Sneaky

Like putting zucchini

in brownies...

having James bike to the corner

store for some bread...

asking both boys to practice

their BMX skills.

I single-handedly made the brownies

healthier, snuck in exercise...

and grabbed a little alone time!

It doesn't end there.

The refrigerator has become

home to my

word-a-day venture.

Deceptively easy words when considering

their multiple meanings.

Take marrow: noun. 1: The soft fatty tissue in the interior of bones.

2. The inmost, best, essential part.

3. Any of various squashes in green or creamy-white colors.

(I didn't know that!)

4. A helper, co-worker, friend or spouse.

So...I read "my" new word aloud...

recite the meanings...

give examples...

(saving etymology for the official school year)

and use the word throughout the day.

It's gotten comical

with Joey intentionally (I hope)

mixing their respective meanings...

i.e., "you're giving me a corolla!"

All from the comfort of the computer.

Using wordsmith.org

with its weekly themes.

This week...words with more than one meaning.

Just getting the ball rolling...

getting our feet wet...

because

the early bird catches the worm...you know.
