Ring, busy month, and a salt lick

Found!!! Wedding ring and shinguard!
The ring was in a side pocket of my purse and the shinguard was buried under a pile of books in Kira's room.
I'm not so bothered anymore...  and I'm getting more sleep, so life is good.
We've got so much going on this month - Taia's spelling bee, Parent/Teacher conferences, Girl Scouts Thinking Day, NYO practice & competition for Kira, a robotics workshop in Anchorage for Taia, and GS Cookie booth sales... on top of regular old soccer & ballet schedules.  I'm grateful for all the extra sunshine we've been getting because it helps me make it through each crazy week.
This week I learned that moose will lick every part of a car that has road salt coating it.  I also learned how important it is to check the driveway and the side yards for moose before sending six kids out to the car to be driven to the bus stop in the morning.  My kids' childhood memories will be so different from mine... septic tanks, trees, internet, HDTV, driving everywhere, and moose licking the car in the middle of the night.  Oh, and the family ice rink in the front yard...!
