New Blinds

So we got new blinds today and the best part for the kids was the bubble wrap that the blinds came in.  Haley and CJ had a blast jumping on the bubbles and popping them.  I thought Lily would be scared by the loud noise, but she wasn't scared at all.  Exactly the opposite, actually.  Check out the video.

Kid talk

"Mom, it's boiling out there. I almost died, it's so hot." It's all of 55 degrees outside, and Haley is wearing her snow boots, courdoroy pants and a long sleeve t-shirt. She just finished some cookies and milk and is taking her straw outside saying, "straws are really good things to play with." C.J., of course, has to follow suit. I wonder what they will do with those straws...
