a sad day

today we took the boys to the procession for Josh M who passed away in affganistan. they obviously don't know what it was for, but they liked seeing the firetrucks.

They also have no idea what a great area we live in. I was amazed at the turnout and support for this young man. I am proud of my town and county. I am proud to call it home, and I am proud to raise my boys here.

I obviously have no idea what this poor family is going through I look at my boys and i couldn't imagine having one of them pass away so young. So my sympathies and prayers are with them.

MUSEUM OF TRANSPORTATION

Link to the museum of Transportation

So today we went to the museum of transportation. The boys liked it. it had a small train (like the one at the zoo) that went around in a small circle. it had a bunch of trains, some cars, a tug boat, a plane. there were a few trains that you could get onto.

6.oo for adult
4.00 for 5-12
under 5 free
teachers free

Train rides 4.00 (although for some reason we only paid 2)
creation station i think was 1.50 (we didn't go in)

summer time fun

so we have been pretty busy here. the boys had swimming lessons last week. really only three days because of the rain. the boys didn't take to it so well. but since then we have been swimmng in the new pool at our house (a family pool like at the deiters fest) and we also have gone to uncle d's and over to visit our friends carol and mary at there pool. now the boys are getting more use to the water and are getting a little more independent. today with rings they were swimming all over the pool at carol and mary's.
sorry about the pix being sideways, it wouldn't let me move them.
E in his ring at carol and mary's

B swimming


n sitting in the family pool we bought. it is really to deep for him when full, but when i was blowing it up i put a little bit of water in it and let him crawl around. he loved it. he actually got to swim in it before his brothers.

The Letter E

So I know I haven't talked much about our crafts and Letters. so i thought i should fill you in. for the last few days we have been doing the Letter E. We started with Dying crushed egg shells (we had cleaned and saved them) and we made egg letters on our poster board. don't know if you can tell E's is all blue, and B changed it up by using different colors for differnt sections of the letter. The next craft was elephants. we colored, cut, and glued a elephant. Lastly we talked about humpty dumpty. I found the nursery rythme on line with some pictures. i cut out the picture, and we said the rythme and then put them in order. finally the boys glued the pictures to the board.
here are the pix

fathers day






so this is what scott is getting for fathers day. we got a picture frame for x-mas for 3 wallets. so we did this the other day, and i printed them out and put them in the frame. I will also have the boys color some cards for him.

so if you don't have anything yet, and are looking for something, cute, and inexpensive, i would try this.

what it took

cardboard boxes.
scissors
white paint
blue sheet
children (lol)

i just cut out the letters out of my avon boxes. draped the sheet over the side of my couch and snapped a bunch of pictures. i had matted photo papper so that didn't cost me anything.

i was going to get a 8x10. cvs had a code for a free one, but i couldn't get it to work. it sucks to becuase i was going to hang it in my room. oh well, i may try again latter.

i may post some more of the pix later

have a great day

swag bucks and you data

ok so i have talked about you data and swag bucks before, but i just wanted to revisit it.

swag bucks: you use there search engine (which utilizes google) and you randomly get swagbucks, or you can find a code. code hints are posted on swagbuck facebook, twitter, or there blog. so far i have gotten 15$ in amazon gift cards..i'm saving to buy laundry detergent..or something simular. (a 5$ amazon card cost 45 swagbucks)here is a link
http://swagbucks.com/refer/cttnjss


you will find at the bottom of my blog a swagbuck widget or try this (if it works). register, and search and earn.



youdata: my data pays you to look at adds. sometimes i make as little as 15 cents a week other weeks i make 1-4 dollars. really it is easy you go to there site and register. when you log in you can check what adds that they have (or have picked for you according to the data you gave them., interest ect) you click the links, up pops the web page.. (you can look it over or just close it) and they pay you for this. easy peasy.
here is a link to sign up under me.
http://www.youdata.com/join/cttnjss

if your wondering, yes i do earn off of others signing up under me, but really i have earned with both of these without others, and thought i would pass them on to others. neither is a big money maker but they are easy and bring in a little extra. check them out

B and N first Cardinals Game

so yesterday we took b and e to there first baseball game. they really enjoyed the whole thing. we road the metrolink (train) over. walked around the park for a short while. and they got these little back packs. (which are great for us, since i was thinking of getting something for them to use when they spent the nite places). they also really liked seing fred bird on the field, when he wasn't there they wanted to know where he went too. they did get a little bored about halfway through, but in the end i think they really enjoyed it.

here are some pix.
i took this one so i could do this.
