I've been tagged...By Heather from
http://gottfredsenacademy.blogspot.com/Heather is homeschooling two beautiful boys. Check out her blog.
The rules are simple…Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1) The only thing I've ever wanted to be was a mom. It took us 12 years to make that dream come true.
2) I love photography, but hate having photos taken of myself. Yet I still would like to be in some photos for my children to have when I'm gone.
3) I have an awful memory. I only remember a few things from my childhood. I can forget a name of a person within minutes of meeting them.
4) I used to love horror movies the gorier and scarier the better. Since becoming a mom I can't even stomach the news.
5) The thing I idolize most is my mothers strength. She is an amazing woman! She would deny it, saying she does what she has to. I think anyone else would have caved under the same situations.
6) I'm a lefty
7) I am interested in religions. The different types of religions, the differences in the religions and why people believe in what they do.
8) I am afraid of people who drink. I don't know why, but I admit to having mild panic attacks on occasion when I see someone drinking.
Now I have to go tag some friends.
Aunt Kathy gave us planting kits a little while ago. I had forgotten about them and found them in the closet. Here are some pictures of the kids starting the seeds. Cole got very upset when we had to put them in the frig. She wanted to play in the dirt. If they grow - and that's a big if - maybe we will take them to Turkey Swamp Park to plant. 
I've been saving tissue paper. Wrinkled, ripped is doesn't matter. I just love the colors. I just knew I would find a craft for them. I let the little ones rip up some of the paper. This made a big mess, but they loved it. I also made some magnets to go with two of his books. They had such a blast. I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor with the book. As I called an animal I told them to take the animal from the dishwasher to the frig. They had so much fun running back and forth. Thank heavens the books are short because I think I read them at least five times each.
For a craft I'm planning on gluing the colored tissue to make ?? Whatever they want to make. Mommy is going to try to make an animal. I'll post picture after we attempt this.
Once again, I'm stuck to the computer instead of going out and enjoying this beautiful day we are having. I know! I know! I am going just as soon as I post this. 
Yeah, so not like the picture at the top. 
I let them ice two cupcakes for themselves. Then I did the rest. 
Yesterday we had fun exploring at Turkey Swamp Park. We found a baby turtle and the little frogs were every where. I'm sure I stepped on a few with my monstrous size 12s before I noticed them. Nicole is so much like me. She loves all kinds of creatures. Michael let me put a frog in his hand, once it jumped out he wouldn't touch anything else. He was happy to look but he didn't want to touch.
She definitely has her own sense of style. She loves to wear her cowboy boots or her converse high top sneakers with her dresses. 
The Babies had a great play date with Grandma yesterday. Lovely day to play in the park. Liberty Oak is now my favorite playground for them. Once again there was no one else there. Well, except for the guy tanning himself.
