    Conversations with a Bug

    June 23, 2005 - By 

    Drew went bug catching today. We keep getting these little black millipede/caterpillar like bugs in the house, but they die real fast. I guess because of the cool climate inside. Anyway, so he decided he wanted to get some of these. He made a contraption with 2 different size plastic lids. Here’s what he said to the bug: “Hey little bug. I’ve trapped you in your new home. I don’t know if you’re gonna die. Momma says your gonna die if I keep you inside. I don’t really know if that’s true. I think you’re pretty cool. I think bugs…

    Summer

    June 23, 2005 - By 

    This summer is flying by like it always does! I’ve been juggling time with my kids with trying to get stuff done for work! I just love people who say that teachers get off 3 months for summer and yada-yada-yada! I know that I only get 9 weeks off and 1 to 2 of those weeks, I’m usually in workshops all day! The rest of the summer I’m busy trying to make games, write lesson plans, look for activities, make study sheets, learn new curriculums, etc. etc!!!! So I digress. Anyway the time is going by too fast. My life…

    15 Months, Already?

    June 22, 2005 - By 

    This reminded me that I didn’t post about T baby’s 15 month appointment the other day! He’s 24 lbs. 11 oz. and 31 inches long, which about 50th percentile. The doctor asked if he was walking and climbing and going all over the place. I told him he wasn’t walking yet. I said that he was just taking 3 or 4 steps here or there. He said well that’s walking:-) I was like well he’s not walking across the room yet. He said not to worry and that he’ll be walking very soon. I guess he could tell by the…

    Update on My Uncle in Race Across America!

    June 21, 2005 - By 

    I just listened to the Audio blog on my Uncle Guy’s Racing Blog. The race is underway and Guy started the race with a 2 and half hour leg! Then, Shanna took over for her leg of the race and then Guy will have a 5 hour leg. They’re doing tests after each leg and Guy had lost 4 lbs. during the 1st leg, which is not good. They think he wasn’t drinking enough so they hopefully have that problem remedied! You can listen for your self here (blog removed) if you’d like!! Go Team Endorphins!!!

    Last Minute Roadtrip

    June 7, 2005 - By 

    Here’s what we did on our trip over Memorial Day. Friday at lunch Rob kept asking me what I wanted to do over the weekend. I didn’t really have any ideas. He mentioned maybe go to Savannah. I said that sounded fun since that’s somewhere he’s always wanted to take me and I’ve always wanted to go! Well, I had to come home and first get a sub for sunday school. I did that, but still wasn’t sure if we’d go because I looked on the internet for hotels and there weren’t very many. So when he got home at…
