I look down and Raya had drawn a self portrait and her name
Who knew she knew? I didn't! I'm constantly taken aback by what children can absorb given the space and the supplies to learn.
Saturate
If you saturate your kids with good books (be picky, not all children's books are the same quality!) -- videos, toys etc... you will be surprised what they learn!

I am a jinxed woman.
My van door was smoking.
A small fire in my door.
I poured soda on it... probably shouldn't have though?
Then I locked myself out.
Actually the van locked me out.... I closed the door and then it locked... I think my van doesn't like me.
And my cell phone was dead... because I used the gps... so I was stranded once again.
Jeff had to rescue me.
There is a lot more to this story... but I am at home with 5 children ages 6 and under...
Craziness round two begin!

911
Car troubles continue...
I need to start this story with a forward:
Unknowingly (and unfairly) given a ticket. Remember the time we got ran off the road? -- The cop gave us a ticket. -- Couldn't contest, couldn't get a hold of anyone, couldn't pay for it, charged + $70 more for being unknowingly late, licensed revoked, paid an unknown sum online and hoped that it was correct, find out to reinstate license we needed to pay an additional... $70. 300+ dollars later Jeff has his license. Go to drive the car -- battery is dead, Jeff drains van battery trying to fix car's -- neighbor helps (thanks Laurel!). We are all done with car drama, right?!
No.
Worst.Possible.Scenario.
-- well, I could have died... been mangled... yada yada... k, not worst, but it was pretty lame.
Lame.Possible.Scenario.
I was metal stamping with my friend that lives out in the boondocks of Moscow late-ish. At 11:00 I'm making my way back home .... and my car shuts down. I'm in the middle of the road, in the middle of no-where, no power, no headlights, -- No street lights! It's foggy and I'm afraid vehicles behind wont be able to see the van... since my van has no power for emergency lights!
I try to get out of the van. -- I can't, the door doesn't open, the window doesn't open; electric right? I try and call Jeff -- no cell phone reception. For a few moments I felt really trapped.
There was one door that opened, it just took me a few stunned minutes (that felt like forever!) -- Who would of thought it would be the electric side door? I pried that open and called 911.
I didn't see what option I had.... there were no houses, no buildings, no lights, I was in the middle of the road -- and I was afraid of leaving my van unattended because a car behind would hit it! -- (the road is a hwy with cars traveling 55mph) ... The 4 mile walk to Moscow in the dark didn't seem that appealing either.
After 20 minutes I'm still talking with operators, though on the second tier of operators at Latah County, -- but -- hurray! A vehicle passes through!
The man told me he could barely see me, I was using my cell phone light as my "emergency light" to slow him down. He was nice enough to park behind me and put his emergency lights on until I could get towed/etc.
Cops show up... fix battery... an hour later I am home.
I straight up asked the cop if he was going to give me a ticket, I didn't want anymore surprises!
What a lame story.
