Hi, everyone! I am new here, I just followed a link and joined up
today. :) I am the proud mother of 2 beautiful dd and the wife of
one slightly grumpy dh. ;) (he's grumpy because he's trying to
figure out what's wrong with my car) We have had a wonderful
Valentine's Day...enjoying being with people we love. We took my
SIL a DVD slideshow (pics of her kids) for her b-day, then stopped
for milkshakes and curly fries with cheese on the way home. When we
first got up this am. it was CHOCOLATE FOR EVERYONE!!!! I'm
nibbling on my truffles as I type. :) DH gave me a vintage
stapler he picked up at a flea market for Valentine's Day, and I got
a lot of mileage out of pretending to be mystified by it. LOL It's
been beautiful and warm outside today, which is always nice,
especially in February! Oh, I guess I'm rambling...I have just
enjoyed this day so much and wanted to share it a little. :)
About us, my girls have never been in a PS, my oldest did a year
of Headstart which we both hated, and they haven't been away from me
since. They read almost constantly (Dh is talking about building us
a library for all our books this summer!) they love to watch
Gilligan's Island (we bought the DVD series), they are very much
into their pets, 4 cats, 2 dogs, 10 rabbits, and one smelly
ferrett. They work on their altered books a lot, and their
scrapbooks, and we just recently discovered Art Trading Cards, which
they have been enjoying doing. Really, anything crafty they are
into. DH has been working on video production and animation lately
and they are getting interested in that with him. It's so much fun
watching them find things they are interested in and trying so many
new things. My oldest dd (10) decided she wanted to do carpentry,
so she asked for tools for her b-day...she hasn't made anything yet,
but when she decided to, she has the equipment.
I know I have gone on and on, but it's nice to be here with you all
and I look forward to getting to know you.

did you find a children's forum or how did you get started? my dd's
love doing art and i think this would be a great thing for them....as
they also love collecting! any info sent my way in regard to this
would be wonderful.
thanks,sarah

I just bumped into them online and thought they looked like so much
fun. I actually didn't think of looking for a children's forum...that
might have been a good idea!! I just showed them pics online of cards
and they jumped right on it and made several. My 10yr. old made a
beautiful one with butterflies, I'm trying to work out a trade with
her. ;)
