So this afternoon my oldest comes up to me with his new issue of the Lego magazine and points to a page. I ask what it is he wants to show me, and he says, "Look, a coupon."
It's for Legoland. In California.
I said, "We're not going to California."
His response..."But MooOOooom, we've never been to California!"
So I googled the driving directions to the location and proceeded to explain to him just how far away this place was from Georgia and just how much gas costs these days and how long it would take to drive there (because DH is out of frequent flier miles for now and once he's built them back up we're going back to Hawaii, not Legoland).
An hour later he's taking a survey on what mode of transportation I would prefer in th future: starships or transporters. He seems to be under the impression that transporters would be free.
Meanwhile, the little one fell asleep in the living room before he even had lunch today. I don't think he's feeling well.
About Me
- Amy
- Hi! I'm Amy. I'm a S.A.H.M. of 2 boys, 3 dogs, and a multitude of froglets in my tiny garden pond. We are a homeschooling family (the boys - there's not much hope for those dogs and the frogs do quite well for themselves). I'll getting around to finding a purpose for my blog eventually. Right now it's just a random collection of thoughts and rants about parenting, mostly.

mini catastrophes at our house
Yesterday was not such a great day. It was good in that DH and DS#1 got home from their third overnight camping trip with the cub scouts. No one got lost, and as far as we know, no one got poison ivy, even though the campground is fairly well overgrown with the stuff (and I won't be going back ther because I'm terribly allergic to it).
Unfortunately, at some point yesterday morning (probably before I managed to rouse myself out of the bed) our youngest realized he could open the bathroom door all by himself and got into his brother's Sea Monkey tank. He either dropped it or set it on the floor. It landed right side up, but about half of the water was splashed out of it, and there were dead Sea Monkeys on the counter top and in the tank. There were a few still swimming around in the tank so we filled it back up and fed them. There are about five or six now, down from twelve or more. Needless to say...Colin was Not Happy. Hopefully there are eggs in there that will hatch soon.
The other catastrophe was that while DH was keeping an eye on DS#2 outside, DS#2 (Rhyon) sat down in an ant bed. He has ant bites everywhere. He also was Not Happy (can't blame him).
Today we're back in our routine. Colin has decided to like homeschooling again this week. I think he is even moodier than I am (and I have girl hormones I can blame).

This is a test. This is only a test. Please do not panic.
I am posting with the Blog It app on Facebook. If this works...I may just have to get over my pique with LJ because Blog It won't work with Journalfen. :(
Oi! See you! Come play with me on Facebook!
(if only there were some type of fanfiction app on Facebook, it would be perfect, and I would never have to go anywhere else)
