Winter Books

Tracks in the Snow by Wong Herbert Yee

We love this book!  It's small and perfect for little people.  The illustrations are beautiful and really pull you into the story.

We spent today at the Zoo. Every time we go to the zoo we learn something new. How can that be? The boys thought there was a toy scorpion in the exhibit and were surprised to see it move. They had a black light on them and one was right under the light. It was a beautiful turquoise.

We fed the budgies. E screamed horribly when 5 or 6 of those guys flew into his face and landed up his arm. He was so brave.

Here is a pic from our camping trip.
We were all alone,
just the two of us.
It was lovely.

This sidewalk is from the housing area down to a cliff.
It seems so silly now when you think of the women who were all dressed up with no place to go except for this sidewalk. I hope some of them were brave enough to going for a hike through the beautiful woods.

Veganism

Mollie started my obsession with these little videos. I look up Vegan and found these:

Steven the Vegan I just want to note, yesterday in my Photography class we were discussing going out to eat after our final class and someone mentioned a steak house. "I'm a vegetarian."

"They have a salad bar!"
"Do you eat seafood?"

Dead animal=Had a face, Had a mom

Crab=?
fish=?
shellfish=?

Why are there still people who call themselves vegetarians and eat fish? I don't care if you want to eat plants, but you can't say that's all you eat and then eat fish.

Another video Making Vegan Pizza

This one made my sons really laugh. It's a bit Pythonish ya know. If you let kids watch it you might want to pull the screen over to hide the tags on the right hand side. Vegan Pig
