Why do I have to have a Title for EVERY POST?

I haven't blogged for a while but I have an "excuse."  Our computer downstairs broke and so I haven't been able to get any pictures off my camera.  It is a pitty.  When I had the computer I didn't seem to have anything to blog but now that I have it back, I can't remember what I wanted to blog!  It was clearly of vital importance.

And I have pictures.  This is Julia at her school talent show.

This is a picture of Julia painting her Grandpa Terry's toes.  She has black polish that is saved just for any boy who is willing to let her paint.

This is a picture I forgot to post at Christmas.  Since we don't do Santa, I filled the stockings early and hung them by the fireplace so the kids could see them and get excited.  Well, put crayons hanging right in front of the fireplace and guess what you get?  A brick of crayons!

And these are pictures of the crafts we made when I did preschool at our house.  We have a neighborhood mom school where we take one two hour block every seven weeks and provide some play and preschool at our homes.  For my week we made ducks and an ark to hold some animals.  We talked a little bit about animals and had animal crackers for a snack.  See, we eat some animals in our house.  We arent completely vegetarian!

Oh, and lastly, this is our time box that we did in 2000.  It has been ten years since we closed it.  Peter was doing the pictures but apparently the only one we ended up taking was the one that showed how much dust it had collected sitting on top of our kitchen cabinets.  Apparently the contents were truly thrilling.  We are expecting the one we do this year to be much more fun as now we have kids to write letters to, kids to contribute items, and kids who write their own letters.  We got a beautiful new time box as well.  My mom ordered us one online that is more like a cedar chest as it is about 24" X 36" X 18".  It has a beautiful picture of the Manti temple carved in the top.  It certainly won't be one that we stuff on top of the kitchen cabinets!
