Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

This is how we nap...

All is right in the world

When you have a whole lot of sprinkles to go with your small little kiwi "sucker-pops".

Animal lover

Miss K went to the humane society to love on the animals. She had a blast with the kitties.

Not just a throne at the park

I'm not a fan of these, but K was living it up in her "castle"...yuck!!

The pic she wanted to send daddy on his way home.

Excited: Returning to an old project

Yes, I have poor penmanship...so what?  I know it looks like a second grader wrote it, but hey, that's the way it is my friends. I'm not giving anything away, but I'm excited to at least attempt to revive this lost MG series (2). If I was a hash tag kind of person, this is where it would be and this is what would follow: realauthorsdraftonpaper =P

How can I have s'more of nothing?

Great weather this weekend.

Lessons

Sarah now knows how to make mashed potatoes. Learning to cook for when she goes home.

Cinderella

It's twice as much work when she helps, but it is so much more enjoyable with her. She helped hand mop floors, scrub the trash, fold laundry, and wash dishes.

Sprinkle Soup

I told K my soup was missing something, apparently she thought it needed sprinkles.

It's no secret...I've always been fascinated with it.



The Titanic has always been a major subject of intrigue to a lot of people, and you know I'm one of them. I don't seek out new information, but when I come across something- I'll stop and read/watch it. Anyway,  I'm weaning myself from cable and on Netflix came across an interesting piece from the Smithsonian Channel...Titanic’s Final Mystery.   (Fair Warning: It starts kind of slow, or maybe it just seemed that way because I was expecting something else.) It discusses how the weather played a role in the demise of the "unsinkable" ship, and poses a very unique perspective of mirage's and trickery. You can actually watch it here: http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/sc/web/show/141474/titanics-final-mystery. The historian, Tim Maltin, also has a book: TITANIC: A Very Deceiving Night, that I'm interested in getting my hands on (but it appears to only be available as an ebook, and I don't read that way...haha!)

Cake to brighten your day

She wanted a rainbow cake, she baked a rainbow cake. (and it was delicious!)

Night Time Storytime

The theme was dinosaurs, so each child got a cool 'touch and feel' dino book. K was most excited to find a huge Clifford hiding in the library. ;)
