Oh how I love thee. Let me count the ways....

This was from a kindergarten teacher who had the students create this page about how much they loved their mothers. This child obviously loves his mother very much!

Mrs. Arty is at it again!

It's sexy penguins time!

Delivery Men

I am a big believer of on line shopping. In my opinion if you can't get it online you probably didn't need it anyway. I have recently discovered that Walmart will ship almost anything to you for free. Since we live almost 30 miles from the nearest Walmart and with the price of gas it is far cheaper for me to order household products and have them delivered straight to my house, then to drive all the way to the nearest Walmart. So during Christmas break I put in a large order for dog food, kitchen cleaner, ink cartridges and a few other odds and ends.
I saw the delivery truck pull up to my house a few days before Christmas. I went to meet the delivery man at my front door and found him trying to body block my packages from the prying eyes of about half a dozen neighborhood kids. Only one of those kids belonged to me but my house seems to be very popular with the neighbor kids. Partly because I have the biggest yard and partly because we have a trampoline. So anyway the delivery man was trying to hide my boxes from the kids. When I opened the door he told he was sorry and was trying to hide them from the kids. I said "don't worry, it's just dog food." We then heard the kids collectively groan and turn around to head back to the trampoline. Like I told my daughter later, "I always have the good stuff delivered to school."
