I haven't posted much lately, so here are a few things we have been up to. We went to the book fair and had Clifford sign a book. Colton loved him and followed him around. Lydia was terrified and stayed in the bleachers the whole time. 
We said goodbye to our dear friend Swathi, who moved to California to be with her husband. She just completed all her bench work for her PHD. Yay Swathi! 
We visited the fire department. Pretty sure I enjoyed it more than the kids. 
We rode the bike to this park. They love tire swings. 
Lydia got to bring this bear home for the weekend from her preschool. I think this is the only time Colton touched it because other than this, the bear was attached to Lydia's hip. It went to the mall, to the playground, to bed. I think the only place it didn't go was the bathtub! In other news, Mike's intramural football team is 2-1. The tournament starts this week.
I just finished reading "The Host" by Stephanie Myer. (Author of Twilight) Can I just say without offending anyone, that I am tired of Stephanie Myer? Though a very different plot from the Twilight books, I still found a lot of parallel's in this science fiction. Drama, drama, drama. I enjoyed the Twilight books, but I don't think there is near as much talent there as what is celebrated. However, after "The Host" I read "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. HE is a writer! I cried and cried. Not about the romance part, but about the story of growing up and loving your family!
On the way home from Ohio, we hit a deer. The driver side door won't open. You can hardly tell there is a dent, but I think we will get that fixed tomorrow because already I am tired of crawling out the back!
Colton has learned to jump. He seems to now think this is the best mode of transportation.

I read the first Twilight book and was like "meh." It was entertaining, but the drama wasn't worth continued pursuit. I liked A Walk to Remember by Nicolas Sparks, but nothing else. Maybe I'll read that one.
We had the same thing happen to our old car... I too got sick of climbing over! I will have to read the Nicholas Sparks book... I need a good read. He is a great writer.
I still have your baskets... sorry! I will bring them by sometime soon, let me know if you are in desperate need for them :)
The Host was different, I enjoyed it but there was alot of drama for sure. But I think I'll read some Nicholas Sparks next--thanks for the suggestions!! Bye Swathi!!
I am with you on the Stephanie Meyer topic. I read The Host about 2 years ago. It all seems like teenage drama instead of real life drama. I just saw the movie The Last Song-- I know they are never as good as the books, but I enjoyed it and cried too.
I'm glad you had a good time on your trip! And I'm glad you didn't shimmy around the mountain on a chain! I would like to think that I could have done it, but no-- I am way to chicken to do anything like that!
