Lunar Eclipse 2010

My two oldest daughters spent the early morning hours sitting on the trampoline in our backyard and watching the lunar eclipse.This was the first total lunar eclipse to happen on the Northern Winter Solstice since 1638.

Psalm 136:9
 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. 3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Genesis 1:16

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Psalm8:3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Peace Out :-)

Amigurumi

These are some little Amigurumi animals I made for my kids.Amigurumi is a Japanese word meaning crocheted or knitted animal.They are so fun to make and my kids love them.Ruby kept trying to grab them and throw them while I was crocheting.She kept saying,"Ball,ball!"  :) I think I will make her a set of different colored soft balls to throw.

Fun at the Buddy Walk

The Buddy Walk® was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 walks planned for 2010 worldwide. In 2009, more than $9.5 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.


We had a great day at our local Buddy Walk today.

What is that thing? 31 for 21 day 7

 Someone asked me,"What is that thing she's coloring on?"" I like it!"

That  is a Magna Doodle . When I first started working with Ruby on scribbling coloring(coloring is a fine motor skill) she kept trying to eat the crayons and she was faster than me.She would have the crayon in her mouth and the tip bitten off before I could grab it away.I decided the Magna Doodle ,that had been a Christmas present to my kids last year, would be perfect for Ruby to learn to color with and would be less mess and no waxy after taste ;) hehe.Ruby has recently decided she would color with crayon and paper with her siblings,without tasting the crayon.She still enjoys the Magna Doodle  and I keep it on a bottom shelf of our bookcase so she can use it whenever she wants.

I found the Magna Doodle like the one we have on Amazon and they also had some other really cool versions ,like a travel version called Doodle Pro Tag - Along and one by another company called a Glodoodle .
