Yay! It's Friday!

This week has flown by. We have been busy, and I am tired. This sweet blanket is for a friend's daughter. I love all the girlie colors in it!

Lately Mimi has shown a great interest in making notes for people. She was especially mad at me one day, and I received the following love letter:

Later she drew this one of me. Can you tell what I was doing????

Cleaning the ceiling fan, of course!

The kids love to play a little game called "Seth, the Waiter" with Kevin. Kevin pretends to be their waiter and his name is Seth. He gets them water and snacks. You get the idea. He also likes to charge them for whatever they eat or drink. He gives them receipts, and they pay with fake money.

Mimi got smart though, and has been making coupons for herself. Free "vater" or water....I imagine they both taste the same....;)

Jenga blocks are great for tower building.

Have a great weekend! ~Karen

Is is Spring yet?

Mimi thinks it is summer already. I understand it. I wish it were warmer too.

Lately I have been getting a lot of these:

She loves to make these. I bet I get at least a dozen a day. My mailman seems confused by them, since I let Mimi put them in the mailbox....I try to remember to get them out when she isn't looking, but I don't always get them out.

Mimi has suddenly turned into a great colorer.

Moe let me cut his hair. He said he wants a mohawk. I did my best. He squirms a lot.

Our garden. Nothing is planted yet. We are still having frost advisories, so we are holding off for a couple weeks. I can't wait to take pics of it overflowing with veggies.....YUMMERS! I will be making curried butternut squash all summer long! :)

Have a great week!

Yay! It's Friday!

This week has dragged on...and on. I felt it would never get to Friday. I always seem optimistic and reinvigorated once it's Friday. I enjoy having Kevin home all weekend, and I enjoy sharing some of the workload! (Sorry Kevin!)

It's rather windy here, so we are hoping to fly some kites tomorrow. And maybe we will hit the zoo in the next day or so. I am glad warmer weather is here for awhile...and I hope it stays. I don't enjoy being couped up during the winter. I do get the kids out when it is cold, but for shorter periods. I am excited to see all of flowers poking up out of the ground...Looks like we will have a ton of irises and daylillies!

Mimi has been busy learning to read simple words. She is a self motivated learner. It makes things so much easier for us. Although sometimes she can be hard on herself.

This is for her friend Mary. She thinks I am wrong when I tell her Mary only has one "r" in her name. Oh, well.

I love her "R"...Makes me smile! Her star is pretty rocking too.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the weather and one another.

Mimi's first words....

Yep, it says "poop." Clearly we are teaching her the important words. This is kind of how I feel every Monday morning!

She also is writing:
Have a fun Monday! :)
