My shower is going to finally be clean! The people who brought us those cute little scrubbing bubbles that run around your bathtub to get it clean have outdone themselves. They have come up with something that will clean my shower for me with the touch of a button. It hangs in your shower and you push the button with the cleaning stuff in it and shoots out everywhere and cleans the walls, the door-EVERYTHING! If your shower is already clean it will keep it clean and it if is not clean it will have it clean within a month. You can even go to automaticshowercleaner.com and get a coupon. I never thought I would be so excited about a cleaning solution.

It’s a volcano..can’t you tell? Liam decided today, out of the blue, that he wanted to make a volcano today out of bread and spaghetti sauce (for the lava). I decided what the heck, let’s do it. So we pieced together a volcano and he poured the sauce on top. We then added baking soda and vinegar and…kaboom…we had ourselves a volcano. He thought it was great so made another one with more baking soda and vinegar. He was pretty impressed with the whole thing, but now my driveway smells like vinegar.
We have had so much fun this past week with our extended family from New York; my oldest brother and his family came to visit us. Liam and Colm couldn’t get enough of them and the girls were so good with them. They played Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Dragon Tales, went swimming, played hide-and-seek and read stories together. We really look forward to their visits since we don’t get to see them very often.

Our chocolate experiment is working. I stole an idea from Family Fun magazine and we are enjoying the results. We love chocolate and we have had a lot of family members traveling recently, so we asked them to bring us back some chocolate. So far, we have chocolate from Brazil, Toronto, Spain and France. We are saving the wrappers and pinning the wrappers to a map so we can remember where they came from. I think we will also keep a chocolate journal so we can remember when we got them, who got them for us and what the chocolate tasted like.
I kid you not! We were at the doctor’s office today and there was a sign hanging in the elevator about a seminar you could attend about new sterilization techniques. The clincher was that the flyer was printed on paper that had farm animals on it. I kept reading it to see if it was geared towards veterinarians or something, but no, it was geared towards women who want to be sterilized-like a cow!
Last night while Liam was taking his bath I noticed he was closely inspecting the bottom of several of his bathtoys. He then stated, “Mom, everything in Kansas is made in China.”
