We're hanging out at home again this morning. I need to run up to the school to run an errand, and then we're off to the grocery store for supplies for school lunches. As you can well imagine, the munchkins are not terribly excited about school starting. But, with Ramadan around the corner, the school day will be shortened which should make things a bit easier.
The video posted today is of 'Gomer' (with a long O sound) our crab. He just molted, so he's quite a bit bigger than when we first got him. He's the same species I made a post about over a year ago. I don't eat ANY seafood, so I have no issues keeping seafood as pets! The 'commentary' is courtesy of Munchkin #1. You may need to turn your volume up a bit in order to hear the commentary.
We went to the hardware store last night to buy silicone caulk for the kids' bathroom and ended up buying two new plants for the living room - much to the delight of the munchkins. The kids really seem to enjoy our plants.
Two of Munchkin #2's friends are back in town, but we've not been able to reach any of Munchkin #1's buddies. It's amazing to me how people wait until the very last minute to come back into the country after summer holiday. It makes for some very jet lagged students at the kids' school!
Now, on to three topics near and dear to my heart: religion, science and education. Regardless of how folks in the States feel about evolution, students are being handicapped if they are not taught how to understand it. If a student wishes to become a doctor, if they don't understand evolution then they will be greatly impaired in their biology classes (just one example folks).
