Brother and Sister?

OK, well it's no secret I'll probably never have any more children, but on this day it was amazing as I watched and snapped pics of Spencer and Bubbles(the dog) playing as if they were a brother and sister. It's amazing the connection Spencer makes with Bubbles and how loving Bubbles is to him. Spencer hits @ Bubbles and Bubbles takes it, never once getting mad or upset with him....that would be 1 difference between 2 "real" siblings. Bubbles licks, kisses, nips and gives Spencer all kind of attention. On this Saturday, I thought it was so cute how Spencer was trying to urge Bubbles into his bedroom to play. He would try and lure her by flinging a sock @ her then take off down the hall. Bubbles didn't follow. Finally Spencer got her in there and I left them alone for awhile and then went to check on them. I opened the door and there they were both on top of his bed "wrestlin'" around and Spencer laughing out loud. What a memory and what a thought.....even though Spencer will probably never have a sibling, he has one in his doggy, Bubbles, who loves him and us unconditionally always!

It always seem like I put off things.....and boy I did this time. I should have started cooking with Spencer years ago, but on the weekend time just seems to get away from me with the "have to do" things...you know, cleaning, washing, organizing, folding clothes, ironing clothes, cooking, groceries.....the list goes on. So by the time I have time to cook with Spencer I'm wore out! On our snow day I made a decision that yes this day was the day we were making something....no matter what. So I said @ 10am we'd start, I do better with a schedule. So we did and what fun we had. One of his classmates for Christmas bought all the students the cutest apron and chef hat with their names embordered on them....so we put that on and got busy. Check out our slideshow! It was fun and the beginning of many more days cooking I'm sure!

SNOW?

This was sight out my back door on Tuesday morning after getting up and starting to get ready for school.....then I find out there is no school in S'burg Co. Districts...WHAT????? I mean come on now.....I would rather go since I'm already up and not have to make it up. Well we have to make it up. It's all weird, but I'm hoping for some REAL SNOW between now and spring!!!! Some good snowman making snow, some good sleigh riding snow and some good snowball snow. I miss that!

MLK Day

Martin Luther King Day.....I'm not really sure, but I think I understand, but then again I don't because I have not been through what some people have been through with racism. I'm just not talking about the Blacks, but the Jews, Indians, Hispanics, Asians, Middle Easterns, people with Down Syndrome, people who have disabilities, people with glasses or braces, people who are overweight, people who are skinny, people who are tall, people who are short and my list could go on and on. I truely believe that on that day when MLK gave his speech he was not talking only about people who are Black or White, but for all people with differences! Let's face it, aren't we all just a little different from each other? So on this day I think about all people who have ever experienced racism, not just one group! Thank you MLK for giving all people a dream to hold on to! Just my thoughts!
