Good and Evil....is the line really that thin???

I read a blog recently...(5 minutes ago actually...) and it renewed my desire to guard carefully what I watch/read and what my children watch and read...Here it is.
Let me know what you think of it!

Restaurant Quality...

So a fabulous friend of mine did some wonderful research after her husband had a serious case of food poisoning, and she came across a great website that allows the public to view health inspection reports on restaurants!! Oh was I excited to see this!! I typed in some of my most frequented restaurants and was happy to see that only 1 was a dive!! yay! We usually do take out if we eat restaurant food...lol Anyhow, here's the link!
Just go to the site and pick your town/city and then find any restaurant! I'm so excited about this! Granted, the restaurants have 24 hours notice before an inspection, but if it's a dive, they won't do well with the inspection anyways since there really is only so much you can do in 24 hours! haha
Hope this helps some of you pick and choose wisely!

Weight and Height and Age updates!!




Soooo, Silas is 8 1/2 yrs old, 4ft 8in tall, 77 1/2 lbs. which means he's in the 91st percentile for weight and 96th percentile for height! He's my super helper!

Shyla, is 3yrs 8 months old, 3ft 1in tall, and 31 lbs. Which means she's in the 26th percentile for weight and the 12th percentile for height! She's my little muffin!! lol

Malachi is 9 months next week and is 28 1/2inches tall and 22 lbs. Which means he's in the 68th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height! He sooo doesn't seem very babylike anymore, learning something new everyday...sigh. Today it was the stairs...and my babygate isn't big enough to go across!!! Guess what he's getting for Christmas this year?! Can't decide between a helmet and a babygate...lol

Soooo Silas is now an avid reader and although he found the Hardy Boys boring, he's really enjoying the Sugar Creek Gang!! A better choice anyways in my opinion! lol

Shyla...ohhh darling little Shyla, she spent about an hour erasing the walls and doors upstairs today. We also found out that she is a lefty! No wonder she is so different from Silas! She is my most creative child and loses herself easily in a game of pretend!

Malachi...so many milestone being past everyday! He's crawling and getting into everything, pulling himself up and looking proud once he's standing...and he loves the stairs! He also loves to scream...sigh, we've tried spraying him with water, gently slapping his lips...all to no avail. So we just put him in his crib and he screams and plays in there...it's not an upset scream, it's a look at me scream, but he does it ALL THE TIME! Soooo, after going through the whole, change his diaper, offer a bottle, offer food...he just gets put to bed...lol He'll be heading there soon according to my headache...hee hee

So that's my little update!
