snow, snow go away!

It seems like I haven’t written much about what we have been doing lately.

This morning when we woke up Ray said that it snowed. I just thought it was a little dusting, then Kara could see through the side of the curtain in the kitchen and she was saying" Ah Oh" and pointing outside, there was more snow than I was thinking.

Here are a couple of pictures of the yard. The boys like to tip the lawn chairs upside down and make ships out of them. They used some empty water bottles for their guns under the ship – nice. Just yesterday they were out riding their scooters, today the scooters are covered in snow. It will probably melt tomorrow. Got to love it!

I like to go to the dollar store and I always seem to buy things we really don’t need. I thought this princess tiara and wand were cute, Kara kept it on just long enough for me to snap this picture.

Trent started spring soccer this week. They have games twice a week. March seems way to early to be starting soccer. Last year it didn't start until April. I forgot my camera so no pictures - sorry!

Ray is still way busy with work, hopefully only a couple more weeks of busy season.

I will be happy when it warms up again so I can start working in the yard. I have a lot that needs to get done.

I started some seeds in my window seal with the Jiffy-7, they are peat pellets(Wal-mart) that seem to work well for growing. This will be my first year planting my own tomatoes. Last year I didn't grow tomatoes outside and the year before I bought them from Wal-mart. We will see if they work. I have done herbs and some flowers before (in the Jiffy pellets), but most of them didn't survive outside once I planted them. I guess I need to "harden" them off better before I plant them. I hope the outside planting outcome is better this year.

Sorry all the paragraphs are all running together. I have tried 3 times to put spaces in it and even though it shows it like that in the prepost area when I "publish" it , all the paragraphs are squished together. How do I fix it?

Happy Easter

Just wanted to post some pictures for the grandmas.

Hope you all had a Happy Easter.

1 year blog anniversary

Well, I've been blogging now for a year, not that I am very consistent, but it has been a good thing for me. It definitely helps me take more pictures of my kids. I also love blogs because I have been able to reconnected with old friends. I love reading about what is going on in your lives!

We have just been busy, but honestly not really doing much.

Here are some of the things that Kara likes to do lately (she makes me laugh!)

*She loves to get into her brother's candy (they got some on St. Patrick's day) This morning she came walking into the kitchen with a Reese's peanut butter cup - her favorite

*She also likes to put on other people's shoes. here she is in Trent's snow boots.

*She likes to "play" the piano

*She LOVES to sit in baskets and anything just her size.







*and she loves her baby!

side note there is a sweet deal going on at Albertsons. Their Kellogg's cereal (see store for varieties) are 3 for $5.00, and if you buy 7 you get a $10.00 off your next shopping coupon and you can use that to buy more cereal. So basically you get 7 boxes of cereal for 1.69 plus tax. There are some coupons out there that sweeten the deal, but even without coupons this is a HOT sale.

Quack!

Today the weather was nice so I took the kids to the park. We went to see the ducks in the pond and they seemed hungry. Kara had a graham cracker and we threw it out to them, they were all fighting over it, so we drove home and got some old frozen bread to feed to them. They must have been STARVING because they came up on the shore right by us, usually they just stay in the water. Anyway, the kids had fun and I got some good pictures. Kara was apparently starving too, because she helped herself to the bread.
