It's Spring Break!!! A whole week of sitting on my couch, reading and sleeping. Okay, not really, but it sounds good. The kids are making lists of what they want to do this week. I think they have the whole week just about filled. Alyssa has a big "independent project" due at school right after the break so that is what she will be doing. This is the yearly project where last year she did the fashion timeline. She has decided to do a comparison of big cats this year. She is researching four and then making a habitat model for each. We'll see how it turns out. She a little nervous about sculpting the cats but I think she'll do fine. Just for the record, I'm REALLY tired of hearing all about lions, tigers, lynx and panthers.

I'm a little worried about Andrew over the break. He may not make it. He has decided that he doesn't have to listen to mom the first or second time she says something. After all, she may not really mean it when she says to put your toys in your room. I'm not used to this battle of wills over everything. He must get this from his daddy. Sweet little boy but he is definitely opinionated on everything he does and if something is not his idea, good luck getting him to do it right away. Any parenting tips would be greatly appreciated before I wring his cute little neck.

Oh for those of you wondering about our "R" snack. We chose Ritz crackers shaped like dinosaurs. Not the best but it was the night before and I wasn't going to spend alot of time on it. (unlike with the "L" snack) I did like dad's idea of the Rice Crispy Treats but it was too late. That would have been a big hit.

I am posting some very strange pictures this time just for my sisters. I know they are not very good but I couldn't resist. Does the show look familiar? I found a cable channel that shows THE NEW ZOO REVIEW on Saturdays! And yes, I remember all the words to the theme song. "It's quite an unusual thing, the animals talk and sing, with Doug and Emmy Jo. Everyday's a different showwwwwwwwww." Everybody now.....!!!
