winds a blowin'
As I sit here, wind a-blowin' 40 miles an hour outside and my body telling me I need to take a nap. Instead I will blog a little. The time change has thrown me off wack yet again this year.
Here are some things that struck me as I went about my days.
It is amazing the amount of concentration it takes for a 3 year old to open a band-aid.
Its amazing how long it takes to eat a serving of sunflower seeds (still in the shell).
It's interesting to me that the books the kids lean to at the library are lots of times ones we have already read.
Interesting how long it takes to get organized. (a.. like NEVER)
Funny how our tastes change. Use to drink DP all day.. now I cant stand two sips.
It is so amazing how excited grandkids get when grandparents want to play board games!
Yesterday we spend a while at the library. Cat checked out some magic tree house books and wants to reread little house. Jo and Nate got books about the zoo, some picture books by ed young and Jo just had to get a little pocket guide to seaside life. (hum).
They woke up this morning and played a round of checkers. Cat finally won against Jo. I hadnt realized that the kids hadnt learned how to play checkers. When we got the game out one of them asked.. "where's the queen?" .. use to chess I guess.
I have worked most of the day trying to figure out what to do for art camp this summer. (more on that later).
Cat is doing here math as I write and just stated "I am now skip counting by my favorite number!" (5's).. She is now well into multiplication and doing well.
The boys are in the den playing the piano.
Well I need to go get this house straightened up. Double load of dishes and laundry are waiting.
I am so thankful for running water, soap and not having to go down to the river to wash. Who am I to complain!
OH>> the robin still has two eggs, we are hoping for at least one more.. two weeks to hatch! how fun it will be to see them so close up! AND.. our flowers are STILL alive! (amazing what a little water will do)
b2bh!
