simple joys

first, let me wish everyone a very happy earth day!

shana has a really great post on her blog today so i'll let you read what she has to say about living the green life! i'm really feeling challenged about this today. i guess it's time to make some changes! for starters, i plan to use reusable grocery bags as often as i can for my groceries from now on. i even have a couple already. now to just take 'em with me when i shop. i'd like our family to be a lot better about recyclables too. {there was a time in my life when recycling was the norm. but here recycling isn't mandatory, so we don't. it's sad, but true. i know we could if we just put a little effort into it! we'll have to figure out the HOW, but i know there's got to be some people who recycle around here!}


T got home safe this afternoon. i'm so glad! and even though he's super tired, T took bubba in for awanas tonight and is at work until he picks him up at 8pm. life is already getting back to normal!

after eating out at DQ this evening, cj did not want to come in the house. but it was just a tad too cold for me to stay out and let him play outside. so when he finally decided he didn't like being outside alone {about 3 seconds!}, he came in. but was very sad. so after T left with bubba, i did something special for him. i blew bubbles in the house! *gasp!*

cj had so much fun even though he had to be inside! i'm so glad that grandma patty gave him that little bottle of bubbles in his Easter basket! of course, after about 20 minutes i was feeling quite lightheaded so we had to quit. for now! gonna have to remember this when i need something fun to do inside next winter!
