Happy 50th!

to Bubble Wrap. Everyone loves that "pop" .......but I don't remember playing with it as a kid. Maybe my mom was just being safe, not giving me plastic as a toy, but I so would've made my Barbie a dress out of it...or a life preserver to wear when riding in her shoebox boat:)

Woods Hole Aquarium

Another cold day....so we headed to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Aquarium. The kids loved the fish...so many...so unusual, and so interesting to look at. One other grandparent with a granddaughter there...so the 3 kids had their own explanation and front row(even though we stood outside in the cold wind for that part) to the seals being fed.
The big guy is what a 35 yr. old lobster looks like!





Touch tank...they loved the starfish and how they could touch the horseshoe crabs.




my favorite fish!

Who is smarter?

One of the sharks that scared all the seals out of the water and was tagged here in September has been spotted off the coast of Jacksonville.

Tyler checks out the birds at the feeders.
Jennie doesn't have to deal with any crowd:)

Checking out the shells.


Jennie examined the water dripping from the top of the arbor.....one drop at a time.



drip...drip....drip....




Ty checks out the ice and snow.





We hid behind the grapevine to watch the birds at the feeder....but they heard us...no surprise.

just a quick call?

Apparently James has been stepping out of class to go into his backpack to "take a call" on his Power Rangers toy cell phone we gave him for Christmas:)

Will he remember?

James ,of course, remembers his little girlfriend in Big "D", but wonder if he'll recognize any other places when he goes to visit! Have fun James!

OK...I'll admit it...




I've watched it since Season 1...when people didn't tell one another they did!

Which is better?

The Slanket
or the Snuggie?
I am hearing Slanket people saying theirs is far better. I still use a blanket....so old-fashioned!

The things he says!


James comes out with some of the lines you'd like to say to people, but don't dare. For example, when asked to do an activity or help baking, the latest is " no thanks, not interested!" How many times would you have loved to say that line to someone?!
One line I loved hearing him say the other day when we were meeting Mom in the car "I have to start window-looking for Mom!"
And when he says " I love you!" you just know it comes from the bottom of his heart! That is for sure! I love you,too James...and see you soon!!!

Cracking Up Cousins!

Tyler and James enjoying the Bob the Builder website. A silly animated cat comes across the screen during the game and this is what they did each time they saw it:)))
