Karate Exam

Taylor and Carter had their karate exam tonight for advancement. Both boys started this session as orange belts. After completing their third session tonight (and this only being their second exam) they advanced!

Carter is now a yellow belt and Taylor is a red belt (he advanced two belts). Woo Hoo!!

They only earned certificates tonight, but will get their belts at the beginning of the next session, which begins April 11th. (The instructor did not have the children's sizes to get them in advance.)

We are soooooo proud of our little men.

Despite the look on their faces, they were both very excited. They were too excited to smile simultaneously and this was the only picture that was in focus and they were both looking at the camera.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.
