Time for some checkers....kids love this HUGE game from Cracker Barrel that "Bubby" bought for them.  We also made cookies and had Sammie's Gym class today!

Tuesday - getting back slowly

It's Tuesday and a rainy day, which is fine with me, because I really need to get some "housekeeping" items checked off my "TO DO" list today! Kids were back into the swing of our school routine, slow but sure. (Stopping the TV during the day is always a challenge after having so much over the holiday) Started some sentence structure and learning about Nouns today! ] What we read... Great book this time of year!  Talks about cleaning out the rooms and narrowing down just certain toys to keep. Making room for more! Have a blessed day!

This was the sky this morning off my deck...colors were indescribable.  The Polar Express is playing at the 4-D Theater at the Zoo.  We saw it last year and again today!   This picture was not taken with a zoom lens. This is how close you can get  to these apes.  Only a few inches of plexaglass between us. Silverback - massive, in awe of him. Right after the picture of the Silverback behind Zachary, Zachary moved and the ape turned to the glass and started pounding on his chest. I would have thought we were in a movie. SOOO COOL!  A little on the scary side.... I p
