Dear Luke – After I kiss you good night and leave your room, please stop flipping around with your head at the foot of your bed and your feet at your pillow. You are getting bigger and it is much harder to switch you back, when you are sleeping, in order to cover you back up with your covers.
Dear Wade – When I sneak you an extra cookie, when no one is looking, just because I know you have this enormous sweet tooth… please don’t immediately run and yell out to the others “MOM JUST GAVE ME ANOTHER COOKIE!!!”.
Dear Zoe – Thanks for being such a good big sister and for being so proud of her you announce to everyone you see “That’s my baby sister!”.
Dear Liv – I’m sorry I have to lock the pantry door. But since you are still stealing cookies I have no other choice. Forgive me?
Dear Trey – I’m so sorry I did not have instructions written down in my notebook that was inside the birth kit. Thanks for covering for me as I raced home to get there before the Alpaca was born. And I’m sorry you have such a weak stomach you lost your appetite for Mexican food that night.
Dear Audrey – Teaching English to 1 and 2 year old little Spanish kids is not for the faint of heart. Don’t let them get you down and never let them see you sweat. And trust me when I say, “It’s nothing you are doing wrong when they just will not sit still.”
Dear David – I love you!
Dear Pete – Your dog lot is almost ready for you to move in. Please stop being mad at me.
Have a great weekend, my friends.

I have been working outside helping David with the new dog lot. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate putting in posts? Well I do. My Internet modem crashed on Wednesday. I got so much done around the house – makes me wonder if I should limit my blogging and online presence because this has made me realize just how much of my life I spend in front of the screen. We are still watching IO.
She is supposed to be pregnant. I’m wondering if she really is. If you missed it, one of our other Alpacas had her baby on May 14th.
The kids get out of school next Tuesday. Tonight we are going for their end of year pizza dinner. They are wearing their school shirts.
Quick picture – lots of “red eye” but I don’t care. I had them sitting watching Night Of The Museum, while we waited to go. They were too rowdy and sometimes I resort to TV as relief. I think they looked cute and colorful. So I’m sharing it.
Olivia was also watching the movie
Sort of. After a bath, and no nap today – she couldn’t stay conscious. See her boo boo? That happened about an hour ago. Kids and boo boo’s. They go together.
So…yeah…that’s all.
Good night – we are going to eat some pizza.
I was very happy the other day when I opened my door and saw a box. My Zero Water Pitcher was here! And if you are unsure what this is, it is an Ion Exchange water filtration system that removes all dissolved solids from tap water. (I received this ZeroWater pitcher to facilitate my review – but all opinions and verbiage written in this post are mine)
ZeroWater filters are the only filters that meet FDA definition for TDS(total dissolved solids) in purified bottled water. This means you get bottled water quality and taste right from your own pitcher instead of buying it from the store. It’s sort of yucky to think I am drinking stuff in my water that isn’t visible to the naked eye. But the ZeroWater pitcher removes all this and leaves me with pure water. That is a good feeling!
There is also a TDS checker. I tested my tap water and my TDS was at 0.56. I then ran this water through the filtered pitcher and tested it again.
It was 0.00. So the filter definitely does what it is supposed to do.
If this interests you, you can read more about this system at http://www.zerowater.com/. ZeroWater is also offering you a 30% off coupon. The code is MC30.
Oh and have you ever made your own flavored water?
I found a few pointers on how to do this at the following websites. It makes me want to do this NOW.
DAMYhealth has some interesting ideas on how to flavor your own water.

Hope you all have a great Friday! It’s going to be a good one here at our farm as we enjoy our new Alpaca baby!
