I'm a high school teacher. The wacky school food rule changes started a couple years ago. First it was no candy, then any candy that had peanuts or peanut butter was OK but other candy wasn't, then no candy again. Drinks were even more complicated; no sodas but Gatorade was OK, then no Gatorade only milk, juice and water, then no strawberry milk, then strawberry milk was OK again, and now strawberry milk is bad again. Oh, and the juice has to have pulp. I don't know about other schools, but our kids won't drink white milk or orange juice with pulp; they throw it away :(

I got the book and was really happy with it. My daughter (9) has claimed it though and taken it to school with her every day since it showed up in the mail. Sorry to the people who dislike the book . . . we think it is awesome. :)

I give my daughter a disposable camera every time we go on vacation or to the fair. I have been doing it since she was 2. She has a photo album of all the fun things we have done but from her point of view.
