Reading is Fundamental

hahaha... I have to laugh at the title because of the new Terry Tate video that I watched the other day.

Anyway :) Since Josh is home sick it gave me the opportunity for some much needed one on one time with Noah Boah. We went to a new park yesterday to feed the ducks and play on the playground and noticed a big beautiful library at the entrance. I told Noah we would go in on the way back out, but by then Tristan was cranky so we just went home. I told him we would go back tomorrow (today) while Tristan was napping, just Noah and Mommy. So we did! Noah thought it was his birthday or something he was so excited. They let him get his own library card and he signed his name on the back. He picked out 4 books, 3 of them Halloween books. He thanked the librarian (in an excited whisper) twice for his library card. I think we'll be going to the library at least once a week. It's nice and relatively close to home. Here are the books we're reading this week! They're all linked if you want to look further.

The library! What a great idea! I think that would be a great thing to do. I might have to take Matthew to the Library when things slowdown next week. :)

That is so exciting getting his first library card. How old do they have to be? I bet Haley would love to do that to. I like all the books he picked out. Haley would love that Dora one.

I asked the librarian what the age cutoff is and she said they leave it up to the parents' discretion. So I guess here you can be any age at all!

I used to take Alex and Caleb to the library all the time, but I don't take Jake. I guess it's because we have at least 1 BILLION books in this house. I can open my own library at this point. LOL

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

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...
