January Fun

After a rough December, we needed to have some fun in January. Here is a little bit of what we've been up to!

Molly's Newest Skill

Well, I finally did it! I managed to get a video posted to my blog! It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and thanks to Tim's help, I got the software loaded and here we are! I hope you enjoy this little clip of Molly performing her newest trick! I know I say it all the time, but I couldn't be prouder of her than I am right now!

Food Blog

Hey everyone! I'm adding a new blog to my favorites. A friend of mine, who is this amazingly organized person, keeps a food blog with really yummy recipes. And for those of you who know me, you know how much I love cooking and eating good food! Well, I don't know about cooking GOOD food, but I sure love eating it! Anyway, her name is Amy and she does a fabulous job of sharing her recipes and tips :-) Take a look if you have time.

Fingerpainting Fun

This past week Andrew and Hailey's speech therapist brought some homemade finger paint for the kids to play with. They had a good time and we worked on the concept "Yuck." It's all about encouraging communication with words or signs rather than whining :-) And since Molly and Megan are not ones to be left behind, they all got in on the fun, including Megan's friend Brooke.

Megan and Brooke, creating beautiful pictures.
Molly, intent on getting it just right.

Yummy! This tastes delicious!Andrew's colorful creation!

Everyone having a good time!

It was a great time for all the kids, and since the paint is made with cornstarch, sugar, water, and salt, it was even caloric for Molly! Hey, every bit counts :-)

Just for Fun

Our newly adopted, distant relative of Richard Simmons. She came dressed and ready to go!

Hmm, whose hiding under that hat?

Finally, someone who wants to walk in my shoes for a while :-)


Hope I at least got a smile out of ya :-)

Had to do it...

This past weekend I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to take the kids outside. Even if it was only for 10 minutes and it took twice as long to get them ready, we all needed the fresh air! So, here they are, all bundled up for the cold, drizzly outside :-)

Hmm, doesn't Megan look warm?? typical...

Little Molly all ready to go! Hailey, sportin' her new jacket and hat.
Andrew, cool as a cat!

Hey Andrew, you lost somethin'!

Givin' Molly a ride in the wagon.

Hmm, you think she's havn' fun?
It was a bit cold and a little drizzly, but it was worth the brief time outside. Molly started eating the rocks so it I figured it was time to go in for lunch. She's too happy about it, and I think they would played out there all afternoon! I promised we'd go out again soon.! Come on sunshine, make an appearance :-)

Food for Thought

I was wondering the other day how Saturday and Sunday came to be known as "the weekend." It seems to me that based on how our calendar is set up, Friday and Saturday would be "the weekend," since the week runs from Sunday to Saturday. But then I thought about the fact that everything has two ends, a front end and a tail end, thus Sunday would be the front end of the weekend, and Saturday would be the tail end. But, if that were true, than it should really be called "the weekends." My thoughts continued and I realized that if it's true that God created the 7th day to be the day of rest, commonly recognized on Sunday, than our week should really run from Monday to Sunday!

As if I have nothing else to spend my thoughts on :-)
