My mom has suffered from leg cramps at night for years.
It seems I have inherited this malady.
When complaining about it to her the other day, she recommended Ivory Soap.
"What?" I asked?
"Rub Ivory soap on your sheets. It works."
"That is ridiculous."
"Try it."
So I did. And the cramps went away. I finally looked it up on Google and found this at Snopes.com: http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/legcramp.asp
The book I just finished reading, Peace Like a River, mentioned an old man w/bad arthritis who would put his hands in a bee hive every now and again.
Something I will need to try some day.

Pebbles and Bam Bam
Lucas and Olivia dressed as cartoon characters that they only know from a tee-shirt.
Wendy did a great job making their adorable outfits.

Cardiac and Dominoes
The kids have a stretch and grow class at school. They learn about the body in this class.
Olivia pointed to her heart and said "Cardiac" and then pointed to her tummy and said "Dominoes".
Note: She says "cardiac", daddy says "tummy"

Pledge of Allegiance
Lucas has just learned the Pledge of Allegiance.
His teacher is awesome.
Miss Peggy breaks it down phrase by phrase and makes sure the kids know what it means:
Lucas: “pledge means promise”
Lucas: “indivisible means you can see it, like air.”
Miss Peggy: “no air is invisible, indivisible means you it can be broken”
Lucas: “you can’t break air, so air is indivisible”

Will You Still Read to Me When I'm Twenty?
Olivia turned three in July, so she we read her 3 books at bed time.
Lucas turned 5 on Monday (9/22) "HAPPY DAY-O" so he is now up to 5 books.
Wendy and I told the kids that this Book a Year thing is going to stop soon.
While walking him to his bedroom last night, Lucas asked, "How many books are you going
to read to me when I'm twenty?"
"When you're twenty, you can read to yourself ... like mommy and daddy do."
"No, I want you to read to me."
"We'll see Lucas, we will see ... "

You're Making My Hand Dizzy
Olivia and Lucas held opposite ends of a jump rope. Lucas started to whip his end around in a circle causing Olivia's hand to keep pace with the rotation.
Olivia said, "Stop it Lucas. You're making my hand dizzy."
