I just found this awesome site today, thanks to an ISS student...

www.freerice.com

It's all about ending world hunger by encouraging education. I LOVE the vocab quiz... You earn 10 grains of rice for every correct answer and the rice is donated to feed hungry people world wide. :) Log on and check it out!

Have fun and do good at the same time.... "Heck Yeah!"

Lucky you!

We know by now that Hudson Moore is a goofy kid, but here are a few pictures to prove it. (I've got more, but I didn't bring them to work with me this morning, so they'll have to wait for another time.) The first pic is Hudson with a McDonalds Happy Meal box on his head, he was using the M on the handle as glasses... apparently this gave him super powers, and I was laughing so hard I couldn't warn him that he probably couldn't see good and may get hurt. Fortunately he didn't, unfortunately it is now one of his new favorite toys... The second picture is a little harder to explain. Hudson only wears a pull up for overnight or sunday naps... He's not wearing pants because he was already asleep when I got the pull up on him. Anyhow, I was on the computer when he woke up and I could hear him banging around in his room for a while before he imerged with one sandle on and one sneaker with a black sock, he danced around the room for a minute and then disappeared again... Also, he's been referring to himself as Rudolf the RedNosed Reindeer for the past few days... I don't know... don't ask...

I have alot of time to browse the internet while at work. I know, it's sad and pathetic and not really work... yadda yadda yadda, but a girl has to be entertained somehow, and watching students try to sneak out their cell phones can only amuse me for so long... Anyway, by some chance, I happened across this really cool website www.worth1000.com. It's based on the saying a picture is worth 100 words, and a photoshopped picture is worth even more! :) Here are a few that I found funny. If you go browse, I suggest the Modern Renisance galleries where you will find some of your favorite modern celebrities in classic artwork... (My wall in ISS has a bunch.) I would warn you though that some of the pictures can be kind of gross... like when they make celebrities look old,fat, dead...ect.... But over all an impressive site.. Check it out sometime...
And No. This is not a paid blog. It's my real opinion... it just sounds like a sales pitch...

Aren't we a cute family? I thought so!

MEET CHARLIE: ("ie" is more feminine since she is a girl, I guess)

color: Pink

Occupation: Hudson's best friend and "coolest toy in the world" (direct quote, I kid you not.)

Likes: Riding in mommy's pocket, being "very magical" and talking too much.

Dislikes: getting lost

(This is a pig I bought last May for a geocache, but glad I kept.)

Has Anyone Seen Charley?

We lost Charley, it was very sad. Yesterday we went to a Chinese food restruant in Havre, and I accidently opened the glass door into Hudson's face. I felt horrible, so I offered to buy him a 25cent toy from the machine in the Chinese Food place. It was a squishy pink pig that Hudson immediately named Charley, "No, mommy, it's a girl Charlie..." oh, my mistake... and played with her quite happily for about 30 minutes; talking to her, laughing at her jokes, and giving her all sorts of magical abilities...

Then we went to Ben Franklins, and Hudson was supposed to wait in the car with daddy, but Hudson had to go potty so daddy took him inside... Somewhere between the van and the bathroom Hudsons mittened little hand lost its grip on the squishy little pig and Charley was lost. We searched and searched but in the end, I had to say, "Sorry honey, Charley is gone."

I have never seen this child cry so hard in my life. As Grandpa was driving away, Hudson wailed, "Stop! Stop! Go back! We need to find Charley!" When bribed with all sorts of things I thought could replace Charley, hudson would cry, "I don't want ____, I want CHARLEY!"

I mean he only had it for a little while, but he was very attached. I felt so helpless and close to tears myself. I could do NOTHING to help him. I want to go back and pump quarters into the machine to buy a new one, but I can't afford to waste more money and we probably won't get back to the place for a while.

Grandma moore said, "Let's hope he forgets about it," b ut this morning when we climbed in the van to go to church Hudson's first question was, "Are we going back to get Charley now?"

:( Poor little kid...
