An amazing discovery

Last Saturday when we were flea market exploring Mr J was so excited to show me something.  Ben had taken them to the flea markets before without me, and Mr J had an amazing discovery that he kept telling me about. "Mom, you have got to see this phone!!!"  So as soon as we walked into the shop that had the phone he grabbed my hand and pulled me straight into the back of the store, then he showed me this. . .

"Look!  Look, Mom!  Look!  Look at this old phone.  Dad said he had one of these when he was a kid!!!!"  He was so excited about it.  I had to hold back a laugh.  "Yeah," I said smiling, "I had one of those phones when I was a kid too."  He looked at me with big eyes and said in awe, "Wow!"  Then he stood there and dialed the numbers for a long time.  It was just about the coolest thing to him.  So fun.  Did you have one of these phones growing up?  If so, you are amazing to my son :)  I think I am going to go back and buy it for him to play with.  What an amazing discovery.

Blue Jeans Week 7

Sunday:  Mr J is getting to be such a good reader!  Ben and Miss E listen as he reads to them.

Monday:  Miss E was home sick today.  She was running a fever, but thankfully nothing else.  She just wanted to be on the couch and watch Star Wars.

Tuesday:  Caught this lovely fellow under our back porch last night.  The joys of country living. 

Wednesday:  Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!  We love Dr. Seuss books, and we always pick our favorites to read on his birthday.  These are the ones we picked this year.

Thursday:  Tonight at church was the Relief Society meeting, or meeting for the ladies at church.  We reenacted the first RS meeting from the 1800's, and everyone came in bonnets.  Miss A came with me to celebrate, and we doned our bonnets that I made.

Friday:  Today was the last day of the 3rd 9 weeks at school (can you believe the school year is 3/4 of the way over?), so the kids got out of school at 1:00.  To celebrate the girls' all A's and a half day of school, we went to A&W for Root Beer floats!  They are perfect for any celebration!

Saturday:  After cleaning the house in the morning, we went out and did some flea market exploring as a family.  Our town has a few flea markets, and we enjoyed exploring.  Miss E was admiring this mirror when I went to take a picture of her.  This is pretty indicative with how our life is, I always have the camera :)  Hope you had a great week!
