Cruising to catastrophe

Thinking of cruising? It is very important to investigate a cruise ship companies environmental policies before giving that company your business because there are many companies out there that dump untreated food waste, etc into the oceans. So, ironically, what you are cruising to see, ie. pristine water and sea life, might not be there any longer due to cruise ships.

Oil gushing into the ocean doesn't help either.

Made in China?

Millions of the 16-ounce glasses sold by McDonald's found to contain cadmium, a known carcinogen

Coco has an admirer

I dropped Coco and Hazel off at the Dunbar playroom so I could go to the Dunbar gym for 1 hour.

When I returned, Coco showed me 5 pictures a little boy had drawn for her.

He came over and said to her "These are for you lovely".

Coco turned to me and whispered "I think I'm in love".

Little Miss Helpful

Hazel is quite independent these days... her favorite four words... I CAN DO IT! She stacked her bowl into the dishwasher the other day. She regularly empties her potty into the toilet (I cringe). She likes to climb into her car seat (I try to leave 5 minutes earlier to allow for this).

My favorite conversation...

"Hazel, please put on your jacket."

"No"

"It is actually very cold outside"

"No, thank you."

Craft day!

We attempted paper maché again. The girls had fun. Let's just say... it got a little messy!!!!!

Baptism part two

The twins came over the other day for a play. Their baptism is this Sunday. We are looking forward to this great celebration. I created sterling silver cross necklaces for them (from the bead shop) and found pretty boxes to put them in (Pier 1 Imports) and for fun we also got them sticker books and a bead making kit.

Dining Al Fresco

The sun came out briefly the other day so the girls had supper on the deck. More sun please.
