La La La La La La La La La La (smurfs)

We are just puttering along, nothing much to post about. We have somewhat of a busy week ahead of us. Tonight we have care group and we are biking to it. Wednesday we are getting our van fixed, might be spending the evening at my sisters house. Thursday we have nothing. Friday we are going to our baby sitter's school musical. Saturday I have a home school moms brunch, AND it is my hubby's birfday so we will prolly go out for supper, or to take supper to the park (depending on the weather).

I stamped a card for my hubby:

It is a colour challenge, sketch challenge and a trying a new technique challenge from SCS. This is one of my new sets I got for my birthday/income tax return play money. I hope he like this, this is one of my favorite sets, this little truck. In the past I have borrowed my neighbours set to make little truck cards. That's all for now...

Some fun pictures!!

This is Breanna today:

She got some dress up clothes for her birthday

Blowing a kiss to all her adoring fans ;)

These were taken before church on Sunday:

Breanna was going shopping with Sabian our cat!And he didn't like it all that much

Nothing to write about...We've been trucking along with school work, enjoying the weather, finishing up bathroom details, taking kids to gymnastics and trying to plan our summer vacation. We might not go anywhere this year, we might just do some well needed work on the yard. Our back fence needs to be replaced, I would love to build a little deck onto the front of our house, and we need to paint the walls on our whole main floor. I will keep you posted if we do any of those things this summer, or all of them ;)

We are waiting for the arrival of niece of nephew #7 (altogether, both sides) , and grandchild #9 for my parents. My baby sister is due with her second child in less than a month!!! I get to be in there again, as I was the first time. It was an incredible experience (I only had c-sections). Cari did amazing! I can't wait for the phone call!!!

Home Schooling & Pics!!

It has been a really good home schooling week. We've got alot done, and are having fun. We've set rules for our school room and they are following them. We aren't allowed in there till 9 and when it is 9, they are right in there, without me having to tell them. Whoo hoo!! I am still doing my quiet time in the morning, and was pleasently pleased this morning when I had over an hour (yesterday was only about 30 minutes and the day before even shorter, about 20 minutes). This is our school room---->

I want to share some pictures with you from the last few days, just cute kid pictures...........

Have a great weekend, and all those living near us, enjoy the fabulous weather forecasted for this weekend!!!

I can't seem to get the link to post as a link to the picture, so I am just going to post her blog address here instead: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/LeslieNelsen/
She is having open heart surgery on Monday, April 16th. Pray for the family! The link works on the side and I will keep that there until she is fully recovered from her surgery!!
