Happy New Year from my Crew. We are having such a wonderful holiday, I just have not found time to blog. Hopefully I will be able to find sometime in the new year. Honey bought these fun Nerf dart guns for them all to play with. The darts have Velcro on the tips and I have found them in the plants, on shelves, and under the table. A good time has been had by all!!

Eugene H. Peterson: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society
Life changing. A study of The Psalms of Ascent. IF there were more than 5 stars, this would get 10. (*****)
Blue Like Jazz
Excellent in the line, the male Anne Lamont. (*****)
Donna Tartt: A Secret History
Also for mature audiences but a wonderful mystery and look at human nature. (*****)
Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
Another should read. I really had some preconceived ideas about immigrants and Middle Eastern people that have been changed. (*****)
Jennifer Weiner : Good in Bed
Mature audiences only but a good story. (****)
Larry Watson: Montana 1948
(****)
Cornelia Funke: Inkheart
(****)
Michael Crichton: Airframe
Have you ever gotten half way through a book and realized you'd read it before?
Jhumpa Lahiri: The Namesake
Loved this and am not sure why. It is a universal story about discontent and finding contentment. Descriptions are brilliant. I could smell the curry. (*****)
Looks like they are having a grand time.
Happy new year!

Now, boys, I'm glad to see you are dressed and ready for math class.
First question ~ If toddler fired two darts in the planter, and three in the cookie jar, and Butch retreived one for his own use and ate a cookie, and then Sundance put all of Toddlers darts in his own pouch, and then Toddler told Mommy that wasn't fair and got another turn and this time hit Daddy Honey ... How many cups of tea would a mommy have to drink to stay sane? :)
An extra bonus 30 points to the child that draws it.

Miss ROxie, You crack me up. WHat you can't tell is that the vests have targets on the front and we worked on adding up our scores all weekend. HSers will find a math lesson ANYWHERE!!!
And Mommy drank 4 cups of tea!!
Illustration coming....

And I was distraught over the cap gun Santa put in Little Buddy's Christmas stocking!! What was he thinking!!? I guess being a sister of one sister and having 3 other girls in the house besides myself now keeps me sane for my little boy. God knew you could handle 3 boys MUCH better than I could!
Oh, by the way, there are 4 neatly folded piles of clean laundry perched on the back of my sofa! (thought of you):-) Now, how long will it stay there and how long before it ends up back in the laundry baskets to be washed AGAIN . . . ?? At least boys put DIRTY clothes in the dirty clothes. Girls just wear things an hour or so and THINK they're dirty . . . :-)
