OctoOwl is my new favorite bag.
Burb*
We made this little black mouse for Fallie’s friend who is coming over tomorrow (he is friends with Lowl). This one is named after another of Fallie’s favorite internet slang terms, BRB. She thinks it is hilarious when her classmates (second graders!) try to pronounce the letters like a word (LOL and OMG are her other favorites but I’ sure she knows more than she tells me).
* I thought she spelled the names like the abbreviations but I was wrong.
floor mat
It has been a year since I sprained my ankle and it still hurts most of the time. I can trip walking on a flat surface so I have to be very mindful of my footing, all the time. The old mat was over an inch thick and I stepped on the edge of it and rolled my foot, tearing the ligaments. My mom gave me this one last christmas and it has not caused any injuries so far.
That’s Disgusting!
My brother gave us this book five years ago and it is still a family favorite. There are thirty-five examples in this little book and I am ashamed to admit that we have experienced almost half of them. Over time we came up with our own examples and say them with the same cadence. You should see the face that accompanies the truly disgusting ones…
Fallie is currently working on a new version of this book, titled “Cat’s Disgusting!” It will be all about the gross things Gopher Guts does.
