Tonight I made my father’s mac and cheese. Spam and all! I love it! Zachary loves it and even Kylie! Melody still refuses to eat most food out there but she did try orange juice today! 
So here are the photos. If you are interested in the recipe let me know. It is very simple!
After receiving this book through Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers I fell in love. It is such a sweet story of I Believe Bunny who believes in God and all that He can create and do for the world. The day begins raining and I Believe Bunny is soggy and down but asks God for the rain to end soon. He hears a sound and discovers a little mouse in the river who can’t swim. I Believe Bunny may be small but he sets his fear aside and in his belief he has the strength to save Little Mouse. Kids will learn that nothing is impossible. My daughters who are only four and two loved the story and leaning that through your belief in God anything is possible. The illustrations are amazing and draw you into the story even more. I belive that this story will be a favorite for many years to come. I may have to start buying this one as a baby shower gift if any more of my friends have babies!
| I love this photo of Melody. She is truly happy jumping up and down on the little playscape thingy that Grandma and Grandpa have at their house. This is her truly as a happy little girl. Well not so little..she is going to be 5 soon!! Please stop my kids from growing up! I love them being little! |

Lately that is the word that can explain most of my days, Frustrated! I have a tween boy who seems to think that what I say isn’t the way to go..so he talks back and just doesn’t do it. Which in turn drives me nuts! I love him and I appreciate the help he gives when he does help but it isn’t often enough in my book.
Melody being 4 and thinking so much about being 5 in a few months is starting to get very whiney and just complaining a LOT! She also doesn’t like to listen much anymore. Once in a while she will surprise me but otherwise she is trying to be little miss independent all the time.
Kylie I think is starting to feel icky from two new molars that are coming in so she has been crabby and not eating much at all. She and I actually took a bit of a nap this evening on the couch. I wasn’t feeling too hot myself so I layed down to try to get a few minutes of shut eye and she came and cuddled right up under the blanket with me and we both fell asleep. It is nice to know that I can still take a nap with my little girl.
Yesterday on our way home from Royal Rangers and Missionettes I got the kids into the car and then went to get in to warm it up…Pop…the door stop spring pops out and falls on the ground. The then caused the problem of not being able to even shut my door. The weather wasn’t any fun either..freezing cold and super windy and snowing!! I had the girls covered up with blankets in the car thank goodness and they were fine..but I was loosing my mind. Thank goodness there were still several dads around from the group pick ups and one of them was able to push in the part that was getting in the way and I was able to shut my door. Now I have to be careful to not hit someones car when I open my door!But it still works thank goodness. I already have plans to bring it into the shop on Tuesday of next week so hopefully they can fix this little problem too! It is just never ending with this vehicle!
Anyway..with all of this crazyness going on we are going to Borders tomorrow to celebrate Elmo’s 3rd Birthday! I think the girls will love it, Zachary will be able to look around for a book or two for himself as well. Peter plans on stopping at Bob’s stores to see if they have any boots that he can wear at work..he has a coupon good for the first week of March..so we will be just looking this time.
Lets now just say that I really enjoy when the kids go to bed! It is the only time it is quiet around here! Being a stay at home mom is wonderful and stressful at the same time. I love my children dearly and enjoy educating them but boy can I use a day or two off once in a while!
Just some fun from the past week. The kids have been enjoying time together doing crafts and reading stories. The girls enjoy playing educational computer games at times throughout the day. Click on the photos to enlarge them.
We had a fabulous holiday. Peter had almost two weeks off so we have really been enjoying family time with him. The kids are having a blast playing with their new toys and Zachary reading his many books. Peter and I have spent some time online watching movies and just spending some time talking..which we don’t get much time to go otherwise. It has been lovely. On Monday he goes back to working way to many hours but it is what we need to continue to pay all of our many bills. Life always goes on after the holidays. We have had snow and some beautiful sunsets. I will post photos of those another time. Here is a small sampling for my friends of what our holiday was like. (Sorry..I am not in any photos..I took them all!)
This is the link to the news story about Adam Walsh’s murder finally being put to rest.
Please pray for the family ..even after all of these years it must be a horrible situation to have to live through for all of them.
We have decorated the tree, helped to decorate Grandma and Grandpa’s tree, made christmas ornaments, colored in christmas pictures, made cards..still need to mail them though!! Lots done but still lots to get done. Most of the gifts are purchased already..still need to wrap them all though..my least favorite part of Christmas.
Ho, Ho HO everyone!
