We're Goin' Camping!!

Yepper, first trip of the year, and we are going for 3 nights. We are heading to Rowan's Ravine. We really like it there, there aren't many trees, but we like the little cafe, the marina is very nice! They keep the park nice and clean, and they also have the Conservation Officers patrolling the place often, which makes you feel good, knowing they aren't going to let anything get out of control! We are hoping to rent a boat this time!! We'll see how that goes! I am definitely not as stressed this time around, with food, food prep and packing! I think I am really going to enjoy our menu too! I like to make things while we are camping, that we'd have here if we were home, like marinated BBQ chicken with potatoes and corn, and then we will use the left over chicken the next evening for chicken fried rice with broccoli!! mmmm I really enjoy cooking, most of the time that is!! I hope to get some relaxing in as well!!

We have 3 camping trips planned for June already too!! I'm excited, the last weekend in June we are going to be going with other homeschoolers to a campground near a Brick plant, and they are having a open house there that weekend!! It should be fun!

Have a good weekend, hope to post some pictures next week!

This and That and a couple pics!

Another week has begun, and another Mothers Day behind us! A friend recently suggested that Mothers Day should be changed to Mothers Week, and I have to agree!! A week out of the year, to celebrate what us moms do, it's really not asking much! Some food for thought anyways! I had a great day, started with breakfast in bed, and gifts and cards, and hugs and chocolate! Then I got to work in the church nursery, and Alexa stayed with me, she's such a great helper! And the rest of the day was relaxing, I tried to have a nap, didn't quite pan out, went and flew out kite for a little bit and watched the season finale of survivor! It was a fun day! I also made a suggestion to my darling husband, that every Sunday should be mothers day!? Some more food for thought! Did I mention I got chocolate,

We've had alot of things going on lately. We got new windows last week, 4 to be exact! Now it will be easier for me to wash them! We had someone here working on the finishing touches to the central air! Someone is coming to work on the electrical panel, and um, ya, the bathroom still isn't quite done. It is usable, the toilet flushes and the girls are brushing their teeth down there, but the tub is still unusable. We are waiting for some parts that supposedly didn't come with the faucet. We've put up a few accessories, but there are still some other things to be done in there, moving the light over so that it is centered to the sink, putting up the shower curtain, painting some spots that needed to be mudded again, the ceiling...it's never ending!!!!!!!

On a fun note, we picked our trailer up out of storage on Friday and set it up! We still love it! We are going camping in fact, not this weekend, but the weekend after, 22nd-25th!! We are all sooo excited!

Here are a few pictures from our weekend at the farm, and the new baby, who is already a month old in these photos! Alexa and Emmalee taking turns holding Jonathan! They were lovely little helpers that evening, passing the gifts to their auntie for her to open!

This is our new toy, a 8x12 ft trampoline! It's super fun! I love to watch the kids jump on it, and especially love to watch them use their imaginations and make up fun games! Also note the large item to the left of the trampoline, it's our other new toy, central air!! It's going to be a nice summer!

Breanna riding her bike with her lovely red Christmas dress on, and her beautiful Robeez slippers! How a princess spends her free time!! My baby is growing up tooo fast!!
