Have to catch up....

It is amazing what one day away from home can do to a person. It totally knocked my schedule off track, but I am trying to regain traction today. Gotta get that laundry done first and going to make myself a mocha soon too. So that will help. :D I first wanted to share a few pics from Friday when our wonderful friends Ron and Ginny came for dinner and games. We had some yummy pizza and iced Christmas Eve tea (Yummy!) After dinner I finally got to play Tri-Virsity. It was a lot of fun. I didn't win, but I didn't come in last either. ;-) I guess I wasn't trying for the "glory words." LOL

Poor Ron didn't want his pic taken. :-)

This boy just can't get enough pizza. :-D I love his eyes!

Game Time!

MMMMMM.......chocolate. Thanks Ginny!


The next morning we took it slow. The children and I stayed in our jammies longer than we should have, but then I decided to take the children to the parade in town. But first....I couldn't find Little E. I didn't know where he went. Then I walked into the laundry room and saw my clean clothes laying on the floor. He pulled my laundry out so he could climb in. I don't know what I am going to do with this child! :-)
After I got the goober out of the dryer and dressed. I loaded up the wagon with a chair for me and the younger two children. Big T helped me to pull the wagon. The parades starts real close to the house so we only had to walk about 3 1/2 blocks to watch it. Unfortunately Beloved had to work, but the children and I had a good time. Here is the crew after we arrived at our spot.


Big T spotted the start of the parade......


Here they come! Little E was dancing right along with the band. :-)

They loved the tractors......

.....big trucks......

.....firetrucks.....

....and horses.
Oh...and the library "drill team" is always fun to watch. :-)


Even though it was all fun and we got lots of candy :-) Little E was ready to go home. So ready that he started to pull the wagon with his sister in it!

Great pictures. I see Ginny wore her new outfit to your house!!! It looks like she is either expounding on something or singing one of her wonderful songs on that first picture!! :)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
