I hope you're enjoying a lovely President's Day weekend. Bee brought this log cabin home from preschool last week and proceeded to dazzle us with her knowledge of Abraham Lincoln. Not bad for a four year old...
"This is Abraham Lincoln's house. He wears a big black hat and he's really really tall. He was very poor when he was little, so he lived in a house made of pretzels. Then he died. But he never ever told a lie, so they put his picture on the penny."
Awesome.

Love it! That made me laugh :) so great! we have tried to keep track of our girls' (and others') funny sayings... feel free to stop by our blog for the 'Overheard' section. thanks so much for sharing your daughter's funniness!
I'm so fond of these elementary school memories! I remember building log homes out of thick pretzel rods and peanut butter! At least you can keep this one for a while longer!
My four-year-old made the same picture at her preschool last week! I didn't even think to ask her if she knew anything about it.
what a great little project. Maybe next year we'll do this.
Out of the mouths of babes...
I LOVE that he lived in a house of pretzels :)
