Hanging by a Thread

Here is my solution for hanging up the hand towel in the powder room. Every time I pass it, the towel is on the floor. Boys: See towel. See towel hook. Place towel over bar. See Mommy happy! Since that isn't happening, I attached the towel to a clip (golf towels would work too) and now it stays off the floor. Please know, I take it down when we have company. I hope company can hang it up.

Soft as a Baby's Behind

A friend gave me a jar of this, and my skin is as soft as a baby's butt! It's all organic, smells wonderful and is made in the USA, Wisconsin in fact! I went on their website, http://www.trilliumorganics.com/ , and looked at all their other products. I am ordering more of the body polish, I might need the 64oz. professional size, and some lotion. There is a warning on the jar: Warning: Healthy skin can be habit forming. This has happened to me, my shower has doubled in length, and B is getting sick of me saying, "Feel my skin". If anyone wants to show off some skin this summer, this is a must have. Thanks, Kimberly, for one of my favorite things!

Finally!

J finally learned to ride his bike. We took the bikes over to Grandma and Grandpa B's house, because they have a flat sidewalk, and ran with him as he tried and tried. The entire time i am saying "Pdeal!", he is saying, "Don't let go, you won't let go, will you?" And, of course, I let go. Like the yellow gloves? Husbands idea of protection, and I just shook my head. Now J thinks he is an old pro. And S is asking when his training wheels will come off. Hello Emergency Room! That child will trip on air.

Good Night, Sleep Tight

S was having a hard time sleeping tonight, so I laid with him and asked him what he was going to dream about. He said, " Horsies, and doggies, and kitties, and the Kentucky Derby race and about being 8, then about being 11." The kid kills me, where does he get this stuff?! And to make it all the more funny, it is all said with no R's. He is dweaming about hosies and Dewby Waces. I weawwy wove him!

Hail to the Chief

Today was come as a historical figure from Colonial America. J went as George Washington, which I was very grateful for, since we already had the costume. That is him at the end of the row. He had to give a three minute speech on Washington, and we have been practicing for ten days. S is even able to answer lots of the material, so here's hoping he picks the same figure two years from now. I am so proud of J for all his hard work, Mrs. V said he did great, and all the information he soaked in. He has been interested in Washington for about 4 years, and got to take pictures of him at Mount Vernon and at Constitution Hall in Philadelphia. He was very proud of himself.
