Book Giveaways and First Games

Well, my first attempt at a book draw has come to a close (yesterday) and thank you to the ladies who participated for not attacking me with emails about not paying attention that the 1st came and went.. I was working really hard yesterday and time got away from me.. it wasn’t till I looked at the calendar today that I realised I’d missed it by a day.  Sigh.. busy homeschool life, eh?

SO… without further ado…

The winner is *insert drum roll here* ….. RACHEL LARKIN of http://www.Rachel-Larkin.com.  I’m inspired like crazy at all the possiblities now (why didn’t *I* think of that?).  BUT… since all the entries were on the same “wave length” in ideas (hers just took it to another level) - I’ve decided to send everyone something…. so Danielle, Jennifer and Laura… keep your eyes open in your inbox for a treat from me! :o)

On another note… my husband is an addict.  Okay, not *that* kind of addict… but a sports addict.  He’s a die-hard fan of the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Team… and this week he decided it was time to fully indoctrinate our youngest son into the ranks of the truly addicted.  He took him to his First Game. 

This is Greyson’s report on the game:

“Daddy took me the hockey game.  It was so loud but I wasn’t even scared, I was humming to myself.  People were screaming except for me!  A big huge machine and another came out and they cleaned all the ice up.  And the other got rid of the scrapes.  I saw a guy with a costume.  I liked him.  He was hiding from me -  he was sneaky.  I was looking for him.  I wanted him to come and see me but he didn’t, he just came to see the other kids.  He was big and hairy!   The hockey players made the scrapes and made snow and the man witht he shovels cleaned up the snow.  In the picture, that is the thing that shows the players playing the game.  This is a picture of me with my costume, I went in front of Daddy and he took this cute picture.  There was nothing else I could see.  Daddy bought me some pizza with pepperonis and some pop.  The best part of the hockey game was Daddy taking lots of pictures.”

I think narrations of events count too, right? ;o)

The “big and hairy” guy was the Youpi (I think I spelled that right) mascot who was the mascot of the Expos, but then they left, so he was adopted by the Habs (the Canadiens).  See, I know SOME stuff about sports… not much, but I do know a little!  LOL!

I also wanted to share a pretty picture of Chaeli too… I think Kenzi took it, but I just love her eyes… and this is “so her” because she’s ALWAYS got an apple on the go… I’ve read it might have something to do with her GERD, apparently apples can help ??
