Philadelphia Chickens

We love Sandra Boynton. We have been buying her delightful books since Caleb was a baby. Yesterday, Marc came home with Philadelphia Chickens, a book and music cd by SB. We listened to it over breakfast this morning. What an absolute hoot! Great music, and lyrics that match all the delightfulness of Boynton's books. Songs include "Cows", "I Like to Fuss", and "Faraway Cookies" along with 17 others.

Looking on Amazon this morning, I found Rhinoceros Tap: 15 Seriously Silly Songs, Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-Roll Side, and Grunt: Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo also by Sandra Boynton.

Hooray! I think I'll go Dance Factory with some Chickens!

Cool Mom

I rarely get to be the cool parent. I'm with the kids too often, and my spontaneity and fun isn't always in their language. Yesterday I got to be the cool parent. We were stocking up at Sams Club, and I spontaneously bought Dance Factory for myself. I had some birthday money left over, had thought about this purchase a couple months ago, and there it was at Sams, staring at me from the shelf, whispering "you know you want to". So I did. I'll blame it on the moon phase combined with the pressure system of this storm.

It came with two dance mats that connect to our PS2. What I especially love is that somehow you can put your own music cd's in the PS2, and it formats a dance for you. So you can dance to your own music.

I'm especially excited because I began back on Weight Watchers this week and am participating with Move and Improve. Can you say 'fun activity options"?

All of us are having loads of active fun!

I was sitting at my desk, when I heard a little voice say "night-night, mommy." When I looked around the corner, this is what I saw.

Book Recommendation

I've been meaning to post this for a couple weeks. I'm currently reading The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships by Harriet Lerner. I love it and think that every woman should read it.

I preached today....

After a very long break from preaching, I preached today. To hear me, go here:
http://www.vcwaterville.org/sermons.htm. I felt pretty good about it. My homework is to listen to myself this week. I'll post how I feel after I listen it.

March Walmart Picts

We went to get cheap photos at Walmart this morning. They came out pretty well. The first one is the one we went for, the rest are just six extras, so we didn't go for perfection (as you will see). Click on the photo above to see the rest.

could it mean something?

I got this card from a friend yesterday.

And this was the proverb I found on a tea box as I cleaned out my tea cupboard today.

Think I should pay attention?

Tea

Since my sister got my fabulous Ingenuitea teapot, I have bought tea twice from Adagio.com. I got my second sampler today, the herbal sampler. I love Adagio, I love the tea! What a happy package to get this morning.
