Turkey Smash

Snow, snow, and more snow. It started around 10:00 am, and as of 10:00 pm it's still going strong. The last time I checked there was four inches on our front porch. As of now, King has a two-hour delay.

Turkey had a complete meltdown this evening. It's kind of a long story, but here goes: Molly had managed to chew the "squeaker" out of her new toy. I asked Turkey to throw it away, and for all I knew he did. Then a few minutes later I hear a noise that sounded like a duck call. King told Turkey to go into the kitchen (I was fixing dinner), and show me what he had. Well, he had got the squeaker out of the trash and had it in his mouth. I told him once again to put it in the trash. He did. Once Ben got home he took the trash out. I was telling Ben about the “duck call” and Turkey walks over to the trash to get it. When he realized that the trash had been taken out he started to cry and say that he wanted it back. Well, it just escalated from there, and it was actually kind of funny. But what was really funny was when Turkey decided that he was going to get it himself. He opens the door to the garage, opens the garage door and starts to walk to the trash. King stopped him, but just barely because he was laughing so hard! His meltdown went on for about 30 minutes. I know we don’t really help the situation when we laugh at him, but sometimes it’s kind of funny. This doesn’t happen very often, thank God.

Turkey and I did find something cool on line today. Storylineonline.net. It’s videos of celebrities reading children’s books. I had received an email from Barnes and Noble with a link to their web site where authors read their books. We wanted to check it out because the current book is Strega Nona, a book that Turkey had just heard at preschool on Tuesday. He loved listening/watching it and insisted that we find more. Soooo, after we watched all the videos on BN.com, we googled story time online and storylineonline.net popped up. We had a good time hearing stories that we’ve never read before.

Well, it’s getting late and I want to read for a few before I fall asleep. Goodnight!
