Freecycle rocks
July 5, 2004
I scored an awesome k'nex set, never used, through Freecycle this weekend. It's a model of Saturn V which, when assembled, is over 3 feet tall and even has a countdown sound chip(!)
The kids are going to love it, and they're going to put it together today during "math/logic game day" here at my house. I only know of one other family who will be there, but it should be fun.
Cole woke up this morning and IMMEDIATELY asked me to play his new memory game with him. Monk woke up and IMMEDIATELY started reading Swiss Family Robinson. He wanted to stay up late last night and read it, but he had had a big, exciting day and math club starts at 10 AM, so I wanted him to get some sleep.
I really can't complain, though. It's awesome that he's so excited about reading that it's the last thing he thinks about before he goes to sleep, and the first thing he thinks about when he wakes up.
I'm sipping iced coffee and am about ready to get up and clean up my kitchen. i made some good hummus last night, with cilantro, and I'll put it out for snacks and lunch. I think it's going to be a good day.

Mmmm - Swiss Family Robinson - how I loved that book!
yeah, freecycle rocks. I got a nice futon mattress through that.
I got a futon mattress, too! It was one of my very first freecycles, and I got it with a really nice rug which is now in my bedroom.
