dragonfly days

we won!

A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway over at The Heart of the Matter blog for a science kit and we won!  Jack was thrilled to be able to choose which kit we would get.  He chose the rocket kit, of course.  He checked the mail three times a day waiting for it to arrive. You should have seen how excited he was to find it on our doorstep one morning!

 

As soon as dad got home that day they got to work. Well dad got to work. :)

Dad did a great job and made it look really cool.

Jack was a little nervous, so dad set it off the first time.

After watching dad and deciding it didn't lok too dangerous, Jack gave it a try.

He declared it the coolest thing ever. :)

 

Thanks HOTM! 

 

and the winner is...

Kamas! I'll put it with the ballet slippers for next time we cross paths.

wish I knew

What kind of flowers are these? Anyone know?

Talisa has been into watercolors this week. Unfortunately the only ones we have are these. But I've never seen anyone do so much with them.

I am loving the library next to the gym. So far all my books have made it back and we've been by twice to check out more.

From today's take:

More Smoothies for Life: Satisfy, Energize, and Heal Your Body (Paperback)

Comfort Food

Mommy Teach Me

Since I'm on a fiction kick and enjoying it, I though I would share.  So another giveaway is in order. Leave a comment and one luck winner will get my copy of Everyone is Beautiful. The catch is when you are done reading it you must pass it on. The winner will be chosen on Monday evening, so be sure to enter before then.

And to entice you, once again the excerpt from the book:

So a friend is having a giveaway. I like the idea so I'm jumping on board. So leave a comment and I'll choose three lucky, random people to receive a yet to be named prize. I'm thinking either something for preschool/homeschool, a book for you or your kids, or a set of handmade note cards made just for you. That may all change and I'll end up giving you a crocheted potholder, of course I'll have to learn how to crochet first.  Go ahead comment. I may give something to all five of you. ;o)
