Nap Break

This month at Noah's Home Preschool we will be studying facial features and the senses. These go well together since they're mostly all collocated. Today we played with Mr. Potato Head and watched Baby DaVinci (body parts). Then we went to the duck park and pet store to look at how animals' faces are different, but still have the same parts. Oh and we got him some new shoes because his are waaaay too small. I got a great deal! :) Right now I am going to cut out some eyes and ears and noses and mouths so we can make a cool face when Noah wakes up. He seems much much happier with me home. I love that :) Here's him putting his shoes on all by himself. There's a video on his site as well.


Thus far I haven't been too bored or stir crazy. I am enjoying the free time. Although, I'm such a scheduler that it's really not free time at all. I have a chore chart and a menu and a preschool curriculum. I am hoping that once all the planning is over I will still be content and not stir crazy :) Of course, by then Josh will be back! He's starting the 2 week journey home next week. I really wish I could be on the runway in Germany to greet him when he gets back :( The thought of him getting off that plane after being in the desert for a year... and me not being there really upsets me, but we simply cannot afford it. It's just not responsible. We'll close this entry with a nice shot of Noah excitedly handing me the keys when I mentioned ducks. He's saying "KEYS DUCK KEYS PLEASE DUCK!" Precious :)

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
