Ate a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked today - it was so good - but that is not what I am blogging about. I am raving about a child's art crayon called Djeco Pastel Gels. Love them Just discovered you can use water with them. Check out our art today...

New eating/craft area

Bruce built us this great bar height table. I just need to figure out a way to incorporate some storage.

rainy days

It is a bit of work getting the kids out for a walk every day - rain or shine - but it is worth it. Here are a few pics of us, braving the rain, to take Lucky for her walk.

Working on a poster to post to give Lippy, the cat away. I have 2 places to post it so far.

ADOPT ME... please.

Hello there. My name's Lippy and I'm a super sweet cat. Wanna adopt me? I'm a perfectly healthy fourteen year old cat. The thing is... things aren't working out in my current living situation. These small children chase me into corners and hug me too tightly. Don't even get me started on the big black dog. Let's just say the dog and I are not friends. She was here first. I only moved in because my person met this other person, fell in love and well, you know the rest of the story. Don't even get me started on babies.

What I'm looking for... quiet house or apartment. green space optional.

Let's talk... insert cel# here.

Did I mention I'm vaccinated and fixed and in perfectly good shape.

Save me from the children and dog, please. I'll bring heaps of joy to your life.

that day

Coco asked, "Is tomorrow that day people stay at home and don't know what to do?"

She was asking about Sunday.

Office clean up

When I can tear myself away from facebook, I am planning to clean my home office. Will post pics soon. It has seriously become a dumping ground for everything that won't fit in my 750 square feet main floor of house.

ACK ATTACK

Last night Hazel woke up at 3:30 am screaming "ack, ack". I suggested she go back to sleep. She continued demand "ack, ack, ack". This is Hazel's way of saying "snack" but she can't pronounce the "s" so well.

I got up and brought her some milk and stringy cheese. She ate and drank and then went back to sleep. She didn't wake up until 7:30 am which is great for her.

The previous night she awoke at 5:00 am.

Was talking to a friend and she said her whole day is focused on "filling them up and tiring them out". It is so true.

Come to think of it, Lucky may have eaten Hazel's arrow root cookie snack the night before the "ack" attack.

On a completely different note, Coco won't sleep in her room again because she is scared of owls.
