a loud distraction

This is what was in the front of our house around 11:30 this morning. Jesse was happily eating his lunch and his truck radar clicked in when he heard the faint sound of large, noisy vehicles approaching the house. Let's just say he did not finish his lunch. So, the boys stood and watched from the mudroom window as the neighbour's tree was cut down branch by branch. Jesse was not impressed when it was time to get ready for his nap, although lucky for him, he could view the action while I changed his diaper. I cranked his fan when it was time to sleep and shockingly he fell asleep to the sound of the wood chipper. Now the trucks are gone...must be a lunch break.

Also, GREAT NEWS....Andrew found out this morning that he passed the second part of his acupuncture exam!!! So excited and so very proud of him. YEAH!!!

And for our carbon fast....
Tuesday, March 24th: Eat no meat today and try to cut down on the amount of meat you eat each week. (As a vegetarian of over 15 years, I wholeheartedly support this one. Vegetarian food is so yummy, so try starting with one to two veggie nights a week. Think of all the cool cuisines you can experience in your home. And as a parent of young children, don't feel you can't do because you are afraid your children won't eat it. Persevere. My kids love tofu, chickpeas and have no clue they are eating veggie meat.)
