School House Rock

Today is the first day of school for the twins. I don't know why they start school on a Tuesday instead of a Monday which makes more sense to me. Decisions are being made all over the state of N.C. everyday and no one ever asks my opinion. Go figure. But back to school did get me thinking about two things...

1. School House Rock

2. School Houses


Were you a fan of School House Rock? Maybe you are too young. My two favorites were "I'm Just A Bill" and "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverb Here". Pretty catchy don't you think? What was your favorite School House Rock song?
(If my sisters are reading this, you can just click on the highlighted words and you can hear the songs. Doesn't it bring back memories of Saturday morning?)

So of course School House Rock got me thinking about...

My favorite school house.



Monkey Cottage.
The weekend home of John Loecke and Jason Nixon.



Originally featured in Country Living you can read the whole article here.



These guys are not afraid of paint.



Or color



Or layering.



Their little cottage is jammed packed with personality. Much cuter than any school I ever went to. Although, I do remember a lot of the walls being painted green. If you get a chance, don't forget to check out more pictures here.

  1. Personally I liked Conjunction Junction what's your function. But the adverb song was good too. Hope the twins have a great first day!

  16. I own the Schoolhouse dvds & watch them every now & then. I still know the Preamble to the Constitution because of the song. I actually sang it to myself in 11 grade American History as I wrote it for my test!!!
    Good luck to the Hydrangea twins!!!
