounded out. I made my walking goal, and then some, and stayed pretty much on program except for one unfortunate plunge into the microwave popcorn the other day. But I chose to bounce back, and I'm glad. I am looking forward to a similar March challenge. Will you be joining me?
