Wargo World Up Close… Very Close

First off, Happy New Year!  We had a great Christmas up here, and are very grateful for all the gifts sent to us and the boys.  One gift the kids really like is the digital handheld microscope given by their Aunt Robin and Grandpa Garvan.  It plugs into our computer and takes great shots.  The boys have been running around grabbing things to get a  close-up view, and looking at their meals and asking “Dad, can I look at this under the microscope?”  Their bodies and clothes have been great sources of amusement, so much so that in the name of modesty, we had to curb their enthusiasm a bit by setting limits of only looking at parts of our bodies not normally covered by clothes.  They’re still getting the hang of it, especially focusing, but it’s providing lots of amusement for us up here in the land of no-TV. 

Let’s play a game!  Here are some of the images taken with the scope.  At the bottom, I’ll list what they are.

Our Little Sweatshop

In the staff lounge, there will be a staff craft fair this week.  I’m not too crafty, but the Mary is (like a FOX), and the boys love to sew!  Thus, a few weeks ago, Mary and the boys set out and made a nice big pile of rice bags.  The end results will be sold tomorrow.  Here’s our advertisement!

If any of you are interested in getting your own Wicked Awesome Warmer, just let us know!  They are only $5.00 plus shipping and handling (extra if you’re in the continental US or Hawaii).
