40PC, #4

It's time for 40PC, #3. If you would like to play click on the picture above and see what it's all about! Here is this weeks picture that was taken by Pensieve herself. I had a hard time doing it in 40 words or less this week but I ended up with exactly 40. Enjoy!

Cherry or Strawberry on a stick,

You know you want a lick!

Green fields are pulling me to go play

But the sucker wants me to stay.

Stay and lick it's sugary delight.

Can I make it last till night?

**UPDATE**
Now my son, Sam, has written a poem to go with the picture:

Little Lollipop, pop, pop, pop,
I give you a slurp.

I lick you with delight.
I can not wait till night.

Lollipop, lollipop good night.

And now two more that he just wrote off the top of his head:

It's a fact.
It's a fact.
We know it's really true
How about you?

Butter, butter
I truly adore you.
I like the goo
That is in you.

He really is a creative kid. LOVE HIM!

Appetizer: What is the nearest big city to your home?

Considering that I live in Arlington TX, I guess that I would have to say that it would be either Dallas or Ft Worth TX.

Soup: On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?

I would have to say a 9 or a 10. It really depends on what the secret is.

Salad: Describe your hair (color, texture, length).

My hair is brown, long (past the shoulders), and very thick.

Main Course: What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?

I say that I am a very courteous driver.

Dessert: When was the last time you had a really bad week?

I really have bad days more then I ever have bad weeks. I can't remember the last time I had a bad week. Guess that's a good thing.

TURN DOWN SERVICE

Sweet dark chocolate.

Flowers are a special treat.
Letters from the heart.

White fluffy pillows.

Downy duvet keeps me warm.

Sleep beckons me home.

Summer Reading

I am starting to work on summer activities for Sam like I did last summer. The planning stage is pretty much either still in my head or on the computer and I really need to get going on it since I have about one month to finalize some of them. One thing that I am really looking into is a summer reading program to keep him (and myself) reading through out the summer. I know that our library is going to have one but they won't have the information out until June 1st. So I have gone on the hunt for others. Today I found out that Barnes and Noble and Scholastic both have a good reading program for summer that rewards the kids and other kids in need. Check them out!

Do you have a summer reading program that you do with your kids or have done in the past? If so I'd love to hear about them.

Keeping in mind that Sam is 8 and going into 3rd grade...what are (or were) your kids favorite books?

This one is for me...what are your favorite books/authors? I'm always looking for new ones.

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!

Today during Sam's fourth soccer game he scored a goal! This morning while we were getting ready he came up to me and told me that he thought he might get his goal today. I told him that he needs to restate his sentence and say it like this, "I can and I will get my goal today!"

He did and I guess it worked! He took the ball from the opponents goal and took it all the way down to their goal and shot it in hard. I was so excited at this long run and goal that I forgot to get a picture of it while it was happening. I gook over 60 photos today during the game but not that. Oh well. That memory will be in my mind forever.

These have been low scoring games as there were only enough boys in their age group to make two teams so they play each other every week. They are starting not only to develop more skills but are also learning what the other teams strengths and weaknesses are. It's a lot of fun to watch.

Here is a picture of Sam before the game in the parking lot. Love his shades!

PhotoHunter - Share Any Photo

Today is a "Share any photo" day at PhotoHunter. Since I'm only in my second week I chose to use one of the past themes. I used: Old Fashioned.

**Update** Forgot to mention that although I would love to have this old truck, it is not mine. We saw this truck last year when we took my parents to the Christmas Train (in Jefferson County) in east Texas the day after Thanksgiving. It was a great trip.

Appetizer: When someone smiles at you, do you smile back?
Of course! Don't you?

Soup: Describe the flooring in your home. Do you have carpet, hardwood, vinyl, a mix?
We have carpet through out most of the house with some linoleum and ceramic tile.

Salad: Write a sentence with only 5 words, but all of the words have to start with the first letter of your first name.
Kangaroos kindly keep kicking kettles.

Main Course: Do you know anyone whose life has been touched by adoption?
ME! We adopted our son almost 8 years ago. He was 4 1/2 months old when we got him and he's been the light in our lives ever since. Of course, all of our family and friends have been touched by adoption too. In fact one of our best friends in Nashville, TN, adopted their daughter shortly after we adopted Sam after they saw how happy we were with our adoption.

Dessert: Name 2 blue things
The ocean and the sky. Those are the first two items that came to my mind.

40PC #2

It's time for 40PC #2. If you would like to play click on the picture above and see what it's all about!

Here is this weeks picture that was taken by Pensieve herself. I can't believe it! I did it in exactly 40 words.

Walking through heaven's doors can be no more than this.

A sight for all to behold, for all to see.

After a lifetime here on earth, this will be bliss.

For this is where you have always wanted to be.
