We're Back....

It seems like forever since the fateful day spyware took my computer away. If I had nothing else to do, I might write a poem. Yes, after having to rough it for almost 2 1/2 weeks, we finally scraped together the resources and purchased a new computer. We figured that we could buy a newer computer for the same price , if not cheaper, than having ours fixed and upgraded. So, now all is back to normal (why are you laughing?) Okay, lots of stuff, real quick like.

Here are my pictures from Jack and Chloe's birthday party. Chloe turned 1 and Jack is three.

This is Chloe's Bee Hive Cake.

Jack's John Deere Cake

Jack about to blow it...

Chloe havin' her cake and eatin' it too.

Lillie Anna with the remains of cake...

Tanner just wishing I'd let him eat his cake in peace.My sister made a great point. She has four kids and 1 on the way. I have two nephews and one neice on Jody's side, plus my three. When we have a birthday, it's insta party. We don't have to worry about inviting any children...we couldn't afford to feed anymore. I love big families!!!!

Jackson was under a quite a load of stress. He got so many things with wheels, he about stroked out. Afterwards, he couldn't even play with them because being selfish is exhausting. You could see him keeping mental tabs on all his toys.

The remainder of this post will consist of some photos that have been stuck on my digital camera that are just screaming to get out.

Have you ever seen those classified ads looking for people to stuff envelopes and make millions? Notice the heels...very professional. Important Life Skill: You should always dress for the job you want.

When Chloe eats... it is a total body experience. Whether it's pizza rolls...

Or Oreos...

Torn Paper Collages...

The kids are afraid of thunder, so I tell them, when they're afraid...pray. Jack stayed in humble prayer for half the morning.
Some nifty black and white numbers...

This week's lesson from our Nature Reader was on elephants. Here we are with our foam elephant puppets. Cut a shape like an elephant's head from craft foam. Glue on some google eyes and tusks, cut a hole the size of your finger to put your "trunk" through. If you don't mind getting wet, you could stick a medicine dropper through the hole, let the kiddos load it up and have a water fight.

Chloe ticklin' the ivory.....

Jack thinkin' outside the box.

Have a great day!
