Easter time fun

The highlight of last Saturday was coloring easter eggs. All morning that's all the kids asked to do. They were complete angels when we went to meijers because I had to threaten them with NOT coloring eggs if they were bad. I have admit I wish I had something like coloring eggs every time we go to the store.

Easy Baking and Roller Skating

MMMMM MMMMMM Good! I can't even tell you how excited Georgia was to use her new Easy Bake Oven. First anyone who knows, knows she is crazy about "helping" me in the kitchen. So, when she go to sit at the kitchen table and do it all by herself she was beyond happy. She made a cake and put sprinkles on it when she was done she shared it with everyone in the house including the Jacks friend that was over playing. I remember my Easy Bake oven and loved it too. I'm just so happy she can have great memories with hers too.




We have discover Terry Hall Roller Skating specials on Sunday. $5.00 per kid and parents skate free. (Evan is free) so, for $10.00 we can skate for two hours. Super cheap family fun. Jack, Georgia and Evan all have their own skates and are doing really good. Jack is very proud of himself. Evan need to be pushed in a stroller after a few times around the rink. Lucky for us they have umbrella stroller to use, I don't think he minded that they were pink.

Internet gods!

Well it's been a three weeks but my internet is all squared away! We now have AT&T installed and my kids are finally happy to be back on the internet to. So..... I'll be back to blogging

Thank you,

52 Degrees in January!

This is a picture of the kids on Sunday January 29th after Steven helped them build a snow fort. Today Tuesday January 31 2012 it's melting as I type this, because it's flippin 52 degrees outside! In Michigan! CRAZY!

Chicken Soup for the Soul

There is nothing better in the winter than homemade soup and bread to go with it. I got my bread maker as a wedding gift years ago and used it a lot when we first got married. After the newness wore off we put it away for years. Last year while I was on a soup making kick I pulled it out and made a loaf. The kids went bonkers for it! Jack was crazy about it. I make an Italian herb bread and it is really yummy. The bread goes sooooo good with the chicken noodle soup. This dinner has turned into a Sunday dinner favorite!

yeah I'll put that on my calendar

Every year I get a calendar for Christmas or right after Christmas and pick one up half price. (I'm cheap) So, this year I didn't get one for x-mas and I thank God I wasn't at the mall right the holidays and never got one. Of course I'm not just happy with the horse of month I need a certain one I like the"Busy mom" calendar it has lost of room to write on, it has magnets that stick to my fridge and even has stickers the kids like to help put on like birthdays and dr. appt. I finally picked one up last week, I feel like I have been out of touch. Call me old fashion but I HAVE to write it down. I have a "smart phone" but I don't want to have to type in on that damn touch screen and always have to pull it out of my purse when I'm making plans or on the phone with the Dr. or school events and thing. When I used to work I needed a planner I lived by the thing I was almost lost without it and that's how I felt up until last week. I was writing on the empty spaces on last Decembers. Note for next year: It's going on the christmas list again.

Got my boots on and ready to go!

Evan came to me just like this and says "I ready go play outside with the kids!" He put his boots on all by himself and thought that was good enough. He cracks me up. He just want to be like the bigger kids all the time. " I do it! I do it" I hear him say this all day long. Soon enough big guy, I keeping you baby as long as I can!
