Snow!

It snowed here this morning. My boys reacted in typical fashion. A was upset. He doesn't like change or new experiences. C loved it. We don't get snow very often here so it is sort of a treat.

We made paper snowflakes this afternoon. I did the cutting. A is just learning to use scissors.

I found a great pattern on Martha Stewart's site.

The snowflakes brighten up our windows nicely.Pin It

I spent a morning with 8 preschoolers

It was my day to help in the childrens program at Community Bible Study. I asked to be in my son's classroom. It was fun but also tiring.

I learned a cute song for saying thanks for the food (snack).

To the tune of the Superman theme song:

"Thank you God, for giving us food
Thank you, God, for giving us food.
For the friends that we meet and the food that we eat
Thank you, God, for giving us food."

I told A. that I would be in his classroom today and he said "no" like he didn't want me there. He changed his mind pretty quickly. Hopefully he won't expect me to stay next time.Pin It

Author/Book let-down

I just finished reading a great book. Well, I thought it was great until I found out a few more details about the author. Sad details.

The book is Expecting Adam by Martha Beck. I read through the book in 3 days. I had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to read more about her son Adam (with Down syndrome) and their family.

I found out that the author and her husband are now divorced. They had such an amazing connection which is told in detail in the book. The even more sad thing is that he posted a review (on Amazon.com's website) of her latest book Leaving the Saints and corrects what he says are incorrect facts in her book. Her latest book is about leaving the Mormon church and about discovering s*xual abuse in her past done by her father.

She is still an amazing story teller.Pin It

Rain, rain go away!

OK, so it has been raining here for days, weeks. Flooding, power outtages, etc.

We still go out on most days. This morning we went to the library for pre-school story time. The theme was BUS - a big hit with my 3 year old.

Yesterday we checked out Imagine Childrens Museum. I had wanted to go there for quite a while. They don't allow strollers so I had to wait until C. was a confident walker. He is now, of course. He loved the water section. A. loved the trains and the farm section.

On the weekend there was a break in the rain so all 4 of us went to this park. We enjoyed playing in the leaves. My DH practiced his videographer skills. He did a funny one that was supposed to be from C's perspective, checking everything out.

I'm feeling tired of the rain today. Also tired of the short days. Its going to get worse I know since the shortest day of the year isn't until December.

I miss the sun.Pin It
