Punky Parties: Weird Wacky Wednesday 9.8.10

Here we are again...Weird Wacky Wednesday. So this Wednesday is extra Wacky because we have been getting all this rain. In spirit of this down pour I thought it would be fun to post some things dealing with UMBRELLAS.

Quick little story to set the mood though. When I was in Kindergarten I had the best teacher...no really I did! She was so creative and kind and she never laughed at me when I said that I wanted to be a MOMMY when I grow up. Well she came up with a creative idea for us to really learn our alphabet. We had an alphabet circus parade! I will never forget it...we marched through the classroom, the library, the cafeteria...it was such a shining moment for ME!..heehehe...Each child had to pull a letter out of the hat and that would be the letter they morphed into....so I stepped up, super excited by the way, and pulled my glorious letter out and ta da...it was "U"! I remember being so disappointed and upset because I couldn't think of what to do right away. So I took my awesome letter home and explained to my mom that I must become a "U" and how I was going to be the suckiest letter in the WORLD! Well Daisy (my beautiful mom) she never lets me down, NEVER. She began working on my "U" and she made me this beautiful "U" like poncho...hard to explain...it was really nice and I put it on...it was Giant because I was so small and then she said...there you go! I was like...ummm seriously....and I cried like my little Katalina does when things aren't up to par. My mom laughed and said wait a minute, I have something else for you and she pulled out the most beautiful parasol umbrella I had ever seen. It was pink with lace and it was just my size. She told me that I was going to be the most beautiful Umbrella in the World. I marched that day, pumping my umbrella up and down, up and down, with SO MUCH PRIDE! It is something I will never forget...my mom always came to my rescue when times were cloudy and rainy...literally! The letter "U" has crept back in my life recently! The letter "U" is pretty significant in my life...well it truly is! About 2 years ago my husband and I named our Youth Group at Church the "U"...the U within Jesus, the U within Triumph...funny how God works huh! So for this WEIRD, WACKY WEDNESDAY I say bring on the rain and just give me an umbrella.
