Jordyn....and other random Saturday morning things

Jordyn is often on a quest to find out what sound every bug makes. She knows her animals, so why not ask about bugs? I often wonder how I can get through to her that they don't really make sounds. She won't leave it alone. Of course this must be confusing when some bugs do make noise; as she pointed out to me that the bee buzzes and the butterfly DOES make a sound. She said to me, "Mom, The butterfly does make a sound. Here, I'll show ya." She began flapping her little arms like wings and making a fluttering sound with her mouth. By the way, if anyone knows what sound a giraffe makes Jordyn and her mother would be happy to know.

Well, we "inherited" a snow blower a while back (a nice, hardly used one!). However, it was never picked up from Jeremy's Aunt and Uncle's house. With the snow no longer really causing problems, Jeremy and his dad went and picked it up today and took it in to be repaired. Good timing, eh? At least we'll be prepared for any new snow we probably won't get. Most importantly, we'll be prepared for next year! Hopefully it will help us to make it out in our little car. LOL We have a fun day planned....not really. We will take turns caring for the kids so that we can get some projects taken care of. I put some of our things on Craigslist--for like the second time in my life--and I have had a CRAZY response to all of it. I have 9 people interested in one item. I need to drag this stuff out (maybe I should have done that first?) and get it set up for "viewing." Oh, my! On that note, breakfast is long over and the girls are playing. I should probably start on my Saturday. At least mixed in with all of this work, I have a haircut today. That guarantees some time for myself and a good chat with my friends; it's a long drive out and back, so I catch up with my girls on the phone and then I chat with my hairdresser--I just love her. I always grab a latte' from a great little stand next to the salon. Ahhh...looking forward to this!
