starting anew

I am starting over.  It seems that this blog kind of fell to the wayside.  I decided instead of trying to resurrect it, I will just start a new one.  so come visit me there!

Baby Bird

Yesterday the boys found a baby bird in the neighbors yard, put it in a little laundry basket and brought it into the house.  Boys are just really nuts, or fun... depends on how you look at it.   They also said that they fed it a worm (they had dug some up the other day). 

Oh the joy of living in a house of boys.

Christmas Planning

The ideas are already swimming in my head.  What to get who.  Who will give what (I buy for my mother-in-law and at least one of my brothers)  I just love browsing the ads and thinking about what we are going to get.  I have started my spread sheet to track what I am spending. 

I just love picking out presents for the boys and trying to figure out what I can get for a good deal that they will still like.

Johny the Elf on the Shelf: Week 1

We had a small issue this week, when E touched Johny when he was in the bathroom.  Johny didn't go see Santa that night, but the next day we reread the book, and talked again about the rule of not touching Johny, the next day Johny was on the little candle/lamp in the Living Room holding a pen.  He had left a note for B, E and N.  In the note it said that he missed us for that day, and that he was glad to have his magic back, and to see us again, but to remember not to touch because he doesn't think he will be able to get his magic back a second time.

I will say I had lots of fun this week with Johny.  He peed in the toilet (green food coloring) and wrote the boys a note.   I can't wait to see what else this little elf gets into...

Child Nutrition Act

Have you heard about it, if not try reading this article, Inside The Last Minute Fight to Pass the Child Nutrition Act.   Essentially this bill has passed the Senate but is stalled in the House.  If you are interested in healthier food choices in your school please call or e-mail you Representative to let them know.  To call or e-mail our Representatives just call 1-800-826-3688 and ask for your Congressman or woman, or go to www.house.gov and e-mail them from there.

New backround

Do you like it.  B picked it out.  I like it, I just need to find a new top picture that works better with the backround.   Plus that picture is a year old already, can you believe it I sure can't. 

talk to you later
