She's a chocolate lab, she seems to be doing fine today.
Spent last night snuggling with Maggie. I spent the new year reading a book, go figure. One of my son's reference books,
How Come? It gives scientific answers to questions like Why is the sky blue? What causes rainbows? Why do giraffes have long necks? Why do stars twinkle? Its a pretty interesting book. I like it cause it doesn't dumb down the answers.
Chad had a client to take hunting this morning so when he gets home this afternoon I'm going to get ready and go deer hunting this evening (and probably freeze my patootie off in the process!)
It's really foggy here but a little warmer this morning, I didn't have to chip ice!!! Cleaned out the coop and the rabbit hutch but need a new tire for the wheel barrow, it's flat. Don't know when we are supposed to see my FIL about the land but if he doesn't call us by tomorrow I'm gonna show up at his house Sunday.
Granny is frustrated with the house construction. Apparantly one of the walls in the master bath has warped and has to be completely ripped out and redone before they can do the tile work. Once the tile is done in the house it will pretty much be done and ready to move in once the final inspections are done. She's getting anxious.
Taking it easy and the kids are watching a new Dora the Explorer movie. We turned the tv off last night and did a project with the kids and did some workbooks with them after dinner. Then we used some homemade picture flash cards and spread them all over the floor and played "I spy". I used index cards and cut out old magazine pictures and glued them to the index card and then printed the word for the picture under it and made my own flash cards. Helps them learn letter sounds, recognize letters, work on adjectives, lots of things. We also use them to group similar items together and then make charts.
We had a nice relaxing evening. One of the cable channels was having a marathon of America's Funniest Home Videos so we watched that for a while. Chad fell asleep early and Tyler crawled in the bed with him so I just slept in his bed. I can't lift him anymore and Chad was out of it so I left him. They were cute, Chad and Tyler with Tonka slam in the middle of them in our bed all rolled over on his back with his legs in the air.
