Day 86 - Light's Out!

Tonight was Earth Hour (8:30-9:30pm).  Haley made sure that we had all the lights off and didn't used any electricity ALL DAY!  She was very concerned and made sure that she did her part by turning off her night light as well.

So... games by candlelight, outside play and sandwiches for lunch.  All for the good of the future.

Day 85 - A little bit of Easter

Haley sure had fun putting these little things up on the hall mirror and the front door today.  A sure sign that Easter is on it's way!

Day 84 - Alice... Tim Burton style

Went to see Alice in Wonderland 3D today.  Thought it was awesome!  I didn't have a picture of the real thing... so the next best thing is the Disney book of Haley's with a twist in Photoshop! :)

Day 83 - Haley and the Hat

Ok... so I had to take these photos in the bathroom... but the light was just so fabulous!  LOL

And this would be the Haley we all know and love...

SIGH...

Day 82 - My New Gig!

OK... time to embarrass myself for a moment here.

One of the girls at work had to do a readers theatre on a story she had read in the "and then it Happened" series (for more info... http://laura-take2.blogspot.com/2010/03/day-71-and-then-it-happened.html ).  I somehow got suckered into being the "old lady". 

Just to clarify... I think it was because I was a "lady" not necessarily "old".

So... thought I would have some fun with it and went ALL OUT!  I had many people in the building fooled as to who I was I think and we laughed about it all day long!!

Oh... and if anyone is interested in reading this hilarious story, "Another Good Deed" from book Seven, feel free to read away here http://www.boysbookshelf.com/another_good_deed.html

Day 81 - Spring has Sprung!

So happy to see the bulbs I planted in the fall are all sprouting!

Day 80 - Molly and McGee the Owls

This is what my focus has been on for a few days now.  Molly is a mother Barn Owl that is sitting on her 5 eggs and McGee is the father Barn Owl.  They are being followed by a live webcam.  For those that know me, owls are something that has interested me since I was about 5 years old.  I have more things in my owl collection than you could imagine!

Anyways, today was the day the first egg hatched!!  It was so exciting to watch!  Haley and Paige were just as excited and glued to my computer screen.

So... here are some pictures I took of my computer screen and then cropped in.  They aren't great quality but you can see pictures of the newest owlet addition Max!!!

Finally... if you are as interested as I am... the website to watch it http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Live_Owl_Nest_Box_Cam.html
You can also view so many other live webcams including an African waterhole which has been cool and lots of other birds, deer and other animals!

Just a funny picture of Molly with her head turned sideways!  LOL

This is an upclose picture of the first egg and little Max working his way out.
