I have Monsters!!!

I've created a couple of monsters. There are three to be exact. Each of them have their own things they have become addicted too unfortunately. Not really addicted but very very interested in the different things they have become monsters about.

Mackenzie has gotten to be addicted to buying books. It really is a great thing to be addicted too, especially so young I think. We love the fact she loves reading now. She and I got to looking online this morning and found the Harry Potter series she has been wanting on sale for under fifty dollars. If you have priced this book series out, the cheapest we have found it for around town and other places on line like Barnes and Noble and Hastings have been listed for as little as 89.99.  That is the price for all seven books. I happened to be looking on the Box Tops for Education website this morning, entering yet again for the drawing they have to win 10000 box tops for your school and went over to the shop online section. It links you to the different companies that have agreed to give so many box tops per 10 dollars spent on their website. Scholastic Books is on the website and I clicked over to it and we found the Harry Potter series, along with the Fly Guy series she has gotten into reading. She hasn't made her final decision if she wants to buy the books but I think she is leaning more and more towards getting them.

Kylie has become fascinated with us curling her hair in soft foam curlers. She loves that we can curl her hair and it looks like Lindsey. Lindsey is a friend of hers from school who wore her hair curled almost every day to school last year. We've tried it a few ways and found with Kylie's hair, you don't use mouse when you roll it. They fall out faster than anything if you do! We ust make sure it is a little damp, not wet, but damp and roll it up before bedtime. She sleeps in them just fine and then we take them out after breakfast the next morning and she has the most beautiful soft curls. I think she also likes it becuase it also looks a little like Taylor Swift's hair when she has it curled in the ends. (She is a big Taylor Swift fan as of a few weeks ago.)

Gabryle has become fascinated with loose change. Pennies, quarters, dimes and nickels. We haven't bought him a piggy bank yet so he hasn't had a place to put the change he finds, so I took an old bottle that I cut a slit out for change I find in the dryer and let him have it. He was thrilled!!! He keeps his pennies and quarters that he has in it and has found it is fun to sit all day and take the coins out then put them back in. It also appears he loves to sit and just shake the plastic bottle with the coins in it. He loves it, I hate it.!He has learned though if there is a coin in the floor for some reason to grab it as soon as he sees it and puts it in his coin bottle. That's the rule for the kids. Who ever picks it up out of the floor gets to keep it in their piggy bank.

Maybe next week they will have new fascinations. We shall wait and see!!




Till Next Time!!!
