Bits and pieces
Recipe for an hour or two of fun: Ingredients: 2 boys, 1 sandbox
The boys should tuck their shirts into their pants. Then they can pretend to eat sand by shoving it down the neck hole of their shirts. Once the shirts are bulging and distended by a large load of sand, the boys should then stand up and body slam each other sumo style. Empty shirts, repeat. Post entertainment baths will be necessary.
For some reason all our Amazon consignment orders come in on Sundays. I process them on Monday, but sometimes I peek to see what Amazon wants me to send them. This time it was several copies of Hold on to Your Horses. This was a nice surprise since I’d just sent copies off to them and since this order was four times the size of any previous order. Apparently the book has been selling on Amazon. I make more money on direct sales, but people are more likely to chance upon it at Amazon. I poked around the listing and realized I’ve received a second positive review on the book. And then I realized that when you search for “Hold on to Your Horses” my book now leads the list rather than being lost 7 or 8 books down. So, Yay Amazon!
I watched Forbidden Kingdom with Howard last night. I was surprised to realize that it was funny. I was expecting an action/drama, but instead I spent the whole movie laughing and thinking “my kids would love this.” So I let them watch it today. They liked it too. It does have lots of action violence, but it is kung fu/cartoony rather than realistic.
