THERE'S A CHANGE IN THE TEMPERATURE

Although the weather is cloudy with a little rain or clear and sunny, the air is getting cooler especially in the morning and night. Therefore much to Mimi's dismay I am in the midst of putting her summer clothes away. This morning she tried to pull the sheet over my head by thinking that she could get away with wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 65 degree weather outside. When I had her change into something more appropriate the girls says "Ah man! Samantha lives in California and she gets to wear summer clothes all the time! She's soooooo lucky!" Sigh.............

DINOSAUR EXCAVATION KIT

This past Sunday we went to Chuck E. Cheese for Porter's 5th birthday. Mimi got this as one of her prizes. I am going to see if I could find out where I could purchase a couple more of these boxes. She spent hours just putting this all together.

It is an archaeological kit. A bit messy but easy to clean. The bones are separately buried in a block of what looks like a block shaped chalk. A small pick and brush comes with the kit. All one has to do is chip away. Once you collect all of the bones, you snap them together. Mimi loved it. Being that it is a dinosaur is a plus too.

The girl has already changed her mind about becoming a doctor or vet. Has come to realize that she can't stand the sight of blood. She decided that she now wants to be a museum curator.
