E is for...

Elvis, Emperors, and Egg Rolls! Ilea thought of Elvis, and so we called the kids' Uncle Ken in Texas, who does Elvis acts. He was great! The kids had about 8 questions for Ken, and he was a great sport answering them! They asked about Elvis and his life and songs, and about what got Ken interested in him. They asked what was Elvis' most famous song, and Ken said that Can't Help Falling in Love With You was considered his most recognized song world-wide.

Kyler thought of Emperors, so we stopped by the library today to look up Emperors. Kyler got more excited about the Emperor Penguins, so he got a book on those. Ilea got a book on the Emperor's Clay Army, and is finding out about the clay pottery figures of warriors, horses, and of course, the Emperor. If they have time today, they may also watch Emperor's New Groove, which we haven't seen in ages, and we will finish the day with Egg Rolls! I'm so excited! I found a number of recipes for great egg rolls, so we'll give those a shot.
