February 4

I had a great Friday!  I had a daycare kid who I always have tons of fun with today.  The kids got up and ate good breakfasts and did their school work with no complaints.  I was able to read some books and knit some.  Jeff got to come home right after school.  And then we listened to a bunch of 80's and 90's music.  So much fun.  It's funny how so many of those songs bring back so many memories of friends and good times.
It's also really funny how much both of our kids love that music!  They were both sitting in here shouting, "put that on my ipod!" while we were listening to stuff.  It's really hysterical.  Hayden was doing his math today and listening to his ipod.  All of a sudden, he is singing "U Can't Touch This" word for word.  I was snickering and giggling.  Then he started dancing in his seat and I literally almost fell out of my chair.  I love that my kids love music.  It has always been such a huge part of my life and I hope it will be in theirs too.  I'd say they are already off to a pretty good start.
I spent a lot of today reading on my NOOKcolor.  I adore it.  I don't think that anything will ever replace a real book in my hand.  I know its weird, but I love books.  We have hundreds of them.  Our kids have hundreds more.  I love the way they look, they way they feel, the way they smell.  I think books are really special.  I LOVE my NOOKcolor because I can keep thousands of books in it if I want.  (Right now there are 60 books-most were free- and I think I have about the same amount of knitting/crochet patterns on it)  I read really quickly.  I can read a 300 page book in a little over an hour on most days.  Sometimes it will take me closer to two, but rarely.  I'm not trying to brag....I'm just trying to explain why a NOOKcolor is a really good solution for me.  I have plenty of things to read and lots of choices.  I even have a copy of the Bible in mine.  The ESV or English Standard Version.  I think that my NOOKcolor is awesome, even though I don't think I will ever be able to completely replace books.
The kids are in bed and I'm getting ready to settle down for the evening.  I wish all of you many terrific weekend adventures!
