Memories...

My friend has this on her blog and I thought it would be kinda fun to do...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Guitar Hero

Reece got Guitar Hero for his birthday, guess what we have all been doing a lot of! Reece wanted me to take a picture of his 243 note streak. Michael, I swear, I haven't even played once today!!! Michael is worried that I'm going to get way better than him because I'm home all day, as if I actually have time to play it while he is gone!

I do admit that as soon as the kids get in bed, I practice a few times before he gets home, just so I can be warmed up when he gets home!

Happy Days

Monsoon Season?

We had the craziest rainstorm yesterday. All of a sudden the wind picked up, and enormous rain drops fell from the sky. Reece and Maya begged me to let them play in it. I was hesitant because that just meant more dirty laundry, postponing my errands, and there is always that part of me that remembers the old wives tale about getting a cold if you play in the rain.

Then I remembered the amazing rain storms we would get in Texas, it would rain so much that the gutters couldn't keep up and it would flood our street. Those were such good memories, I couldn't deprive my kids the same opportunity, especially since we rarely see a great rainstorm like this one was. The kids made one lap around the driveway.

Then came running up the stairs.

And yelled, "Aghhhh, I'm getting bruised out there!"

Not only was it raining humongous raindrops, it was also hailing.

In the end they did get to play in the rain for about 17.5 seconds, I get to do extra laundry, and it postponed my errands. Was it worth it? hmmmm...

Mish Mosh Monday

I saw on someone's blog that they put their kids lunch in a muffin tin tray every once in a while, so I decided to give it a try. You should have seen the excitement on their faces! Peas had never been so fun to eat, wild rice has never looked so yummy, and I've never been through a meal with out one of my kids saying, "I don't like.....", until today.

This is the beginning of a Mish Mosh Monday lunch.

Gardening

This mornings harvest included 3 zucchini, 3 crook neck squash, and some basil

I threw around some wild flower seeds this spring, it has been so fun to see what pops up. I'm loving these yellow flowers.

This is the front of my house, I'm in love with my flower bed this year. I can't wait for next year, I have some ideas on how to make it even better.

Now, this is great fun! Not at all a waste of time.
