So, the other day we are all in the car when zoe says, I wonder where clouds come from? As we explain to her what clouds are for and about where rain comes from Reece interupts to tell Zoe that clouds come from a cloud factory.
Well, let me say he was very adamant about this claim. Mikyla told him there was no such thing as a cloud factory. He however would'nt hear of it. As far as he was concerned there was most definatly a cloud factory.
After the kids went back and forth about it and after I had stopped laughing "I finally asked Reece what made him think there was a cloud factory? Mikyla jumped in and once again said yeah there is no such thing to which Reece replied" uh-huh I saw it on dragon tales"
I thought it was funny and thought i would share it with everyone.

I'm soooo happy to be home
In case no one has noticed, I haven't been home in quite some time.
I came home last week, then left again for a few days at the outer banks with the kids. We had a great time at the beach. I just wanted to say i'm so happy to be home and I will now try to do a better job of keeping up my blog.
I totally missed home and my friends. Hope all is well with everyone.

This was funny
Okay so we went to Georgia this past week to help my dad with his vegetable stand.He had to go back home to Florida for a few days. His stand is next to a Golden Corral and as I was standing there I looked over and had to read this sign a few times just to make sure I was looking at it right. Check it out, read closely!!
In a few days I will also be posting some pictures of the kids at work.

New Moon
I just finished reading New moon. If you have not read it yet you may not want to read this post! I will try not to give anything away but just in case I do you have been warned.
Okay the book was great but after Edwards untimely departure I was left with a feeling of mourning much like bellas'. Yes I know, i'm probably being over dramatic, But as far as i'm concerned you just can't replace a vampire with a werewolf.
The book was very well written and has a great story line but when edward came back into the story I found myself more involved with the story.
After reading til the end and grasping the entire story and plot, edwards leaving made perfect sense and i'm sure made the book that much better.
Anyway, if you haven't read it you should and if you have I hope you were as excited to get started on eclipse as I was. Otherwise i'm just the crazy lady who loves vampires. Well atleast the ones named edward.

Gone Fishin'
So, this past saturday we took the kids to little river to go fishing. We thought it would be fun and it was. Mikyla caught a baby bass that we returned soon after catching. Zoe thought the worms were gross.(they were) Reece likes the idea of fishing but gets bored with the whole waiting thing. Can't say I blame him. We did get some good pictures of the kids though!

Twilight
Have you read this book??? The only logical answer is YES!!
I would love to tell you about it but every word I can think of is inadequate.
There are no words to describe the wonder of this book. And Edward, what do you say about Edward. There again all words are inadequate to describe this wonder as well.
READ THE BOOK!!! Lose yourself in this wonderful fantasy world then come back and tell me what you think of twilight. Well if you can find the words.

Are you kidding me???
Okay, so I haven't yet decided who I will vote for in the November election since the candidate that I liked the most dropped out of the presidential race. I'm not to keen on any of the others so far but, I also haven't watched any recent debates.(I try but for the most part they bore me)
Here's the problem, today they had kids vote at school. Which is a great way to teach kids about the voting process.But at what point do teachers cross the line?
Mikylas' teacher told her class that Barack Obama is a racist.My reply was of course,are you kidding me?? She really said that to the entire class?
I'll be the first to say I know nothing about Barack Obama and he may or may not be racist however I will say that is a strong accusation to make to a classroom full of 5th graders. (Mikyla voted for Hilary Clinton after being given this information from her teacher)
I thought teachers were to teach our children fact not opinion. And no i'm not saying teachers are not entitled to an opinion but I think this opinion should have stayed out of the classroom.
Although it did give me the perfect opportunity to teach my children the importance of not basing their opinions off the opinions of others.That in making decisions they should always form their own opinions by learning about the subject or person for themselves.
