Yay for books

Okay, today there is no picture. Not that there is nothing to take a photograph of, just wanted to share that I am a member of bookmooch. It is this great online book trading site. Kris and I have a ton of books, and honestly, I feel if you have read it once, what is the point of it laying around? Kris on the other hand keeps his and can fill a library. I found bookmooch and it is great! I've given my old books and have received many books I have been wanting for years.
You should take a look!

Just as I was beginning to get frazzled...........

I looked out the window and what did I see? I saw a beautiful pink sunset staring at me. Okay, it wasn't staring at me, but it rhymes. I could not capture the beauty of the sky, buy I tried.

 

New home..................

For our hermit crabs. Yes, we have seven hermit crabs, 5 bigger ones that are pinkish, I forget the exact kind, (Hercules, Bob Bill, Angelica, Batman, and another one I forgot his name) and two little grays (Paco and Nacho Libre). Anyway,they have a new home. Tucker, McKenna and I decorated it today. Tucker thought of putting the American flag we got today at the parade, so we did. Their tank is much bigger than before, but not nearly as big as the 50 gallon we used to have. For the ground they have crushed coral and coconut fiber. They have a swimming pool, castle to hide in, moss to eat and hemp netting to climb. Anyway, I think they like it. They have been climbing on the net and hopefully they will be eating their peanut butter that is sitting on top of the little truck. The hermies LOVE peanut butter (and the truck was Tuckers idea).

 

Here is a photo of one of the hermies. I think this one is Bob Bill (Tucker named him, after Bob the Builder). But, it is hard to tell really who is who, except for Hercules, who is BIG and we have had for almost seven years.

 

 

Remember When..

Remember when swinging on a swing or looking for bugs was fun? What happened to those days? As an adult, the simple pleasures of life do not happen very often. It is almost like you have to plan them.
Fortunately, for children they happen randomly and often. How wonderful is it that a child can continuously smile and giggle for minutes on end while riding a swing. If I did that, my jaw would hurt.

 

I'm not the only one who loves the new tv.
For a little girl who LOVES Elmo, how great it must be to see him so big.

 

Gotta love it

For the longest time Kris has wanted a flat screen big tv. I didn't see all the greatness of it, but after a while we finally agreed on one. Once we got our stimilus check, we had to do our American obligation and help the economy, so we bought our big tv.

 

After watching House on it last night, I am a total convert and want one for the bedroom now.

NEW IDEA!

Okay, when I started this blog, I had great ideas and intentions. I did not realize that to write news about us, that other people would find interesting, is much harder than I thought.
So, my new idea is to add a photo a day. It may be a photo of one of the kids, Kris or me, the house, our garden, our hermit crabs, you get the idea.
So, my first picture will be.........................

Tucker planting seeds for our garden. There are sunflowers, morning glories, cactus, mint, dill, basil and black eyes susans. All of us helped in the planting, even Kris. Hopefully we can keep them growing.
