Cleaning tip.For those times you have a bum knee and climbing on and off chairs is too scary for you. You may enlist the help of any 4 year old who loves to climb on counters. I am lucky that I own one of the above mentioned 4 year olds and, yes, he love to climb on counters. So I didn't have to pay him even. He just loved helping out. He climbed right up in that cupboard and handed me all the junk we needed to clean out.
Thanks Lukey

Inexpensive activity for your kids. Brig and Luke were watching the Curious George Christmas show and the Man in the Yellow Hat made a triangle tree count down to Christmas so, of course, we needed to make triangle tree count downs too. They had a great time coloring on this lovely Saturday morning.
