Keeping Busy

We are still alive and just like everyone else we have a lot going on. :-) But I wanted to share pictures for all of our family and friends that have been waiting patiently. (I Know...I know...I don't post enough.) First up is a picture of Special K of course! :-) I can't believe she will be 7 weeks old tomorrow!


"Who...me?"


"Yeah...I know I'm beautiful!" ;-)


And this is the time of year to buy things for the children that they don't normally get. One of those things are nuts in the shells. It is pretty interesting to watch. Just as long as you pay attention in case you need to duck. Many nuts went flying across the room. LOL Oh well...this only happens one time a year and they have a lot of fun with it. Plus they learn there are more than just one kind of nut. :-)


Next up is Little E as "Dee-Doe"


Can you guess what is going on in this picture?

Did you guess it?


Yes..I did give the children two bags of kisses to unwrap. I know..I am nuts, but believe it or not they didn't eat any. I ended up giving them two a piece, but since they knew they were for the gluten free peanut blossom cookies they did really good. (Better than I did when my Mother gave me the job.) LOL Plus it was much faster to let Big T, Sweet E, and Little E unwrap them all instead of having to do it myself.



And after all of that, the children got to make suckers too! Aren't the suckers cute? They are super easy. It's just two miniature candy canes placed together in the shape of the heart and heated in the oven until slightly melted.



Just remember to have the oven set at the correct temperature. Just ask me how I know....LOL


And lastly a video of our sweet, Special K. :-) Hope you enjoy. I know that it gets dark at one point. Somebody decided to stand in the way of the overhead light. ;-) LOL

Okay....life happened in a big way with a death in the family. That's the only way I can figure out that I missed the fact that Miss Precious Special K was born! OH MY WORD! Is she BEAUTIFUL or WHAT?! And LOVE her little coos!

And you tell those other darling kiddos that they are adorable, too, and it's a good thing you didn't ask ME to unwrap chocolate! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you ALL!

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...
