<b>How To Play:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Set up plain paper and a few markers in a circle. The players begin to draw when the music starts. When the music stops the player must stop drawing and move to the next seat. The game ends when every player has gone to each drawing. </i></div>

Once the afterschoolers noticed a crack in one of the coconuts it became a mission to crack one completely open and see what was inside; coconut MILK or coconut WATER?! After quite some time and a lot of team work they succeeded and got them open. There is still a debate whether its milk or water inside. </div>

A lot of our Munchkins have had experiences with the Hospital. Stitches, broken bones, visiting new siblings are some of the reasons they've been while others are lucky enough to not have to go. We have a child in our classroom that was having a surgery that would leave them with a temporary bandage on their head. The teachers, hospital staff and parents of the child knew this would raise many questions from the other children and the hospital staff told us they would come in for a visit! </div>

While one group was getting a closer look with Sam, Crystal took another group over to do finger casts! She used special bandages and warm water to make the cast on the children's finger. After a few short minutes they hardened up into the finish product!</div>

After their presentation was done all the children got to go home with a "goody bag" from the hospital that had bandages, gloves, gauze and some other medical supplies to play with (or keep for when needed!) We were all so appreciative that Crystal and Kayla could take time from their busy schedule to spend time with us! We got a lot of medical questions answered and we hope if any of our Munchkins ever have to have a hospital experience they feel a little better about going!</div>

It's the most wonderful time of the year and the Munchkins have been in to decorating our classrooms for the holiday season. One group made these paper plate wreaths and inspired other groups to do it as well. It's easy, simple materials, and open ended for the children to create a unique piece that's their own! </div>

You can use whatever decorations you would like to make your wreath but we made the actual wreath from paper plates we had lying around. From there, paint, glue, scissors, pieces of ever greens and any other decorations are all you need! </div>

Over the summer months our resident Munchkins have experienced a great deal of new development. We have watched as a new subdivision has emerged; from the clearing of the land, the process of the new road, and construction of houses going up.<br />
<br />
We were also excited to watch the new Munchkins Clubhouse being built, <a href="http://momentswithlittlemunchkins.blogspot.ca/2016/06/from-ground-up-part-3.html" target="_blank">From The Ground Up</a>!<br />
<br />
All that observing has inspired our Little Munchkins to build everyday with anything they can get their hands on.<br />

"<i>We need a good base."</i></div>

We can also set up different invitations amongst our classroom to support their interests. Different size lego at quiet time, magnetic blocks on the light table and adding sensory materials with building blocks help to keep the fun going.

Two of our closets connect to one another which the children didn't know about. We cleaned out the bottom and added spider webs throughout it. This made a creepy tunnel for the kids to crawl through. This was the biggest hit of the party with a line across the room waiting to get in.<br />

A couple weeks ago I noticed a couple children sitting in our art area coloring pictures. I sat down with them and before I could ask a child looked at me and said, "This is water, this is me, this is where treasure is." They asked me to draw a picture with them so I grabbed a purple marker and drew a random bear. Soon an entire story evolved from my bear. "The purple bear steals all the treasure and we have to go find it before he got to it!" The excitement caught the attention of a few more children who quickly asked to join. </div>

We spent the rest of our morning running around the playground collecting rocks, sticks and toys (aka treasure) and protecting it from the bear. When we came across this sign the child ran her finger across the words and told her friends what it said. "Be quiet bears are here and children have to tip toe." We then continued on by tip toeing through the yard only whispering. </div>

The next day the children continued to talk about maps and needed to make more. We gathered up some supplies so they could work together and create a big one to show our families. We used different shapes to represent roads, our sandbox, houses and trees. (The other shapes were for decorations so it would be a beautiful map.)</div>

Earlier this week we took the children out to the woods to help clean it up. We told them if we take care of our woods we would be able to use it more. After working together to clean it up, our woods were ready for something really special; a GREAT GUMMY BEAR HUNT. Wanda filled little baggies with gummy bears and labeled them with each child's name. The children mapped out their route to where the gummy bear treasures would be!</div>

The final touches are being made on the clubhouse and there's just a couple more weeks before we're ready to be "moved in"! The last blog post ended with the doors and windows being installed and the dry wall being put up. Fast forward just a little bit and we have floors put down, fresh paint on the walls, lighting fixtures up, and ceilings and toilets in!<br />

With all the construction going on our "Littlest Munchkins" have taken a great interest in tools and construction. We've also spent a lot of time on our patio watching the men work, answering a lot of questions and admiring all the trucks that have been in and out of our driveway. </div>

We noticed after they had observed the cedar siding being put on they would take our flat boards and hammer them to the wall. (It hasn't been the quietest around our room lately!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because the children were hammering everything they could find (tables, walls, chairs, <i>windows</i>) we decided to borrow some of the cedar scraps from the construction site and begin a few nails in the boards. We set the pieces of wood on the table with a few hammers and let the kids go to town. </div>

We're into the third week of our clubhouse construction! We finished the last blog post with the roof being put on. We've seen many different skilled workers come onto site recently to help with the construction. Electricians, carpenters, and people to install dry wall are some of the important people that we've observed.<br />

Once the electrician had finished what he needed to do a big truck came with a large stack of drywall on the back. When we asked the children what they thought the big pieces would be used for they confidently said "the walls!" </div>

It is amazing how quickly the clubhouse is being built! On Monday morning we had a cement slab and by Friday afternoon we have the structure built and shingles being put on! We are so excited to continue watching this process and to learn a bit more about the machines and tools being used.<br />
<br />
The Munchkins Clubhouse will be opening at the end of June just in time for our Summer Camp program for grades 2 - 5! Spaces are now available for our Summer Camp program along with Fall Registrations! Visit www.littlemunchkinspreschoolcenter.ca for more info!<br />

The toddler and two's have been extremely observant of colors; "boo, lellow, wed, and geen." Some of the older children know quite a bit, while others are still learning. After discussing with Karen, the other toddlers & two teacher we decided to explore colors a little further. We wanted the children to learn colors not memorize them by repeatedly quizzing them. We decided to pick a different color each day and set up an invitation that was engaging, meaningful, and fun. </div>

We started things off with a red <strong>discovery basket</strong>. We gathered a variety of different materials that were red and let the children go to town. Some of the materials in the basket the children were familiar with while others were new. The kitchen timer was the most popular of all. The children would twist the timer and eagerly wait for it to ring. </div>

Our color exploration went on for about two weeks. Like I mentioned at the beginning of this post the children were not sitting looking at flash cards and being quizzed; the children learned new colors through <strong><u>play!</u></strong> </div>

This past summer a parent gave me a bag of brand new petri dishes. I love getting things that have endless possibilities, are reusable, and something I cannot find at the dollar store or my junk drawer. As I sit here and write I'm still thinking of what else I could do with them... <em>(Future blog post!?)</em> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because we live in Canada and because it's winter we have a little thing called ice. The children have been particularly interested in it in our toddler room, and let us know whenever they see it. Petri dishes.... ice.. petri dishes.. ice.. aha!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I grabbed some pine needles from outside, a bag of cranberries, and an orange we had in the fridge and sliced them up very thin. Next, put them in the petri dishes, filled them with water, and stuck them in the freezer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple hours later they were frozen and time to play with. I placed them all in the sink and ran the hot water over them so they would come out easily. </div>

The children got their hands right in there despite it being cold. (They told me right away, "Cold Leslie...cold..") They held the disks up to their noses and told me what they smelt, they stacked the ice into towers, and they even tried to break them to get the stuff in the middle out. They weren't sure what the cranberries were so we investigated them a little further. Some of them ate them and were not impressed. </div>
<br />
Because they continue talking about the ice we are currently providing icy invitations for them.<br />

A group of the children took some sticks and made a simple trap. "Look Leslie we made a trap and we're going to catch something." I smiled and suggested they find some type of food to put underneath it to lure them in. <br />
<br />
The next day the food was gone, but the trap was empty. The children were a little frustrated they got "skunked." <br />
<br />

The group of children decided they needed to make a bigger and better trap, and told me "they didn't need any help because this was a job for the boys."</div>

The next day one of the girls brought in a bag of carrots for the bunnies. The boys said, "perfect you can give us some and we can put them in our trap!" (We all knew that wasn't about to happen)</div>

Instead of arguing with the boys the girls brought in carrots and decided to build their "Bunny Shelter". The carrots in their shelter would deter the bunnies away from the boys trap, and into the house. (smart!)</div>

The girls were on to them so they had no luck. The next day there were a lot of carrots in everybody's lunch boxes. When we all went outside there was a bunny in between the house and the trap. Of course the kids were so excited they bolted towards it and it ran off into our woods. At that moment everyone was so excited to actually see a bunny that they didn't even care about trapping it. We talked about how bunnies scare very easily and agreed we wouldn't try to chase them, rather, welcome them to our yard. </div>

They all picked numbers and were put into a random group. They had to discuss amongst their group if they wanted to build a house or a trap. It was nice to see a healthy debate on what they should build. We ended up having some houses and some traps....</div>

The afterschoolers were <b>obsessed</b> with the smelly markers I brought in for them. Every day they would run off the bus and ask "Can we draw with the smelly markers?!" Forget hello, forget snack, forget waiting for the other buses.<br />
<br />
Day after day they would create amazing drawings and usually their pictures would get ripped, left behind, or thrown away. This is when I decided we needed our very own art journals. <br />
<br />
I went to the dollar store and got every child their own note pad filled with blank paper. The next day we covered the top with blank paper and I let the kids personalize their cover however they wanted. <br />

Once they made their journals we were ready to bring out our inner artists! I decided Wednesday would be our journal day because it's always a half day. I also decided to do "themes" for each week. Now I know most people hear "themes" and think we're being too structured, <i>however, </i>this provides opportunity to learn about different types of art and use different materials. It's always very open and the children like to share at the end what they created. </div>

Overall the art journals have been such a fun process for everyone. Everyone always participates because <b>they want to, </b>not because they <i>have to</i>. They come off the bus Wednesday wondering what this weeks theme will be or what type of materials we will be using. I tried not to share too much as once they are full the children will be taking them home. I will continue brainstorming different ideas to keep the journals fun and interesting. </div>

We cleared out part of our toddler/2 room and filled it with spider webs. The toddler/2 group has been ALL ABOUT spiders lately. When they walked into the room they could climb under, over, and through the cobwebs! Although there was some frustration with getting tangled up in the webs as soon as they were set free they wanted to go right back in! </div>

Everyone was climbing on the big mounds of dirt and rock piled in the middle of the soon to be road except for one child. I noticed this child laying on the ground so I quietly walked over and saw that she was digging around a large rock. I was there for a little bit before she looked up at me and said, "I'm going to get this rock out and make the biggest splash ever." I nodded and she went back to work. I saw her taking different rocks and sticks she had lined up to help dig. "These are all my tools to help me get the rock out. There's cutting rocks and digging sticks." <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9aNRk6ZiGLZzXIndg2LQd3iZ8SiX2xq28yHIaxuFYDr7Dd70weD3fKF3_UxNrnai8pMdj6mt-ehrKr-vpn4ol-dcEpUgu8NsWn6Cxt7m0Sb1VWLer1zPqmFIqUZPrEiHfRLkefCMzg8/s1600/unnamed-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9aNRk6ZiGLZzXIndg2LQd3iZ8SiX2xq28yHIaxuFYDr7Dd70weD3fKF3_UxNrnai8pMdj6mt-ehrKr-vpn4ol-dcEpUgu8NsWn6Cxt7m0Sb1VWLer1zPqmFIqUZPrEiHfRLkefCMzg8/s400/unnamed-15.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div>

I smiled and yet again she continued to work away at her task. Every few minutes she would try to push this rock out either by pushing it with her hands or sitting and trying to use her feet. </div>

To see the effort she was putting in to this was unbelievable. I could see how bad she wanted to get that rock out of the dirt and I wanted nothing more but to help her, but I didn't; I refused. There are two reasons I refused to help.</div>

When I said it was time to go I thought she would be upset because she hadn't achieved her goal yet but all she said was "can we come back again?" I promised we would, so a little while later we walked down to the "secret spot" once again. </div>

I found myself cheering along with them just as much, and was so excited they were able to get it out. I was happy I didn't interrupt their process and allowed them to achieve their goal all on their own. It's easy being an adult to just step in and help a child do something. It's important to take a step back and think if it's something they should actually be doing for themselves. No, they might not always be able to do it, but it's all part of learning. Children are more than capable to do amazing things as long as they have the opportunity to try for themselves. </div>

The children made rolls, apple crisp, peeled and cut carrots and potatoes, set the table, and even made place cards for themselves. After a week of preparation the children finally got to sit down together and enjoy a beautiful meal together. We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family! </div>

If you think back on your summers as a child you most likely remember playing in or around water. There's no doubt that most children love playing with water, and there's no doubt most children love to be silly. <i>(Did somebody say underwear?) </i><br />

I spent Monday morning filling up 100 water balloons. During this long and tedious task I would remind myself how much fun the kids were going to have, and it would be worth it. We decided to play "Highlanders & Lowlanders" (capture the flag) but with the water balloons. If a player gets hit with a water balloon they are to go straight to jail. If they get tagged they are frozen for 10 seconds only. Blue team and red team had their designated balloons, but the multi colored balloons were in the middle of the playing field and were fair game for anyone. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The children sat in a circle and picked a paper out of a hat and had to do the action written on the paper. Some of the actions were : </div>

We also made homemade slushies as a refreshing treat. In the morning the children made jello and I stuck it in the freezer. They weren't sure what we were doing with it until they saw the "Make Your Own Smoothie" station set up. I put out cups, straws, frozen jello, frozen berries, and a lemon lime soda. I was informed of the sugar content from one child, but I told them they only needed a splash. </div>

We couldn't have asked for better weather to enjoy the great outdoors last week! We lived outside, enjoying every minute of the sunshine and fresh air. We were able to visit some of our favorite local spots outside, and even found a brand new spot that we are <i>all</i> excited about!</div>

We started our week off with a nature scavenger hunt I put together. There were no instructions and no questions. The children ran to the bags and were <u>gone</u>. We went all over our property and then hit the trail to look some more. Unfortunately, there were huge piles of dirt blocking the path to the frog pond we always visit. The children were disappointed but saw a machine working on a new dirt road a little way over. The man stopped and told us we were welcome to check our the new road he was making. (This was very exciting!!) </div>

In addition to exploring the great outdoors we also decided to spice up our outdoor classroom a bit. We're often doing projects outside and a problem we have is where to put them to dry. This is where the inspiration for our new nature drying rack came from.</div>

A nice and easy (<i>minimal tools involved!</i>) way to create a beautiful drying rack is from the sticks laying around our yard. The kids helped me find 4 similar size sticks, I used the drill to screw it together and then had the children paint it any way they liked. </div>

I wanted to try geocaching with the group and downloaded the app on my phone, but we could not get to any of the locations near by. So I did the next best thing and made my own.

Our second week of summer camp fell the week of Canada Day so naturally our theme was "Oh Canada!" We celebrated all things Canadian and learned a few things about our wonderful country. We started off by creating a diorama of our beloved capital city which many of us call home. Everyone decided what part they wanted to create and worked incredibly hard on capturing all the details. </div>

Everyone seemed to really enjoy contributing their part to our city, and asked to make another one for one of our upcoming weeks!<br />
<br />
Another activity we did that the children LOVED was our firework paintings. You cannot have Canada day without fireworks, and because we couldn't do the real thing we decided to do the next best thing.<br />

I quickly boiled up some spaghetti before going outside, taped up a giant paper on our fence, and put some paint out. "What is this?" "Why is there spaghetti outside?" "This can't be happening." "Is this for real life?!" (Were some of the comments) I told them to give it a shot and without any hesitation we had spaghetti flying everywhere. </div>

A few knew what an inukshuk was, and a couple have stumbled across them before, but no one had ever tried to make one. (<i>A lot harder than it looks!</i>) We talked about the inuit structures, why people build them and what they mean. We looked at pictures and wondered how some of the gigantic ones were built?! </div>

The key to a successful inukshuk is getting the bottom even and sturdy. The campers learned they had to secure the base and find particular rocks so their structures wouldn't fall. After problem solving, team work, and some hard work, there were inukshuks scattered across our playground; <b>challenge complete! </b><br />

I like to incorporate some type of cooking each week, and what better way than a Canadian specialty; beaver tails! (aka fried dough)<br />

Gardens take time, patience, and responsibility, and I am very impressed with all the children's efforts in creating and maintaining our gardens. Every day as soon as we get out, they unravel the hose and make sure every plant is watered and doing ok. I <i>never</i> have to ask or remind them. Nothing feels better then to watch all of your hard work flourish (literally!) </div>

"Can we do yoga?" Is a question I get asked a lot, especially at quiet time. I get excited and say yes, but I'm quickly told "No, Leslie. This is for the kids. We're the teachers and you just watch." So I sit back and smile as my three and four year olds lead each other in a yoga session. </div>

They repetitively did "tree", "cobra", and "warrior" poses and helped the younger ones on their form. I asked them where they learned to do yoga, and most would tell me they watched their mom do it from the TV. (They're <i>always</i> watching.) </div>

The children have enjoyed doing the yoga so much that it has become part of our quiet time routine. Every day after we clean up, they spread out and begin going over all the positions. To extend their interest I decided to bring my yoga mat in for the children to use, and later decided to create a yoga center in our classroom. Each day we try to learn and perfect a new position as well as a little bit of history. </div>

The space provides a big enough area away from other traffic, natural light, yoga mats, and some references for the children to look at. You can often look over and see a few children trying out some of the new positions that are posted. You can see the excitement across the children's face when they successfully master a new move! </div>

Like adults, children receive great benefits by practicing yoga. Yoga teaches us about our bodies, and is not only good for our physical well being, but mental as well. Yoga helps with flexibility, coordination, balance, posture, and strength. Yoga is also offering social skills amongst our Munchkins by taking turns, helping and encouraging other children, and respecting other people's space. Yoga is also proven to reduce stress and build self confidence!<i> Did I mention that yoga is FUN?!</i> I encourage everyone that is reading this to take a few minutes out of their day and try some yoga! Namaste! </div>

People living in colder climates are often wishing to live somewhere warm and sunny all winter long. I'm not about to lie and say that I LOVE Winter, but here at Little Munchkins we choose to embrace it. We're outside all winter long, snow or shine, providing meaningful moments for the children in our care. Watching the excitement of the first big storm, laughing uncontrollably during an intense snowball fight, and catching snowflakes on your tongue are all things children don't get to experience when living in warmer areas. As you get older, the stress of winter can pay a toll, but if you stand back and watch children outside in snow you can find that magic you experienced as a child creep back. </div>

Some days it is just TOO cold. Our four year old group used the extreme temperature to try a science experiment to see what would happen to hot water if they threw it in the air! They made their <b>hypothesis</b> as to what would happen and collected their <b>data </b>once their results were in. The water turned to snowy dust as soon as it hit the icy air. Next, they wanted to see if they added food coloring if the dust would turn different colors, but it did not work. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtY3O6b_smNn9L2AExlU9FnIfEm2rdwSBCbUmsMBzrVQoukiMHnBQAUj4AEwYj_bzVpnLF_rTth6SmGQ1TWb1oihgmp-ezcpgJA9h7a7NC7K3sIr3YAPk08GMHbt9IR88VHsPiyWttBg/s1600/unnamed-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtY3O6b_smNn9L2AExlU9FnIfEm2rdwSBCbUmsMBzrVQoukiMHnBQAUj4AEwYj_bzVpnLF_rTth6SmGQ1TWb1oihgmp-ezcpgJA9h7a7NC7K3sIr3YAPk08GMHbt9IR88VHsPiyWttBg/s1600/unnamed-13.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>

One day the snowflakes were falling perfectly on our mittens! We spent most of the afternoon collecting and comparing them. This led into many discussions of how snow flakes form and how no two are the same. </div>

Apparently Canadians refer to it as <i>sliding </i>but where I grew up it's sledding! Every time the children get outside they run <u>straight</u> to our shed. Sledding allows the children to burn off lots of energy, take turns, share, and is just plain fun! </div>

By mid winter the snow banks in our parking lot are MASSIVE and the Munchkins LOVE to climb them. This is very challenging but so rewarding when making it to the top! Going for nature walks in winter also makes it easier to see animal tracks. We're getting pretty good at identifying the types of tracks around here! </div>

We setup water balloons on our zip line, and launched snowballs from our catapult! The water balloons would not break so they decided to throw the snowballs instead. Still, the balloons didn't break. Finally the children decided we had to PUNCH them down!! As the balloons hit the snow they were surprised to see it was "magic water" inside! </div>

Snow happens every winter whether we like it or not. There are two types of people in this world; people who hate snow and people who embrace it. Children <i>love</i> snow. (I think I would love it a little more if I didn't have to shovel, brush my car off all the time, drive on unplowed roads, etc) </div>

We decided to bring in a bunch of snow into our classroom for the children to explore. Sure, they're outside everyday, but they are bundled up and it's hard to move! Bringing in snow gives the children the opportunity to touch the snow without mittens, which is a totally different experience entirely. </div>

I thought the children might be a little skeptical due to the cold, but they dug right in and began to play. Some of the two year olds began scooping the fluffy snow into bowls and telling me to eat the ice cream. At that moment I knew what we had to do the next day; homemade snow ice cream. </div>

Every morning around 9:30 the sun is just over the pine trees outside our window and hits a small disco ball hanging in the room. The disco ball has been there forever, but the children have just become interested in it. The children run over to it and say "Leslie, do it!", and the ones who cannot talk walk over and point. As soon as I spin it, tiny dots of light spin through our room and the children get very excited and try to "catch them". </div>

Our daily routine with the disco ball has inspired many days of play and learning with the toddler / two group. On the first day, we brought in one of our smaller light tables, sensory blocks, flash lights, and other small lights. We have been currently extending the children's interest of blocks, so this was a perfect way to incorporate the two preferences in the room. </div>

The children would push them on and off, shine them all around, and hold the lights right up to their eye balls. Our light investigation lasted for most of the morning and I knew we had to keep it going! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tuesday we decided to change the over head lights to black lights. We put out cotton balls, containers, sensory bottles filled with white paint, and other materials, and taped coffee filters all along the floor. </div>

Wednesday we decided to use the black lights again, but have white slime out. Not all the children were crazy about the cold slimy texture, but most of them ripped it into a bunch of tiny little pieces. I took a bigger chunk and stuck it to lights. Slowly the slime started to creep towards them. "It's gonna get my head. Oh no!" said one child, and just a few short moments the weight of the slime made it fall and bounce into the bucket. </div>

I had already made something to try the next morning when Karen goes on her break. (the time we usually play with the disco ball) I took cardboard from the recycling and glued reflective materials to it. I broke a scratched CD we had, and cut up aluminum foil. I also gathered a few other objects I knew would reflect the light and placed it all on the table (big metal spoon, recycled christmas card, a lid of a tin). </div>

Everyone appeared pretty interested however their favorite part was chasing the lights. "I'm gonna get it!" they would say and run towards it. I kept lifting it up just as they were about to get it, and then they would jump trying to reach it. (Amusement for both the children and educators.) </div>

There's always a little excitement the day our scholastic order comes in. I was particularly excited because I knew SPOON by Amy Krouse Rosenthal was in that order. I had previously read the story, but knew the children probably haven't heard it before.<br />

SPOON is about a young spoon who is feeling a little blue because he does not think he is as special as his friends knife, fork, and chopsticks. They can do all types of neat things that a spoon cannot, but little does he know his friends think he's pretty special because of all the exciting things <i>he</i> can do. After we finished the story I asked all of the children why they think they are special. Here is what they had to say: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"Because sometimes I get peanut butter on my face."</i></b></div>
