Happy Birthday Jamesy

 Dear Jamesy,

If I could bottle up your little five-year-old self I would.  I would bottle up your giggle.  Then, I could open it up years down the road.  It would make me laugh it is so contagious.  I would also bottle up the light in your eyes.  When I open that bottle up, it will help me trust more and be corageous.

 How could I not bottle up your enthusiasm?  It is energizing.  And your happiness is calming.   Your little five-year-old tears are sweet and tender, and your smell...it makes me want to muzzle right up in your neck and breathe the fresh chill.

I don't know how I was blessed to be your mom.  The depth of your soul is so great.  I am in awe of how much life is packaged in such a cute little boy.  I'm so proud to be "James' mom".

 

 I hope all your birthday wishes and dreams come true little one.

love,

Mom

SWAT

 I looked out the window and what did I see?

Two SWAT police hiding behind a tree.

All I can say is our castle is well protected.

Ain't no bad guy comin' round here.

If there was, he'd be met by a very menacing Trio bazooka gun,

an airsoft gun,

and two tender heart SWAT police.

Well, not tender hearted enough to not shoot each other today with the airsoft gun.

All in the name of "tactical weapons training".

I'm Back

I only have excuses for not blogging.

I'll spare you the list.

Check out James' face.

It just makes me laugh.

He didn't ask for seconds?

B is for Bacteria

 We are harvesting,

 growing,

 and discovering bacteria.

There are 10 petri dishes sitting in my kitchen growing all sorts of stuff.

Dinner anyone?

CSI Woburn II

 

Did you hear about the boy who got suspended from school for eating his pop-tart into the shape of a gun?

I bet ballistic training is not part of his school curriculum.

 

 

Food Storage Experiment

I finally did it!

I waxed cheese.

I will peel off the wax in six months and test it.

If I die, the blog will end.

If I don't die, we will have real cheese if we ever need to dip into our food storage.
