Holiday World!!

We went to Holiday World this weekend! We met up with some friends. It was so much fun! And it was great how nice everyone was. It is a clean safe place for family fun. The staff was helpful and kind. Now is the time to buy season passes too!!!! I have a feeling we will be there all next season. It was great fun.

Some time after taking this shot he decided it was time to get out, and the staff person had to help him. He almost jumped into the water!!!

This last ride was the kids' favorite. When I was a kid it was known as the octopus ride. Now it has another name, but to me it will always be known as the octopus ride!!! I rode this ride with my brothers and my dad 30 yrs ago!!!!! Now my kids and their dad are making those memories!

Have a fun week!

Randomness

Here is your daily dose of deliciousness:

He is so cute!

Moe can't resist playing/bugging him even if he is asleep. I am guilty of this too!

I keep seeing this throughout the house, and each time it startles me because I think it is a pregnancy test! It is a 4 GB memory stick! It does look like a preg. test though, doesn't it?

The momma cat and her 4 kittens continue to be priority in our house. We are now feeding the momma. She seems to have more milk in, and the babies are growing. The kittens still haven't opened their eyes.

Kevin is particularly fond of the gray cat. I like the momma. She is sweet.

And yes, I am back to my hooking ways. hehehe :) I finished the kitchen rug and one for my mom. These are incredibly easy to make, and way up there on the useful scale! :)

Have a great weekend!

Oh, and uh, quit flooding me with emails and calls about wanting the cats. ahem ahem...hint hint...okay, here is where I beg...
PLEASE! Call or email today. You know you want one....If you call now, you will get 2 cats for the price of one.....and I will throw in an extra cat if you call in the next ten minutes....

Yay! It's Friday!

Mimi's feet! I love their feet!

Moe making music. We promise we don't abuse your instruments, Daddy! ;)

Mimi climbed her first tree this morning! She told me to quit taking pictures, and to be quiet! She was hoping a bird would land in the tree!

Have a great weekend!

A Felt Board

This project has become more meaningful than I imagined. The kids spend so much time playing with this. Mimi loves to create stories, and then tells us what is going on in her story. Moe likes to do silly things like putting fish in trees. This makes him laugh a lot. I enjoy watching them work on it together.

I have oodles of felt. The board is an old puzzle whose pieces are missing. Simply glue flannel or felt to a board. Then make anything you can imagine out of felt. It was fun to include Mimi and Moe in this process. They had many suggestions. Moe wishes I would make more than one car. Mimi wants more people.

You can illustrate counting and numbers:

I think the possibilities are endless for this thing. I am thinking of ordering the alphabet from here. I think it would be fun to do stories like "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly..." etc.... Also, I suppose you could mount the board onto a wall, but I prefer having it portable.

Go make felt things. It is FUN!

Camping

On the road! Going camping!

Here is a nice shot of the campfire around the cabins.
Kevin's aunt and uncle own a nice large piece of land in KY. They built the cabins themselves, and it is amazing!

Me and the kiddos! Poor kids...looks like I am squeezing the life out of them!

Papaw, Mimi, & Moe

Going for a stroll. I love this shot!

Look what my tomboy found!

Yep, a frog! She held him so gently!
