Earth Hour

The kids took a bath by candlelight during earth hour. I guess it means that I don't see the dirt ring until morning. We only have candles, cell phone, and laptop's glow to light our way.

Sweet Kids

My sweet kids went with Grammy to the JellyBelly factory.

Like how did a giant tree get into your library? Take a look at the Stanislaus County Library "Dominion" blog to see the three minute video.

The tree is really cool! It totally changes the feeling of the room and to quote many patrons "it's magical".

After Brenna's recital we stopped by in our fancy clothes to take some pictures under the tree. And around the tree and just the tree. . . Um, can you tell I like the tree? I had StoryTime earlier that week and I performed all tree stories. It was sooooooooo fun!

Untangeling the lights!

A Hermione Moment

The kids have been enjoying trickster stories lately. Rowan's teacher read a different version of Brer Rabbit & the tar baby. He called it Fox, Rabbit, and the Gummy man. He had a blast acting it out at dinner time. I've been bringing home stories about the spider trickster, Anansi, from the library.  Therin was reading Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock this morning in the van on the way to school.  Midway through the story Brenna stopped him and said, "Therin you need to say Uh-nahn-SEE not uh-NANCY, Uh-naaahhhnnn-SEEEE."

Watch out!

For the Rowan shuffle . . .

OK so just keep your eyes peeled. I'm going to have to either blog from my phone or flickr. Trust me, Rowan is too cute to miss!

Future tatoo artist

Red sharpie on Brenna. At least it's only on her today. I'm going to give Purell a try for removing her tats.
