SUGAR AND SPICE

She's not even born yet and already I know she will be beautiful.  Just look at all her girl cousins, it's in the genes I tell ya!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I have been having a difficult time trying to upload photos onto my blog from my computer. Apparently, blogger does not care for macs.  It has been terribly annoying and has put me off posting anything.  It just doesn't seem right to blog without an accompanying picture, call me weird.   Anyway... I have figured out a way around the problem and will hopefully be more diligent at posting regularly.

Today we celebrated our son-in-law's birthday.  He's goofy and kind of goofy looking too but we love him (despite what he and Kere say) and we love that he is a part of our family.   Happy Birthday Ben!

And now you understand why pictures are so important!

THE TALE OF THREE BAD MICE

When my children were young I would read them 'The Tale of Two Bad Mice' by Beatrix Potter.  They loved the story of Hunca Munca (weirdest character's name I have ever come across), and Tom Thumb, two little mice that were quite naughty, marauding through a little girl's dollhouse.  I imagine that Miss Potter  was writing from her own experience (as all good authors do).

I also have aspirations to become a children's author (not really) and I have inspiration for my first book.  It too will be about mice and I already have a title.

That's right, there's three less mice in the house all caught with just one, yes one, trap.  *wicked smile*  (insert evil laugh)
