"Racing Day" by The Backyardigans
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not nervous pacing day,
Today's the day we race.
I'm ready to race a long, long race,
This race goes almost every place,
It's fast, it's fun, it's fast, its far,
It starts out right here where we are.
When the finish line's unfurled,
You will have raced around the world,
When we finish this long, long race,
I hope, I hope I'll take first place.
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not sausage casing day,
Today's the day we race (x3).
****************************
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not picture tracing day,
Today's the day we race.
Goin' somewhere that's not here,
And while we do the crowd will cheer,
Through the forest, over the snows,
Across the ocean and then who knows?
Whoever is the first around,
Will get to make that victory sound.
Da da-da-da! is what they'll say,
At the end of Racing Day.
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not puppy chasing day,
Today's the day we race (x3).
****************************
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not doily lacing day,
Today's the day we race.
A long, long, long, long way we've come,
To get back where we started from,
We raced real hard but now it's time,
To break that tape and cross that line.
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
Racing Day, it's Racing Day,
It's not self-effacing(?) day,
Today's the day we race (x3).
Teddy Bears' Picnic
If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.
Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout;
They never have any care;
At six o'clock their mummies and daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little teddy bears.
(words by Jimmy Kennedy - 1932, music by John W. Bratton - 1907)

I'm old enough to never have done this in school, but I hear it's big in science classes these days.
And the obligatory Google search turned up a bazillion sites describing this experiment.Before hitting the big time, the "Mentos effect" was a schoolteacher's gimmick to make 13-year-olds listen up in science class. Drop an unwrapped roll of Mentos into a freshly opened 2L bottle of soda and stand back. The pop becomes a geyser of foam guaranteed to soak the ceiling of anybody foolish enough to try it indoors.

Check out Brenda's helpful and easy to follow instructions for creating a humane trap for fruit flies (and a way to get rid of old junk mail envelopes!)
Did you know that fruit flies can breed in your drains?
------------------------------
Alternate trap:
Place a piece of fruit in a dish or short glass and cover with plastic wrap. Pierce the plastric wrap with a skewer, making small holes. The flies can get in but can't get back out.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

"They found rubbing sunscreen on does not offer even protection and letting a white film dry on was much better. "
"They found that when the sunscreen was rubbed in it offered almost zero protection because the cream accumulated in lines and sweat glands and did not offer even protection. "
