"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Clocky

Okay, so I was going to post a link... but I am link stupid.

Last night when Justin got sick of learning (who needs learning??) he started looking at videos of stupid things online.

He found some videos of an alarm clock called "clocky."

Apparently when "clocky" goes off it jumps off your side-table and begins rolling around the room. Justin said he wished he could get one for his Grandma Duck who once hid alarm clocks in the suitcases of missionaries in her care.

This morning our own three versions of "clocky" came into our room.

Not only do they "jump from their resting places" and "run about the room making irritating noises" but they also break eyeglasses and demand to be fed.

But I don't think we are giving any of them away.

Your kids sound just like ours. At 7 every morning, they come in, loudly, asking for breakfast. We tell them to go watch TV. Parenting at its finest. :)
