Day 337 - Thursday, December 3, 2009


We made the most disgusting muffins today - from a "Girl Gourmet" kit. I don't know if they were just expired (I couldn't tell) or they were just gross but either way the kids still liked them. Go figure! Yechhhh!!!

Day 336 - Wednesday, December 2, 2009


I was inspired at the One of a Kind Show to add a new decoration. Simply sticks of dogwood and willow with mini Christmas balls on the ends. I really liked the result!

Day 334 - Monday, November 30, 2009


Drew's stitches on his belly - healing nicely but still grossing everyone out. He had to have another few moles removed and will continue to do so.

Day 333 - Sunday, November 29th, 2009


Lots of cards and some great purchases from the One of A Kind show. A few new necklaces, some apple cinnamon maple syrup (YUMMMM), and even a few gifts this time! I really like the Sunday afternoon time frame better then an evening. Oh and the company was great too (Thanks Kristy!)

Day 332 - Saturday, November 28, 2009

Matt and I spent the whole day at church where we reached out to the community and offered a free day of childcare so that parents could do Christmas shopping, errands, "whatever". The kids sang songs, learned about the real meaning of Christmas from "Billy Bob", played games, had snack and enjoyed an afternoon carnival. I had to leave before it was finished but I would certainly call the day a success.

Day 327 - Monday, November 23, 2009


All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Matt lost his 11th tooth today at school (no - not all "fell" out - some were pulled).

From painting to the wall; the railing is put up with a little "help".
