Coloring Books and Pencil Sharpeners

So my friend bought herself a coloring book and decided to color while she was at my house. So of course I got jealous and had to go buy my own. I was very lucky to find a Handy Manny coloring book that is totally awesome. Today I colored a picture of some pliers named squeeze! Katie and I also had to go on a pencil sharpener quest as well in order to find a quality sharpener. Just a word of warning, the cheap ones really are not what I would define as quality. Once I got through half of my pencil and it still was not sharp I decided that it just did not qualify. So we ventured the whole 3 min. drive to the local staples to continue our search. I ended up buying one of the crank ones that suction to a table. It reminds me of those wonderful days sharpening my money pencils in elementary school. Anyways the pencil sharpener did not prove itself right away, but it works now after some good breaking in. Now I have pencils sharp enough to cause some serious damage. Sorry this is kind of a random post, but I guess its just a random day!!!

Lol--don't run unless your pencils are pointing down! Is that one of the preschool rules? Do they have special preschool pencil sharpeners to make them less sharp & pointy? Enjoy your pencils. Or as Ellie would say, "prencils".
