Ok...maybe I do spend to much time on pinterest. Here is my latest project just made a 5 foot and 3 foot ledge shelf for $10...the middle piece is part of Grace's piano. 

Wednesday, March 19, 2014

What to do on a rainy day?...make a couple of shelves, clean some bedrooms, do laundry, admire my new lamps, clean bathroom, vacuum...need I say more.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness!

Made some homemade hand soap today. Bar of soap, warm water and some glycerin and you get 3/4 gallon jug of soap for about $1.10.

Had a missions conference at church this week and an International Dinner today. This is a picture of our booth for Australia; where we had damper bread, meat pies and pea soup, fairy bread and lamington cake.

You gotta love this kids hiding spot for a game of hide and seek. Hilarious!

Thursday, March 13, 2014

For science today we talked about molecules reacting to certain chemicals and we made bouncy balls. Grace got creative and made a multi colored one.

Talk about stuck to someone like glue.

Another nice day..so the kids and I took a walk down the street to a nearby park. Then the ice cream man came by and we splurged on some ice cream.

Finally got some good weather; so decided to meet Dad at the park during his break.

This seems to be a new position for Austin. He and Grace both hate getting their picture taken.

Grace had a piano competition today at Wright State University. I was more nervous than she was. She received a Unanimous Superior rating. Which means she received a superior rating from both judges. I am so proud of her!

Watching a little tv at Grandpa's place after a night full of talent at our Homeschool Co-op's Annual Talent Show. Mason's karate class showed off some of their skill, and Grace performed one of her own piano compositions

How do we settle disputes? With a little game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Saturday, February 22, 2014

 

Finally, had some good weather today...so I went outside and finished the boys headboard for their room. I think it fits in well with the Star Wars theme. I actually put on push lights that light up, glass marbles for pretend buttons, compass for pretend read outs and checkers that I nailed in so they can actually turn like knobs. They loved it! Brownie Points for Mom!

Everything is so wet from the snow melting...that even the neighborhood cats had a hard time finding somewhere to relax...well at least these 3 found a spot on our swing set.

Now that the snow is melting....here come the floods!

I don't know what is going on, but all this cold weather has made me stir crazy. A printer, modge podge and a love of star wars....and a dresser is born.

Thursday February 6, 2014

Just got my new Euro Top Mattress...it came vacuum sealed. You should have seen Grace and I trying to put it on the bed before it fully expanded...wish I could have taken a picture of that.

We love Chinese food around here...so I tried this healthier version of Crab Rangoon. Mix 4oz of cream cheese, 1 chopped green onion, 2oz chopped imitation crab, little salt and pepper. Put tsp size into won ton wrapper. Pinch and bake for 8-10 minutes in 400 degree oven. These were delicious.
