I’ve just been a busy little bee this morning! I had an 8:00 AM conference at Nathan’s school to go over his I.E.P. for next year, so I woke up extra-early to get both Kaitlyn and him fed and dressed, bundled them into the MomVan and turned the key. CLICK. CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK. Huh? FRAK!
Got them both out of the car, Kaitlyn wailing “Nooo! I wanna go to Nathan’s school and PWAY in the CWASSWOOM!” Called the school, profuse apologies. Now, technically, we could have walked to the school from my house, it’s just down the sidewalk and around the corner, takes about 7 minutes to walk it, but it was already 8:00 and we were going to be late, I knew there wouldn’t be enough time to go over everything before school starts at 8:40. Called Allstate Motor Club, who sent out a very nice young man in a big shiny red truck to jumpstart my car. He saw Kaitlyn watching us from the living room window and told me about the two year old foster child he and his wife are adopting, aww.
Then, I decided to write a post about David Cook winning American Idol, and next thing I knew I was searching for a photo of him and decorating it in Photobucket and making the image in the post before this one, titled David Cook Wins American Idol. If you want to leave your thoughts about that, please click the link and leave a comment! I LOVES me some David Cook, people.
After THAT, I wrote a review for Parent Bloggers Network about a really cool photo sharing site called Kinzin. It’s free to sign up, and what you do is upload photos of your kids and then they send ten prints a month to three different addresses, at $2.99 a month each but the third one is free, so you get all three for $5.98 a month. It’s such a DEAL. Plus you can invite friends and family to view a page for each of your kids where you can post updates of what they are doing, there’s a Facebook application as well as a Flickr group. So whether your friends and family are online or not, you can show them the latest photos of your little darlings! Please click here to read my whole review on MomReviews.
AND, I finally finished watching The Muppet Show-The Complete Third Season
, which I received for review. The third season has got some of the best guest stars of the whole show, including including Roy Clark, Pearl Bailey, Jean Stapleton, Harry Belefonte, Danny Kaye, Cheryl Ladd, Raquel Welch, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Sylvester Stallone. And, of course, all of the Muppets, including Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Scooter, Rowlf, Crazy Harry, Beaker, and Animal.
It also has a great Bonus Features, including a rare look at the puppeteers, and the dog food commercials that first introduced the character of Rowlf the dog. Just remember, The Muppet Show was a musical variety show, so the episodes are mostly musical numbers, something that is pretty much unheard of these days. There are plenty of hilarious skits though, like the classic “Pigs in Space” and “Swedish Chef”, plus plenty of one-liners that will probably go right over your kids’ heads while you are cracking up. It’s a trip down memory lane, watching The Muppet Show again, I think you’ll like it!
So that’s been my day so far, and it’s not even noon. Whew!
You’ll need a large plastic bottle, a long twig, a long piece of string, rope, or twine, and birdseed. Punch holes on both sides of the bottle and thread the twig through for perches. Punch a small hole in the bottom of the bottle. Tie a knot at the end of your piece of string and thread it through the top of the bottle and out through the hole in the bottom for hanging. Fill with birdseed and screw the cap on tightly. You can decorate your bottle with nontoxic paint, glitter, pieces of moss, or anything you recycle from nature.
