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!!

Lunch Did This ....

                               Gotta love an after lunch nap!!

Excuse the dirty table...we did just have lunch after all.

Warmer Weather!!!

   It has been getting warmer around here lately and while I can't say that I'm really excited for a heat wave...the kids sure are.



Still have alot of crazy things going on around here....hoping they settle down soon.

Blah!

I just haven't felt like posting for a while now.....things are just busy around here...nothing seems to be going right and it just seems like it will never end. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Here are a few pictures of a recent outing with the family. We went to an air show and it was so much FUN!!! So here ya go:

Wordless Wednesday...

I will push....

Amy over at Raising Arrows, has a great freebie today. It's a devotional for teaching children about the fruits of the spirit. Check it out.

Wordless Wednesday....Random Pics..

Pizza Casserole Anyone?!?!

Ok, so Pinterest has lots of interesting looking recipes, and this is one of them!

Next time, I will use more pepperoni. Kinda sad, huh?

Of course the kids loved this! Anything to do with pizza is a hit in our house.We could eat pizza everyday and not get tired of it. It may sound bad, but it's true. I did tweak the recipe to fit what I had on hand: I used the tri-colored rotini instead of egg noodles. This is definitely a keeper!

Wordful Wednesday...Playing Catch Up

   So, instead of Wordless Wednesday, this is going to be a Wordful one.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did! There has been a lot going on around here. Too much in fact.
   For starters, Handsome Man has a new job! An new adventure has begun with this new job...many prayers are needed and appreciated.
   The kids have managed to stay relatively well, except for a few sniffles, thank goodness. I need to order some berrywell from this great site. Hope they aren't out of stock...I have also thought of just ordering whole elderberries from here. I guess I need to get on the ball.
   I am hoping to get some sewing done in the next few days....Shannon needs a Christmas stocking....I can't believe that Christmas is about here. I also have to buy her an ornament...This year has flown by so fast and my baby is growing to fast....she is already 6 months old.
   Also, my camera has finally bit the dust...so I need to save up for a new one....I am not sure what to get this time around...any suggestions? Time to get some chores done around here, so by for now.

Follow Me....

I have finally went over to see what all the fuss is about. I have to admit, it's pretty neat. So, if you like what you see, follow me:

Wordless Wednesday: Fall Favorites

Wordless Wednesday...Thinking Hard?!?!

Wordless Wednesday: Hey Big Brother!

Our Week So Far....

 This week is going by sort of slow. We are reviewing as far as school is going. I have the pleasure of teaching 3 children this year...though I am not going to be working all that hard with Kevin. He is still a little guy. But he is very eager to learn. I love when he says "teach me to count, Mama". It warms my heart. I could just eat him up...though as dirty as he gets, he wouldn't taste very good, lol.



Always a ham for the camera!

And because I have nothing else to write, I give you pictures!!!

Smiling for big brother
