My new "Friend"

Why have I not been blogging lately? Besides the typical blah of January, I was given the greatest gift for Christmas by my husband. A new Kindle. I absolutely love it! I have read more books since Christmas, than probably the last 6 months. Which I really don't have the time for, but it is an addictive device. :)

The screen is great, and it is very user friendly. The size is fantastic, and you can take it anywhere. The battery life lasts awhile, so you don't have to plug it in all the time. Plus, amazon has hundreds of books you can download for free. My kindle has the 3G wifi feature, which is free. I can't say enough about this great device. I also have downloaded books for my 9 year old to read, and he loves to read books on there. If you come across a word you don't know, you can put the cursor on it, and it will give you the definition. I could go on and on, but I will spare you. Just one more thing, the kindle store is amazing, you have thousands and thousands of books to choose from. It is so easy to find things, and use. I have found a new friend.

Ah...February

Some friends blogs have commented on the slow passing of January...and I have to agree. I am always happy to see it pass. It means more meaningful holidays are upon us, and Spring is just around the corner. We have had some fun activities to try and keep us distracted.

Carson had his scout pinewood derby. He assembled his with Legos to look like a Jeep,( His favorite car). His car took 5th place overall, and he had so much fun building it.

I needed color around the house, and since my sister gave me this great idea, we made Valentines together. Thanks Suzy! It was fun, and they had a blast cutting our hearts and such to decorate. Yay for color!

Finally, for those who know my youngest son Kale, you will know his obsession with games. Board games, card games, interactive games, really any game. I play games with him everyday. Lately is has been the game of life. I am not sure I know many 5 year olds that like that game, but he does! Don't break the ice is another that he loves. It is so much fun to have the time to do that with him. He loves to play, and really doesn't care if he wins. ( At least not every game :)

So here's to February! Thank goodness it has finally come.
