Messy Life!

I mean literal mess this time! As you can see, L had a fine time emptying the tissue box yesterday and my big girls unloaded a ziplock bag of shredded cheese on the dining room table! What fun! I forgot to take a picture of the MOON SAND explosion ALL OVER the bathroom, and no that is not an exaggeration. There was not a half of a centimeter left uncovered in the girls bathroom! (If you have not had the opportunity to buy your children Moon Sand, now is the time. I believe ALL FAMILIES should have to experience this fun! For those of you with grandkids and neices and nephews, I highly recommend this outragously messy toy!) Moon sand is the consistency of wet sand. It won't dry out. It also won't suck up in a vacuum cleaner, which means that you must use wet rags. Yes, we tried the broom to no avail. The sand stuck to the broom and hence spread the mess everytime you moved the broom! Oh, yes! That was the mess to capture for eternity on digital camera and I was too mad to think of taking pictures. Oh well! So goes! I guess it was only a tad worse than the hot cheetos that are now ground into the seats and floor of the back of my van...

I received a FABULOUS card in the mail from Sara! A friend of mine was over with her son and was MOST IMPRESSED with me getting mail from TURKEY! You really have to understand how far out we live to understand the significance of life outside of the Village of Rodessa! Sara, I do love you dearly, and miss you terribly. I would say come and see me next time you are passing through, but I would have to say passing through the UNITED STATES! I know you are having fun! By the way, what does Yeni Yilda...ozgurlugun tadini cikarmaya devam mean? I hope it is something that is not too racy for me to be listing on my blog! HAHA! I sincerely loved my card and feel like the most horrible friend in the world for not being able to call or to have written to you before now! Enjoy your fun time halfway around the world and know that you have all the time in the world for life, so living it now is best! Be careful, and have a drink for me! (Do they have good drinks over there? Do share! Oh, and the egg thing was way funny! It sounded like something these elderly country folks around here would do!)

AC is taking piano lessons now. She is learning the half and whole notes and her first two fingers! We are so proud of her! She really likes taking lessons and practices, OFTEN...as in every day... If I can ever figure out how to put sound on this thing I will record her practicing so that you can enjoy the hour of it we enjoy daily! No, we really are proud of her and are glad she is enjoying it!

I hope all is well and messy in your own lives! Mine may need a bath, but I wouldn't trade it for the world... well, maybe a weekend in Turkey...
