May I present The Zilker Elementary Custodians!

These 3 fine people are the the custodians of Zilker Elementary School. THE Zilker of 78704 fame. Yep, the elementary school where they teach 'em to keep it weird from the pledge right on through 'til specials at the end of the day.

At the urging of my dear pal, Bernadette Noll of www.slowfamilyliving.com fame, I have started a project of photographing all of the adults at Zilker Elementary who spend their days working hard so our whippersnappers can have a positive soul enriching (and clean) educational experience from ages 5-10.





Now, don't you just wanna learn to pick up after yourself so they don't have to?!

The Coolest Lunch Box Ever!

Ok so its 'back to school' time and my seven year old and I got WAY into the idea of making her something to carry her lunch to school. Actually she wanted something new and I am doing my best to teach her that getting more stuff/spending money is not the way to save the world or feel really good about yourself. I had some silver insulation that I found in the trash at Home Depot and some especially groovy plastic bags that I had been collecting and we came up with this. We are sooo proud of ourselves AND its reversible!
