Hotdog Social




We had a some fun at the hot dog social! We had hot dogs, who would of guessed. Along with Chili, cheese, Watergate, pasta salad and potato salad. We had cupcakes and ice cream cones for dessert. The older ones played basketball outside and the younger ones in doors with me. We finger painted and made collage's of the new system with glitter glue and other decorations. There were about 25 kids that came and are homeschooled, we will be doing it again next month thats for sure and the theme is Nacho's...cant wait and I will throw it on the weekend so everyone can attend! Will post the next event...

My laptop has been down, but were now up and running.


Wow, it seems like FOREVER! So much has happened since I last wrote. My parents came down to visit in November my sister has been down twice. Ethan has started rolling over, sitting up, eating baby food, drinking from a cup (I have to hold it for him) and has 6 teeth. He is totally on the bottle as of 7 months, he wouldn't stop biting and I couldn't take it anymore. I'm happy with the time I did breastfeed. He's sleeping through the night and is in his crib (it's in our room, but he's in his bed) Donovan was one of my best babies with getting into his own bed. He not only slept in his own bed but his own room and went to bed every night at 8. It was like I was living in a movie or something, just so unreal. Homeschooling is going good kids are not as motivated as I would like but hey, neither am I. We get it done some days only because we have to. On those kinda days we take it easy the next and try to regroup and come up with some fun ways to learn and projects that will keep us all into the work. Other than that we haven't been up to much. Found out the truck needs a gear box, I know I can't fix that. Thinking of installing laminate in the kids playroom, has anyone done it themselves and can give me some tips? It looks kinda easy but I know the kids will be in my way, so will have to get a project for them to keep busy. We are starting a garden this year any suggestions on what to plant? My freezer day is still coming just don't know when.
