President's Day
I told the kids this is President's Day and what it means. They all know about Abraham Lincoln. They've read a book on him, and of course he shares their daddy's birthday. I told them George Washington also has his birthday in February. I said, "George Washington was the FIRST president ever for our country!"
As I paused for effect, Amy didn't miss a beat and quickly inserted, "And who was the second president?"
How dry is it - post script.
Oh and my jeans stick to me. Have you ever had so much static charge that denim sticks to you from sliding across the car seat??

How dry is it?
Arizona is great but they ain't kidding when they say it's dry here:
It is SO dry that my dogs walk around with half of the dead grass in the back yard stuck on their backs and their hair sticks straight up, always.
It is SO dry, I tried to cut my little dog's long curly hair and none of it came off when I cut it. It stuck to her, it stuck to the scissors and it stuck to my hand. What a mess. I had to wet her down to see what fell off and what I still had to cut.
It is SO dry I can't brush the kids hair more than one stroke without causing friction and their hair sticks straigh up.
It is SO dry that I can't iron without the fabric jumping up to meet the iron.
It is SO dry wood floors + broom= forget about it, too much friction nothing gets swept up.
It is SO dry that when I touch the light switch in the girls bathroom I get a shock so strong all their little blinking toothbrushes go off. Really!
I have seen how I will die some day, there is only so much electric current a human body can take.

Bike ride
Two weeks ago, the training wheels came off of Karianne's bike. Gotta get video of that for you. Sunday, the neighbors loaned us a little 12" bike for Lucy to ride. Amy and Angie love riding their scooters. Yesterday and today Lucy has rode her bike to school to pick up sisters. Momma is having a hard time keeping up!
