We have some really neat options here...there are spots for Habitat, at the Great Lakes Science Center, a local nature center that gives you the chance to work with animals...Nothing in our area. I wonder if I should put in some random zip codes to see if any online or mail in opportunity comes up

He's absolutely perfect

If I did not have to pick up Garretts cake, I would not be going out at all today!
Less than 9 weeks to go! I have a long list of things I'd like to get done before Sammy arrives, but as you all know, it's hard enough to get the day-to-day stuff done! 
They are going to shut it down for the "low" season and debate about bringing it back as crowds increase for President's Day. Oh, and they will raise the price. Just wait and see.
32 degrees here. My dorky DH has gone out to the lake. Not sure how long he will stay out.
Let's not forget the time I gained 2 pounds and it demanded to know what sort of shoddy behavior was responsible for my enormous girth. But losing 7 pounds overnight merely causes it to say "Good job." No more custom settings to subtract clothing!!
here. Last night the weatherman said that our temps over the next 10 days or so will be colder than our normal January temps, which is our coldest month. BLECH! 
Tammi, don't you read Fancy Nancy? "Refurbishment" is a fancy word for "Closed".
Hope Garrett has a great birthday celebration, Janet!
For all of us dealing with the arctic weather, stay warm!
Hope everyone is having a nice, long holiday weekend!
Life never slows down around here!
We lost some siding in the crazy wind on Christmas Eve and this time, it can't just be tacked back on, because it was literally ripped in places. Our Escape is also in the shop, due to some engine issues, and the price has gone up three times as they keep finding other issues. Luckily, Kevin's mom had an extra car to loan us this past week.
Alyssa and Matty were goofing around with closing bedroom doors the other night, and Noah was trying to play, too. Of course, he got his finger caught in the door. The blood and screaming was awful, but luckily, it turned out to be minor when all was said and done. Matty, on the other hand, was not so lucky, on New Year's Eve. He was running around the house and managed to fall and hit the side of his head on the corner of the doorway between the family room and kitchen. He is our first child to end up in the ER, and he's modeling two lovely staples for the next few days.
A Z-pack put an end to my sinus infection, but none of us are 100% right now. A friend told me yesterday, "You finally look pregnant!"
Take care, everyone!
& 
for you all Amy! Hope things slow down for you & I can't believe Sammy will be here soon!
