Best Idea Ever


 So i found this idea on pinterest. Lucas LOVES to build and pretend to be a builder. So, I took some boxes and he nailed away at them. He loved it because he could use real nails and hammers but they went in pretty easy into the box. Kept the kids busy for a LONG LONG time!!


First Day of School!


 Well as much as some of my kids might have told me they didn't want to start school they were all very happy and excited kids on the first day of school and it has carried through the entire week! We have lucked out with good teachers all around. Yay!! And Lucas started kindergarten this year. He kept begging for me to put him in full day but I did not. I told him I'd be too sad without him!! So when he got off the bus today he said "Mom, i think you DID put me in full day kindergarten"
"Why?" I asked
"Because I was there for a full day"
"oh, did it feel long?" i asked
"Yes, it was a full day"
I thought that was pretty funny!

phone book anyone?

Really?! Who uses these? I wonder if it is really necessary that one of these is dropped off every 6-12 months! We had a whole pile of them when we first moved in and they continue to show up on our doorstep way too often. Andy seems to think we should hang onto them but let's be honest....when we want to look up a number do you reach for your phone book or you ipad?
