Overheard the other Morning

Ci, "Handsome Boy. Handsome Boy... where are you?"
Z, "I'm right here, Princess."

Ok... I knew Ci was into the whole princess role playing thing... but the fact that Zach played along was quite hilarious to me.

Sela's Giggly Ways

Last month we took the kids to the Discover Museum and let them play. Sela was mezmorized by the squirrel puppet on my hand, and "fed it acorns" for quite a long time. Everytime the acorn disappeared into the puppets mouth she would squeal and laugh. She is so very happy.

It was fun to make a LO... it has been a while...
Not loving the colors of the LO... but I had to match her outfit.

DID and Ice Cream

Hi All;
Happy Easter! Snapped this picture of the kids the other day - they seem to get cuter every day to me!

Zach has been at my parents' houuse for the last couple of days so it has just been Mark and Sela and I. I thought I would get a million things dones... but had to spend a few hoursa closing our bank account and opening a new one - as someone got our account # and started paying their bills from our account - $2000 later. I said to Mark... we should have more $ in here. Luckily the bank was helpful... but how frustrating.

On my friend Tez's site... she had a link that talked about what flavour ice cream you are - you take a little quiz... here I am...



I signed up for the new Jessica Sprague class... I'm SOOOO excited. Can't wait!

Happy Easter Everyone!!

Princess Bed?

Ok... I know you ladies LOVE to shop... so we are looking for a big girl bed for Sela. It is time to move her out of the crib. She wants a Princess bed... and truth be told... I always envied my friends who had the swirly white bedroom sets when I was a kid.
BUT I don't want to get something she can't stand as she gets a little bit older. We were thinking maybe a simple 4 poster canopy bed, kind of like the picture (with nice beddding though!) and we can a sheers on the side to soften it.
Any ideas will be happily accepted.

On the reCREATE front, The big grant I was waiting to open up opens this week... and I have a meeting with the Superintendent of the Office of Education for the School District. Cross your fingers that goes well!

Some Recent Snow Pictures

Ugh... We have been passing aroung an ugly cough in our house. The kids are over it but Mark and I are still hacking away. I'm so tired of coughing!
These pictures are from a few weeks ago when we went to the snow. My parents are so great. Mark had to work the weekend, so we took the kids up to the snow. Zach was scared to sled at first... and decided to walk down the hill. I was getting impatient (It was alot more dangeous walking down the hill full of sledders... but my mom stepped in and eased him into the sled like only a Nama could.) Meanwhile Ci had my dad on the other side of the hill saying, "Again, Again!" This was about an hour from my house in the Sierras.
My dad was just coming off that bad cold and really should have been in the lounger at home. BUT.. even though he was tired, I'm sure he was glad he went. Fun was had by all. Too bad Mark had to work.

So Sorry!

I am so sorry I have been away. I have been wading though information about environmental waste. I came across some information on what I thought was a pretty harmless routine many of us do - drinking bottled water - and learned some amazing stuff...

Here is a link to my other blog to tell you more.

I will be scrapping soon... I miss it, and miss my playground friends too.
