Washington D.C.

It is an awesome experience to see things from the past that has made this country a great place to live. The heartache, pain and passion the people went through and had to make this the place that people want to live is not appreciated enough by us.

I toured the White House, National Archives, Capitol Building, National Museum of Natural History, American Museum, Vietnam Memorial, WWII Memorial, Korean Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, FDR Memorial, Ford's Theatre, Air & Space Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, Holocaust Memorial Museum, Iwo Jima Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Kennedy Center, Mount Vernon. Saw the Washington Monument.

It was a rough four days but we got it done and I am very glad to have been able to see it all. I am glad to be home with Jason and the girls. Got home at 2:00 am this morning but got woke up at 7:00 am by Rebekah wanting her gifts from D.C. so I can barely keep my eyes open. lol

Absence

Heading out way before the sun comes up in the morning for Washington, D.C. Leaving Jason with the girls for four days! Thanks to Mom for watching the girls during the day too. I am lucky to have the support system I have. It is going to be a fun and tiring four days but well worth it to see the nation's capitol. We have a reservation to see the White House too. I am looking forward to getting more flower seeds to plant when I get back. I love watching seeds grow into flowers. I'm not taking a laptop but if there ends up being a computer in the hotel, I will try to blog some about the trip. I'm sure I will be home sick by Tuesday but will be enjoying myself at the same time. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

Pinecone Research is growing!

I have been with this company for a long time now.  I do around 2 surveys a month.  They pay $3 per survey to you through Paypal.  I personally use the money to buy coupons from companies up in the Northeast where coupons are worth more than here.  I highly recommend signing up with them.  Well worth it.  I have even tried new products through them.

Kitchen addition

My kitchen addition is in the works.  We are getting a cabinet with a rolling drawer for the trash, book shelves for my cookbooks and a bar-heighth eating area.  I am very excited.  They are going to put the laminate on the bar.  We are going to go find a pretty “barley twist” leg to have on the end.  Rebekah has already picked out her eating spot.   Probably won’t be done before I leave for Washington, D.C. but hopefully they will be real close to getting it done by the time I get back.  We are getting hardwood floors done too.  This all just completes the kitchen out.  It always seemed like half a kitchen.  Something was missing.  I’ll have to post pictures when it is done.

Nite Nite

Soon after bathtime last night, I tell Katie let’s go read a book and go to sleep.  She breaks out the book Secret Seahorse.  I do love that book.  It is a fun one.  Anyhoo, we get done reading and I begin to make goofy faces at her and making her giggle.  I say ok, time to go to sleep.  She proceeds to say, “Let’s just talk.”  Four year old, wants to just talk.  What?!?!  So…she won, we talked and tickled then crashed.  A time to remember.
