Spelling practice

Since the girl is missing school today I figured we should at least practice spelling. They seem to like playing in the shaving cream. Can you see her word "loved"?

Play time...

The girl came home early from school yesterday (not feeling well) so she's enjoying today here at home with me and the little guy.

Currently they are playing with edible dough (1 part peanut butter, 1 part dry milk and a little bit of honey). Fun fun fun.

Closet anyone?

Bedrooms need a closet so this is the one the man and helpers built. Once the drywall is finished (we are planning to hire someone to do the taping and mudding) we will paint and then the doors and trim can go up. I think Kevin's uncle will be back to help us with that - he's great.

Lofty thoughts

Saturday (April23, 2011) the man and some helpers closed in our loft. When the project is completed we will have a four bedroom house instead of three. Thanks to the men who helped!

Have a Blessed Easter

Before & After Hair

She's giving it to Locks of Love.

Lego house

The little guy's latest creation...

Shoes

The girl is happy because she has new light up shoes (I don't usually get them light up shoes but she really liked these and they were the right price.)

While we were out grocery shopping this morning the seven year old told me she needed new shoes (her old ones are in pretty bad shape) so we went to Kohls. She liked these shoes and they were the right price. Regular price $34.99 - they were on clearance and I had a $10 coupon that came in the mail yesterday. So today we got the girl shoes she likes for 52 cents. I love a good bargain.

Pioneer Park

It was a beautiful day to play at the park.

I am so thankful for friends who watched the little guy at the park while I picked his seven year old sister up from school and took her to the doctor. Pink eye or allergies - not sure - treating for both - no school tomorrow.

Say Cheez-It

Today is the brown haired girl's 7th birthday.

Tomorrow is #37 for the man.

Happy Birthday!
