Explosion

The other day Maycee asked if I would make them some playdough so they could make a volcano. We whipped up some green and red and they cut up some plastic cups and here is what they ended up with. I never even knew if you mixed baking soda and vinigar this would happen. This is the real reason I send my kids to school, so they can come home and educate me. They are brilliant!!

1...2...3...SIT!

These guys (Crew, Gage and the boys)have become inseperable this summer and they all had almost the same shorts on, except one, and like boys are they never want to wear a shirt! I thought they looked cute so I made them let me take their picture. They play almost all day, every day and they don't fight. It is dreamy!

Sidewalk Art!

The other day I came home from physical therapy to find this lovely art...I had to back the car up and read this one. In case it isn't clear enough it says "I love Pam, she's hot". That one was from Jeff.


Here is one of Lincoln's... very cute!


Carson made a Poky family, the big orange on is the dad and that little guy is his son.


And Maycee is of course true to her bees with a school spitited "GO BEES" on the front steps. It was very cute to come home to all this!! I love it.

Back to school time.

We went to get all the kids their school supplies the other day, and a few school clothes. Maycee laid it all in an organized fashion on the floor and gave me the school supply lists to hold. I had to call out the items ,if I called out something from their list they had to act excited and run up and get it and put it in their backpack...like a game show. After all the supplies were claimed they put on a fashion show for me. It was definately a fun way to get ready for school!!

Lets go fishing

Last Monday Jeffs work people all went to Lagoon. He was invited of course but due to my old lady knee it was not possible for us to take such a trip. Instead we took the day to go fishing. It was very pretty where we were although I can't remember what the place was called!!


However very unsuccessful! Not even one bite for anyone, except from mosqitoes...lots of those!


Carson was the only one that wore pants, he rolled them up so he could wade in the water without getting wet... him and Lincoln were drenched with in minutes!!


And Mack can swim. He went out in the water just a little too far and quickly had to swim back to shore. He is so chubby I thought he would just sink to the bottom. Even though it was not a "fish" productive trip it was still lots of fun to get a little bit out of town for the day.

Excuse me but what is that on your leg??

Last week at physical therapy I was very frustrated because my knee was SO swollen still. Heather(my pt) told me about this tape they sometimes use to help un-swell it. I had in my mind a picture of white tape wrapped around my entire leg. Instead I got this squid tape. It lifts the skin and directs the swelling to more healthy tissue. I think it worked pretty good, my knee is almost back to the size it should be. Hooray!!

Lets cook

The other day there were many kid-o's at the house and they wanted to eat chocolate muffins. Well I didn't have any so they went to Noah's house and got a mix, brought it back and Maycee, Brianna and Noah whipped them up for all to eat. Thank heavens they all got their chocolate fix!!
