Field Day

Curtis had field day at the YMCA in K'ville today to end out the year. They played lots of water games.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Emily and Tiffany. They celebrated with a princess themed party at Covington Park in Rural Hall.

Zoo time

We visited the zoo.

A few pictures:

Time for basketball!

Curtis got to make the first shot!

Emily finally learned to ride her bike! (with training wheels) but she finally has a paved area to ride on and practice. :-) And she has that really cute pose with her arms on her chest (ha ha). I'm not sure where that comes from but I'm noticing a trend in her pictures on each post.

Cloth bags..

I thought these were interesting facts. I have been using cloth grocery bags for a little over a year now and one of them recently busted (errm, bag boys fill them too heavy) so I was ordering a few extras and came across these little tidbits:

"Did you know?"
The petroleum used to make 18 plastic bags could drive a car for 1 mile?
The EPA estimates that it takes a plastic bag over 500 years to decay in a landfill?
The average person’s plastic bag legacy will be 4.175 million years?
The worldwide consumption of plastic bags is over 500 billion, over 1 million per minute?

How interesting. I love my cloth bags. I use them not only at the grocery store but to tote things around, for library books, at Wally World and the mall. They are very convenient and sturdy, well until baggers keep filling them too full.

Horne Creek Historical Farm

Emily and I visited Horne Creek Historical Farm in Pinnacle, NC this morning during Heritage Day. I love Horne Creek! It's been about a year since our last visit.
