We Remember


 
 
Can you remember where you were? I can, I was on 71 north heading to 315 on my way to work listening to Dave and Jimmy on Wnci. I remember hearing about the first tower and immediately started into crying. I remember rushing into my job calling my mom asking her if she had reached our family in New York. I remember calling my son's daycare asking if everyone was okay. Then I made my last phone call to my husband (who worked 3rds at the time) I said get out of bed an turn the TV on now! It was a somber day at work, I couldn't focus on anything, none of us could. Our boss let us leave early, I sped home and picked my son up from day care. Unfortunately he knew a bit about what happened because they were around TV's. He said "Mommy why would someone want to kill so many people"? How do you answer that question, how do you look at a 5 year old and answer that?
 
I don't think anyone will ever forget that horrific day, nor should anyone forget it!
 



I ask everyone here that follows My eeny weeny Blog to please have a moment of silence today, please say a prayer for those who lost their lives that day. Please say a prayer for the family members out there today that still mourn their losses. If you see a fireman, policeman, EMT, any Military member, please tell them thank you for all that they did and still do to help keep us, America safe!
 
We shall never forget. We shall keep this day; We shall keep the events and the tears in our minds, our memory and our hearts and take them with us as we carry on!
 
 

What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we've never met.

DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

  I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead. I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great! I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome with the animation and the songs. I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well. I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we can make them together. Here's what you'll need: construction paper toilet paper rolls scissors glue crayons Create: First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll. Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size. It doesn't have to be perfect. On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations. Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll. Remember this ...
