Super Cool Giveaway

One of my very favorite blogs where I get super cute crafty ideas to do with my little ones around here is No Time for Flashcards. They are having a GREAT giveaway right now of a Melissa and Doug stack and sort board. B would totally love this. They have something similar at the library that he always goes for. I can't say enough about how much I love Melissa and Doug products. We have several of them and you can always count on quality with their products.

You can click here to visit the blog and enter yourself to win the stack and sort board if I don't win it first! But while you are there, spend some time looking through all of her way cool ideas!

One of the prettiest animals at our zoo, the Peacock. Or as B likes to call it, the he-hocks. He is scared to death of them. He thinks they are going to bite him. I don't know why he is so scared, they have not chased him or tried to bite him ever. I even fed one some popcorn one time while waiting for the train trying to show him they were okay.

When I was little we had a house down the road from us that raised peacocks. I can remember we always could hear them mewing.

So tonight B and I went with my MIL to hubby's wrestling meet. I believe this was held tonight at the capitol of high school girl's with babies. I wanted to follow them in to the bathroom and offer to take their babies if they didn't want them. I know, crazy right? But sometimes I just can't stand seeing all of them with babies and not me with one. It's. not. fair.

In other news... B got to ride the school bus home with his dad, the other coaches, and the team. He was so excited to do this. I was almost teary because my little boy is growing up! It was only about a 25 minute ride home, but he was such a big boy. He wanted to do this last year and we told him he could when he was older, and now that he is 4 he has informed us that he is OLDER. Don't we know it.

TGIF in 34 minutes. Hooray. I love Fridays.

Congratulations Dan and Tara!

If you have not read about Tara and Dan's amazing story, check them out here. Be sure to tell them congratulations while you are there!

Twilight what?

Confession: I'm really not into the Twilight Books/ Movie thing that is getting all the hoopla. You know why? Vampires. Really not into them. That is also all I really know about the book/ series. I have not had any interest in reading the book (books actually I think. I think it is more than one... I have not even paid too much attention to know this for sure) Another reason is that the book or books were written for teenagers/ young adult. Again, not usually my choice of reading.

But... Lots of people are talking about the book. Lots of people are talking about the movie. Friends are talking about the book. Friends are talking about the movie. People are blogging about it. Mandi was reading the book the other day. Laura said her and Julie went to the movie. Laura is now reading the book. Krystal posted it under her favorite books on her blogger profile.

You know I want to be like everyone else. Just kidding, but sometimes I think they might be on to something. Should I go for it? I really don't think I'm going to be into a vampire story AT ALL, but all the cool kids are doing it....

Happy New Year

I wanted to post some pics for ya'll but my camera is B-R-O-K-E. It is still actually taking pictures, it is just the little port that is broke for my USB cable. The computer will not detect the camera when I plug it in. This happened last year. In January to be exact. It was still under warrenty so lets hope it still is this time. Other wise- watch out, I am going to be M-A-D!

Really though, I am bummed. I wanted to share some funny pics. Well, not that funny so don't get your hopes up to much, but a little funny.

How was your first day of 2009?
