Boys will be boys

What I want to know is .... Will he ever out grow out of the need to dump and destroy? Will I survive this?

Painting and Cutting

Craft time fun

The kids made some flowers for Grandma. We are still a little early for Valentines day. I've been trying to get them to work on the cards we have to send out for our preschool Valentine exchange. They are just not interested at this time. Moe will only sit through craft time as long as he is allowed to make a mess.

Popcorn Day

We had made Popcorn flowers and of course that was our snack of the day.

Just call me Betty

One of my goals this year is to master bread making. I'm even trying to make my own sourdough starter. Let me tell you that stuff reeks.
I made these onion beer breads for Dinner at Aunt Kathys the other day. Only one of them made it to the dinner. Oh yeah it was just oh so good!

Todays Lesson

OK kids todays lesson includes why it is very important to get a job with a 401k and a great health plan, make over 100k a year and hire someone else to do this work.

I thought this was a great picture of the kids watching daddy paint the most vile thing in the world- tar.

We had a fun filled day with wheel barrel rides..

digging for treasure..

Cole even laid down in the dirt and make dirt angels.

Oh and we even managed to get some work done.

Changes

Well I guess I can live with the changes I've made to my blog. At least I have something decent now. I put in a image in the background and I couldn't figure how to go back to a solid color. So from there I had to change the header. Well that led to more changes here and there. I hope you guys like it. Hey I even created a favicon and I never knew what a favicon was until yesterday. OK no more changes to the blog just post for a while. I'm heading over to work on my husbands site.

Oh, on the little one. Today Cole said I wuv you mommy for the first time. Ah, it melted my heart. We are still working on trying to figure Moes language out. All day today he was asking for a crunch?? I could for the life of me guess what he wanted and Ed finally figured out he wanted liquorice ??????

Happy Birthday Dad!

I made these great cupcakes last night. So, I thought I would share with you the only way I eat a cupcake. This is where I wish I had another hand.
First you peal off the paper.
then you break the top off, but be very careful not to mess up the icing
then you turn the top upside down and make a sandwich. Yummy!!
Happy Birthday Dad, I'm having this one for you!!!

sometimes I need to leave a good thing alone...

I have three other blogs to do my testing on, and what do I do? I play around with my main blog and can't figure how to get it back the way it was.

Painting the bathroom

Ed being the perfectionist, he gets in close with the flash light to make sure he has sanded down the walls so they are flawless.

Primer is on and the painting begins.The painting is finished and he removes the masking tape and the four letter words start flying.
The masking tape pulled the paint off all around the ceiling. This was four days ago. We have all been so sick here. All except Moe. I think Moes lack of sickness is due to the massive amount of vitamin C drops he scarfed down at Uncle Rays.

the three hour tour

Checking the Map

Yesterday we went out geocaching with the mountain dawg crew. (Aunt Nancy, Uncle Ray, and the boys.) We kept losing the satellite reception and got lost. Daddy and Uncle Ray took off on their own and left us with the kids to fend for ourselves. It took us around three hours to complete this cache. We even had to ask someone how to get out of the park. The kids had a great time. The little ones were troopers they got a little tired and I took turns carrying them on my shoulders. Since it had rained for three days straight the trail was very muddy. They kids loved stomping through the mud.
