Good Mail...


I usually reserve this blog for talk about funny things my boys say or do....with occasional guest appearances by other people's kids. I actually have a few people that read this blog, but don't read or know about my other blog. That is okay, since I have been writing in this blog more often than the other one. However, I got some Good Mail today and I wanted to thank Annie for sending it my way. To tie this in with the kid theme of this blog...I will tell you all that kids like Good Mail too! My boys love getting mail, but unfortunately they usually only get it around their birthdays. Here is a challenge for you to get your kids involved in some Good Mail as well!

I just arranged a pen-pal friendship between my best friend's little girl and a little girl I know up here. I think I'm more excited about it than they are though. =P

I might have figured out why your name is so familiar. My best friend knew a gal in Washington with the exact same name and might have mentioned her. Still really weird though!

Congrats on the good mail!

Kimberly: Where in Washington? I grew up in Washington. Of course I moved out of Washington once I got married which is when my name became what it is today. We did live in Washington for about six months after D finished college. There are a lot of other people with my name though...

nhYeah! Good Mail is great. I know there are a few people I've seen where their kids are good mail pals, a sort of pen pal if you will.

I wish I got more good old fashioned letters. Not emails, but handwritten letters. I should probably send more.

Let them be little

I made this video/slideshow about three years ago when I was first learning how to use video editing software. Its not award winning, but it makes me feel good, and it has all five of the boys in it. I hope you enjoy it!

What could be better than a free pet?

Two of them! A while back I wrote about our snail Claireford going the way of all the earth (i.e. he/she croaked). I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu

School Picture Time...

Image
We stopped ordering school pictures a couple of years ago. This was mostly because school pictures just plain SUCK. They rush the kids through there like cattle and as long as their eyes are open, the rest of the picture doesn't matter. The first year we moved here the photographer that does the school pictures forgot to clean his camera lens and every kid had this thing on their face that looked like a mole or dirt...EVERY kid. We sent our kids for retakes, but due to a miscommunication #1 didn't get to do the retake and we were stuck. I think we returned the pictures, but I am not sure. Aside from dirt encrusted lenses, there are the lovely vacant expressions, weird smiles and yes, even a snarl once that was deemed worthy by the photographer to be printed into school pictures. I haven't even gotten to the cost yet. The package we would normally purchase costs about $24.00 I can print the same number of pictures (minus the 8 useless mini pictures that are about the size o
