"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Candyland


The girls got a Candyland game for Christmas. We play it about every 2 - 3 days or so. It requires much patience from me in teaching the rules, but it is paying off. I LOVE this game!! It teaches colors, counting, taking turns, and waiting patiently between turns. Ve has learned so much about colors and now counting. Tuks loves it because it reinforces what she knows. If you currently don't have the game and you are bringing home older children, I would definitely recommend getting it. They are learning and having fun all in one. Who could ask for anything better!!

Oh yeah, school has been called off tomorrow as well for the low wind chill. Back one day and then off for four more days. I am not happy about this because we will have to make up the days come June when the weather is real nice outside.....Oh well I guess that is what I get for living in Freezeville!!!!
