I've been bouncing around with ways to share what we've been up to and I think I've settled on Hello Monday. Lisa Leonard, has been writing beautiful Hello Monday posts for quite sometime. I've always loved them and decided I wanted to follow suit. Here goes!!
Hello Monday is where I share what we've been doing and greet the new week with a fresh perspective. Monday is a new beginning, right?! Want to join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section?
Hello cows!! Our school trip to your farm was so fun and educational.

Hello Conkers. For my American friends, that's a chestnut. Don't ya just love the word "conker?"
I think that's what we need to call it in America!
Hello unplanned, unorganized trip to Portsmouth. Even though it was last minute, we still enjoyed some of what you have to offer. We'll be back!

Ahhhh I'm so jealous!! You saw cows! They're my favorite. Well...after chickens...and dogs...and... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also a little jealous that you're getting the iPhone 6! I'm still using the 4S. Lexie would love it if I'd pass that down to her and get myself a new one, but I don't want to sign a 2-year contract here seeing as we've got less than 2 years left!
We've had an IPhone 4 for 3 years and we can't update them anymore with the new updates. Jerry just happened to be going to the US (he is there now). What we do is buy unlocked/no contract phones in the US. They are more expensive, but give us so much freedom to travel and get a sim card whenever and wherever we travel. We find that the upfront cost is worth it in the long run.
ReplyDeleteOur kids are getting our old ones (without the ability to use it as a phone right now, they just don't need it). They are excited! :)
I'm sure they are excited! That's what I thought about doing with Lex - just giving her my old one and she can use it whenever she's near WiFi, but then I'd need to get a new one. Maybe it's worth it to do it now, though, if yours no longer can update. (Mine is only a year newer than your old one, so I suppose next year mine will get left out of the update.) Decisions, decisions. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I would be mesmerized by that clock with the little man and the hammer and bell, that's awesome!
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea for a blog post. I might just have to 'borrow' it myself! I love posts where I can see life through someone else's eyes specifically the small things.
ReplyDeleteConkers. Brilliant. Sometimes the English just have better words for things. Especially their curse words!

Ha! Too funny!! Do you know there is a game too? You put a conker on a string and try to hit your opponents conker. Here's a school website I found after a quick google search. http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/conkers.html I should do a blog post about it! ;)
ReplyDeleteSam taught me the game but I'd still never put two and two together. Duh! x
ReplyDeletePlease do!! I think it'd be fun to start a Hello Monday link up if enough people are interested. Yes, you English do. And yet, we Americans have names like ping pong for table tennis! ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha!! =)
ReplyDeleteBecause of my Irish mother, I grew up calling chestnuts, conkers, and I'm embarrassed to admit, the first time a chestnut was pointed out to me as a chestnut (only a few years ago), and not a conker, I couldn't believe that I hadn't recognized it for what it was. I had no idea what a chestnut was!
ReplyDeleteHello...pumpkin pie dip...a new recipe I'm trying.
ReplyDeleteOh, so many good things going on here! Also, I had no idea what a conker was--learn a new thing every day :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a picture-esqe week!
