tree huggers



Today was a very laid back type of day. It had to be. Blue had a case of the runnies sometime during the wee hours of the night. This created commotion for A1 and her bff "B" (yeah, I'm hip with the lingo!) and this resulted in an obviously rough night for us. The story as we believe it to be is that while I was with my Friend, the girls (little and big) were hanging out baking a cake, eating the candy and chocolate I had bought them earlier in the day and working on crafts. During this time, apparently Blue got into the candy and well, you can figure the rest... F got back from Gettysburg in the afternoon tired so he dove into a siesta while the girls and I went outside to hang out with our neighbors and we decided we would get the fire going in order to warm up and roast marshmallows. Did I mention that it is still cold here? It is in the 40's but the wet wind feels more like the 30's!

It was a great end to a great (but sleep deprived) weekend. I for one, am looking forward to jumping into our cozy bed! By the way, if anyone is in the market for a new mattress, we recommend Dormia http://dormia.com/ we have been very pleased with our purchase.

Not even the cold will stop these kids from having a good time!

A2 has a ton of energy like her little friend "N" .
I am such a proud mom, I have TreeHuggers in my children! They were chanting "treehuggers, treehuggers..." while they gave this old Maple some lovin'. All kidding aside, I have tried to be more conscious and have been trying to be a little greener whenever I can. I am now using reusable shopping bags when I go to the grocery store-- and they actually hold more and are way better! Of course we recycle all that can be recycled, we stopped using paper napkins about 3 months ago and have switched to using cloth. Those nice napkins aren't for special occasion anymore-- it's an every day occasion! I have acquired quite the collection! As soon as my cleaners are finished, I will begin to make my own! More on that later...
