We interrupt this blog for a commercial announcement....

....today is a self-declared "School Holiday" in our house. It's Catalog Day.

This will not appear on any calendars or anything, but it is the day we set aside for the reading & perusing of the Sonlight Curriculum Catalog. It is an annual event, but the date varies depending on the speed of the US (and in this case, international as well) Postal Service. It comes sometime after March 15 every year, though, and is greatly anticipated & looked forward to each year.

Well, today is the day, so there will be no blogging until I am done with The Catalog.

I had Sonlight send it to my mother-in-law's address, and she got it and sent us a box of goodies, which got here today. (Have I mentioned how much I love my MIL???? I hope to be just like her when the boys marry a million years from now).

She sent freezer pops, the liquid kind that you then freeze -- these are soda pop flavored, with reportedly DR PEPPER!! and A&W ROOTBEER flavors!!!!! Oh, I can't wait!!!

(I did resist the urge to just open one and drink it as a liquid.....)

One of the freezer pops busted but fortunately it soaked all into the cardboard and did NOT mess up my SL Catalog. Whew!

She also sent other yummies and toys for the kids -- mini lego kits, Butterfingers (I had no idea I missed those so much!!!), and Bubbles, among other things.

Zach is on the balcony dumping & re-filling his bubbles container. He is no longer dumping the contents over the edge of the balcony. At least, not in the last 5 minutes.

So, I am off to sit on the balcony, maybe sip on a Dr. Pepper flavored ice-pop, munch on a snack sized Butterfingers, and enjoy my Sonlight catalog....man I love Catalog Day!
