Sea Creatures





I have been meaning to take the kids to the aquarium for a while now so we finally did it this past Saturday. My absolute favorite was the octopus. He was quite phenomenal up close but I couldn't help feel sorry for the litte space he had to swim in. Touching the manta rays was also fun. The jelly fish were so pretty.



This made me think of home - California. Near my home town (in Monterey) there's this amazing aquarium with the most beautiful jelly fish exhibit. The next time we visit, I'm definitely taking the family here.

Your kids will love it and I wouldn't mind going again! It's not as big as I thought but great for kids our age? How are you?

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
