Screen shots and penguins

Ok y'all....today was Back to Work day for all my friends here. No kiddos, just work. I miss them :( But I'm glad to be home with my babies for the time being. Although, I had a few friends come to see me today, and apparently the copiers were ALL offline until like 3:00!! HOW could that happen today?? Of all days?? Yeesh. So it's basically going to be mayhem at the front office at our 2 copiers come Monday morning. 

Tonight was my first night alone putting both girls to bed (remember? Hubby is a firefighter who works 24 hour shifts?)...I was really scared that this was going to be a serious problem- it all rested in Brooklynn's hands - if she would stay down while I was putting down Autumn. Though it took a while for B to actually go down...and STAY down, everything worked out. But now....my fear is what's going to happen in the middle of the night. ha!

Anyway, I wanted to show you guys, that I'm NOT the only one in my family that is keen on cleaning and organizing..ha! Look at what my 2 year old did..and they're all in a straight line! No, we don't fry a lot...the bottles of oil are courtesy of Publix's BOGOfree sales - coupled with some coupons...who can pass up such a great deal?? lol. I'm actually quite the health nu t:)

And these were taken today...A CONSTANTLY begs to hold B...actually it's more like "hold me?" but in a tone that you know she's asking to hold B, not to be held..lol.

She just loves her! I hope this continues - my dream was always to have siblings that were BFs.

So, it seems as though it's finally catching up with me - this whole tired thing. ha! Naps have been a regular part of my day for the last few days, and I can't seem to get back up once I wake up. Though, in the mornings, I'm rearin' to go! 

OK!!! I JUST figured something out - like TWO seconds ago!! How to take a screen shot on a PC - you know, you MAC users and Iphone users can??? SOOO simple. You know that button on the top of your keyboard {PrntScr} (print screen)?? When you have what you want on your screen - push that button and it copies it to your clipboard ready to be pasted onto whatever! What?! so easy!! Here's what I just did it on...

(I did have to crop it in Paint so you couldn't see all my tabs and files I've downloaded on the bottom! ha!)

Anyway...since there are so many penguin activities out there, I wanted to share something I did with my kiddos all the time.

After a few days of learning about penguins (these nonfiction penguin books are some good ones for younger kids - do you have a fave nonfiction penguin book?), I have my kids go online to this website at Discovery Kids and take this penguin quiz (what I took a screen shot of - look up!)...I have done this with my 3rd graders for a few years, but I haven't tried it out on my 2nd graders yet...and I won't be there this year for my penguin unit to try it out.

Ok...I have to go watch Tori & Dean now....or Hawaii Five-O...or both.

Don't forget to send me some love - I love getting your comments! :)
