Apples everywhere

Time to clean up from the hurricane. Apples and twigs.

Would you like batteries with that?

Every time I shop at Toys R US I am asked by the cashier if I'd like batteries or a gift receipt with my purchase. Doesn't matter what I'm getting, they have to ask.

Little did they realize that today I went there specifically for batteries after learning most other places were out of C's and D's I remembered that there were batteries and flashlights too! All of this at the worlds biggest toy store. Albeit we'll be using sponge Bob,Dora and Tinkerbell but we'll have flashlights. When asked if I needed a gift receipt, I just rolled my eyes and said yes, just for the batteries please. Be well and go get some batteries.

All kidding aside hurricanes are serious stuff folks,be safe.

Super Shadow Girl

What did you read this summer?

I have encouraged the princess to read from an early age. Every summer we both make sure to read, read,read. She's about to complete the summer reading program at the library. Her choices were a mix of chapter books. Her favorites as of this writing are Amber Brown and the Ivy and Bean series. I even managed to get through a few books myself. They are in no particular order Gever Tullys 50 dangerous things, Tina Fey's Bossy Pants and Adam Mansbach's Go The #%^* to Sleep. The common thread being not to take ones self too seriously. If You've not read them...what are you waiting for? Get to the bookstore or library. There's still time.

Ice cream dreams

Who needs fancy ice cream parlors? When asked to create an original ice cream creation. The princess whipped up a little dish of decadence for us to share.
