Some pictures–Please enjoy!

 

Doc loves to be outside with the children; I think on this day they were sledding down the hill, until they broke disc they were sliding on.

 

The three oldest girls participated in a Clay for Kids activity; I didn’t get a picture of Marrissa’s, not sure why.  The girls had so much fun with all the other homeschoolers that participated that day.  The first day we made the creations, then about 4 weeks later we met again to paint them and have lunch together.  I had such a great time visiting with some of the other moms.

 

 

These are my men.  Aren’t they adorable?!?!  I had fun taking the pictures.  It’s not very often that the three of them sit together like this.  Matty wasn’t into sitting still for the picture as you can see.  The other two just wanted to make faces at me.  I can’t wait to get the three of them in their fire dept. shirts and get picture; it will be so sweet.

 

 

On the weekend of April 9th and 10th, Jason and I worked together and created this space for me and the kids in the room across from the dining room.  The “brown shelf” is now my homeschool shelf (prior to this is held my coffee, toaster, etc.).  The lighter shelf next to it is a combination of things.  It is here that I have my control journal, the Green Works to spray the table. Behind the glass doors is the snack cupboard.  The door is the cereal cupboard.  The bottom two shelves will hold things that are too big to put anywhere else – things like cases of pop, juice, paper towel, disposable plates and cups. 

Now the other shelf (second picture) is made of two corner cabinets, like what would be in a kitchen; Jason put them together and put a nice piece of plywood on top.  I love it because it’s fresh and new and clean and more kitchen like; I can pretend my kitchen is coming sooner.  lol.  The coffeepot and toaster are perfect on top, better than on that other shelf.  This will be easier to clean and easier to operate.

 

 

On April 11th, Grandma Irene came for a visit.  She always gets our butts in gear.  On this day, she directed traffic and folded laundry.  We got the main living room and dining room in great shape and swept up the floor.  I just need to get the children to put away their clothes.

After a short visit, she asked if the oldest three could come for a visit at her house.  She brought them home in time for choir class.  Irene is getting older and often has pain in her legs.  I want to make the most of each day that she is able to spend with us and our community.  I am making a point of saying yes, when she phones for a visit (whether at my home or hers); I am making  a point of letting the children visit with her.  And I took an opportunity today to snag a picture or two; my children will love these pictures.  The third one, Irene wanted to get.

I don’t think I’m old enough to be mom to that large group of children, but here I am, mom to 6!

 

I hope you enjoyed my little “slideshow”; I know a number of my readers have been asking for pictures and day to day happenings.

 

I aim to please.
