MONDAY LOVE

em jay loves:

this song:

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

probably because she has been into saying "bless you!" whenever someone sneezes.  we have a dvd of snuffy from sesame street singing it, and she wants to watch it a million times a day--just that part.

she also loves drawing apples... notice the little stem she adds to it:

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others…for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

seen here, and here
