• Mid-week Post

  Yesterday, the boys’ new booster seats arrived.  I put them together, then installed them in the car.  Now I have their old car seats sitting on my porch, wondering what to do with them.

  I finally got around to joining Netflix over the weekend.  I don’t know what I was waiting for!  I’ve watched so many movies online since joining (at least 8), and it’s so cool to go to the mailbox and have a movie waiting for me.  Oh yeah, and the kids like it too.

  I signed up for Freecycle again.  I’m going to try and get rid of some of my books (*gasp!*).  I have too many and I hate the thought of throwing them away.  What I can’t freecycle away I’ll donate to Goodwill.

  Took mom out for seafood tonight.  It was a belated Mother’s Day dinner.  The crab legs were wonderful!  Then, we came back to my place, where I had sliced strawberries, vanilla ice cream, angel food cake, and whipped cream waiting.  YUM!

  I’m reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to Sebastian at bedtime.  We’re a little over half-way through it.  We’ve just arrived in the Emerald City and had our meetings with the Great and Terrible Oz where we learned that we must travel to the land of the Winkies and destory the Wicked Witch of the West.  How this story doesn’t give him nightmares, I’ll never know!  He seems to really enjoy it though.  We’re reading the original unabridged version.  I’m thinking any version I read as a child must have been sanitized, as I don’t remember some of the more gruesome aspects (the Tin Woodman severing the head of the Wildcat who was chasing the Queen of the Mice for instance).  Still, it’s very exciting and very entertaining to a six year old boy.

  I don’t have much left to say.  I’ll be logging off of here to begin sorting through my books and deciding which to give away and which to keep.  Hoping to post something more interesting soon.

  From my home to yours,

  Andrea
