Waiting for Popcorn....

Last night while the kids watched a movie, I did the typical mom thing and made popcorn. Shannon realizes what I am doing and runs to the kitchen at lightning speed....wish that I would have gotten that on camera.

Oh, the excitement!

 

She can't contain herself!!


Of course, she then realized that I had the camera out...such a ham. I have no clue what she is doing here..
She is sooo much fun!

 

Wordless Wednesday

Puppies!!!!!

Back in February our sweet dog Lulu had puppies....YIKES!!

A boy and a girl. After much debate, we finally settled on names: Milo and Molly.

Now, at 8 weeks old, they seem so big...because they are!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where Have We Been????

    Ok, so I'm really, really, really bad about keeping up with posts on this blog. Life has so much going on and I truly forget to snap pictures of it. We have been doing the usual....schoolwork, chores, enjoying this wonderful weather.

    Over the weekend, we visited family for Easter. The kids had lots of fun with their cousins.



 

   

 We also went skating yesterday, that was FUN!!! I should have taken pictures...


 

 

 

 

 

Mommy, Look at Me!!!

 These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago...I know, I am such a terrible blogger! I just never get around to actually putting this together. There is always way too much going on in this zoo that I call home.

Serious Driver

Weee!!!

Let's try that again.

I'm a monkey!!


 

Apparently, I am such a bad mom...I didn't take any pics of Rhiannon. Yikes! Next post will be all about her.

Play Dough Fun

I decided to try my hand at making homemade play dough earlier this week. The kids and I had so much fun!!!
Recipe at the bottom.


 



I found this recipe at The Imagination Tree . There are plenty to choose from. This is the one we chose:
   1/2 cup of salt
   2 cups plain flour
   2 tbsp oil
   2 tbsp cream of tartar
   1.5 to 2 cups boiling water
   few drops of glycerin (optional)
   food coloring and/or flavoring of your choice

Mix all ingredients in bowl and knead until smooth. Have fun!

Sausage & Pancake Muffins

I saw these on Pinterest and thought I'd give them a try ....what's not to love : pancakes and sausage combined into a kid friendly package!!
