A Jumble Of Thoughts

*Yesterday Abygail and I were in the living room reading and I could hear Jackson playing with the magnets on the fridge. I knew there was nothing that could harm him where he was so I finished reading with Abygail. Afterwards I decided to go in the kitchen and get Aby and myself a snack. Jackson was not in the kitchen! I checked the library - he wasn't there either. I knew he wasn't in the living room/dining room because I had just come from that direction. To my horror and astonishment I looked up and he was 7 STEPS UP THE STAIR WAY!!!!!

I was so panicked, I wanted to get a picture but I didn't want him to fall while I was scrambling for the camera. By this time he was twisting around to see me and Abygail (who by this time had climbed up beside him). Well, I got a picture and then quickly scooped him off the stairs. He had chased one of the magnetic letters from Abygail's Fridge Phonics game up the stairs. Time to put up some barriers :o(
*On another note, I was actually surprised by the 'bring your own bag?' survey. I was really excited to see that more than half of those that participated either already brought their own bags to the store or were going to. YOU GO PEOPLE!!!

We now own 4 bags. I've been buying them as I need them. If I don't have enough when I go shopping than I just buy however many more I need so that I don't have to use the plastic bags. (There is a plastic bag hanging in a tree across the street, it was blown up there yesterday during the high winds. I hope the neighbors will be able to get it down, it's pretty far up there.)

*The book club I attend met on Tuesday night. It was so much fun to get out and chit chat with the ladies. This month we read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. We met at Diana's house and she made pumpkin soup and some of us enjoyed fake 'bush' tea (I wasn't in the mood for herbal tea so I passed on that one but the soup was yummy) - they refered to pumpkin soup and bush tea in the book. (see my new book review on the side bar)

*We are glad that the city left us the stump of our tree. We are going to try and haul it to the back yard and make a bench out of it and then put it in a sitting area or something. I'll have to make a mental note to update the blog with whatever comes of it.

I guess that's all the updates for now. Happy Thursday!!!
