Gobble to Goop from my son (five-years-old)- Skyscrapers and Bears

My dragon

Kangaroos you might see in Africa. Sky airplanes like to fly in the sky, just like a skyscraper is so tall that it can touch the sky. An airplane can fly right over a skyscraper. Jump and do things like a kangaroo.

Come out little bear the sun is shining. One morning a little bear came out while the sun was shining. It was a hot summer morning. The monarch butterflies were flying to Mexico. The owls were sound asleep, so were the bats in the trees. The squirrels were picking up nuts to eat and the little bear was in the water to catch some fish to eat. Someone was watching the little bear. The bear didn't know that someone was watching him. He went into his cave with a rock door. He snuggled and cuddled all up into his little grass bed. His bed was little, because the bear was little. All of a sudden he heard wolf steps coming outside his door and he locked his door, so that the wolves could not eat the little bear. And he went right to sleep after he set his alarm clock for the next morning.

My Children

Have you ever had children that argue about setting the table or doing the dishes? I have a five-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl that argue over who gets to help me. I have to be honest, I love it. It is nice that they are working around the house to help me out. I have spent many years doing all the dishes and I am having a nice break. I can't wait until they are old enough to do the cooking. I know they will be good cooks. All of this help they are giving will us to be a closer family. I thank God that I have such wonderful children.

Trying something new!!

I have decided to be a little wild and try growing some of the lettuce with the chives and tomatoes. I had to get the foam wet, so they would begin to sprout. I am not sure if they are going to or not, because there are not growing nutrients in the water right now.









Today I must cut the chives. They are almost going to reach the light again.

Newberry Medal Books

I have decided to print out a list of Newberry Medal books, cross out the ones I have read and then read all of the ones I have not read thus far in my adult life.

The first book I am going to start reading is The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon. This was the first Newberry Medal book in 1922. The edition is so thick. It does have eleven chapters that have been added by John Merriman. The total number of pages including the index is 674.

I will be telling you later on what it has been like to read this book and if it is an easy read or not. It is for children, so I hope for me it is a quick read. I have noticed though that in this century the books have gotten much easier. I will tell you about those when I get there.

Have a wonderful day.

The book "Mommy Wars" by Leslie Morgan Steiner

As a stay-at-home mother I just had to read Mommy Wars, by Leslie Morgan Steiner. I wanted to get see what other mothers say about working or staying at home. I thought she chose twentysix very intersting women. These women have done many different things, like working from home, working outside the home and not working at all. I would have liked to see more stories written by mothers who did not work at all.

My children are recently three and five. I have started the blogs I have, because I would like to earn enough money so that their father does not have to work so much and he can pursue his own dreams. I guess I am now one of the work-at-home mother's even though I am only earning a couple of dollars a day. If there is anyone who knows of some good ideas where I can earn more money with my blogs it would be greatly appreciated. I grew up being able to eat all three meals with my father and I would like my children to have the same chance.

If you would like to read "Mommy Wars" go to your local library. This book was copyrighted in 2006 and published by Random House. It has 331 pages, but is a quick read. There are not as many wars in this book as you would think, the title is deceptive. Enjoy.

New pictures of tomatoes

Someone just send me a message saying they would like to see some pictures of the plants. I was planning on doing that today. I was just trying to figure out how to take them, so I don't use up all the space in Blogger. I have now figured out a good way, so we will be able to post more pictures for you.

Chives

I had to cut the chives today. I did not know they could grow so fast. I think they grew three inches since I last cut them. They do taste good. They added a lot to my grilled cheese sandwich. I am really looking forward to deciding what to do when the chives need to be cut again. Does anybody have any ideas on what to put them in? I would welcome anything. Thank you. The AeroGarden is great!!!!
