Last night Accalia was disappointed because we couldn't see any stars. It was still fairly early, so it probably wasn't quite dark enough to see much. It was cloudy, too. The night before, though, we were running outside every 5 minutes to see the lunar eclipse. She loved that.

I can't remember if I mentioned here or not that I'm participating in this book contest judging. They send me a stack of books and I have to fill out an evaulation form for each. My category is parenting, and thankfully none of the books looks like it will make sick to my stomach with the author's theory. This morning, Accalia and I were having fun with one of the books - Pick Me Up! Music CD & American Sign Language Activity Guide. It really is a neat book. There are 20 songs, so we can listen to them on the CD and read the lyrics/try out the illustrated signs in the book.

Accalia's in the bathtub right now. After she's finished and we all get ready (I'm not dressed yet for the day), we're heading to the dollar store so the kids can pick out something.
