Silly Saturday

Test Results

We got our standardized test results in the mail today. I have one brilliant child (except spelling) and two average children (except spelling.) Do you see a pattern here? I never did well in spelling either; I'm of a mind to think that it'll come as they get older so we just do the minimum and move along with life. Actually, I never did well on any of my tests.

Another Lazy Day

Not much happened today. I did some raking outside. We did get the duct under the house fixed though. Praise the Lord!!! No more heating the outdoors...

Another Lazy Day

Not much happened today either. I did run to town and managed to get some errands done. I'll finish them tomorrow evening. The kids played outside most of the day, it seemed, and Mike will have to go back to work in the morning after his five days off. I'm sure he's looking forward to that. :)

A Lazy Day

Not much happened around here today. I even grabbed a nap while the grabbing was good. :) We had photo albums out and were looking through those. Tracy made a cheesecake. I made oatmeal/peanut butter/raisin cookies for breakfast, Jason made a pizza for lunch while I had Tracy at her violin lesson (he didn't stretch the dough enough so it was very thick and somewhat gooey dough,) and I made some soup for supper. We did a bit of cleaning and wore the dog out. I'm trying to teach him to roll over. We've had lots of phone calls today--seven to be exact. Now things are calm and I believe most people are in bed. I'll join shortly.

Stack of Food and Alfalfa Sprout

Here's the stack of food we took to the church building today because we were waiting in town for the library to open. It's best to get some food into the kids or they become whiners and drive me crazy. We brought back five bags of books.

Laura got to wear an alfalfa sprout today, much to my mom's dismay, I'm sure. I think they're kind of cute on little girls. :)

Pantry Areas

I've been labeling all my cans and boxes with a number since last June. I'm pleased to announce that I only have two things older than that--a jar of pickle relish and a can of pumpkin. I'm not sure if that's good or bad though. I'd like to be able to say I have a year's worth of food around, but counting everything, I probably do. I got the idea to post my food areas from Mercedes's blog and her specific post on eating from the freezer. I enjoy her practical money saving tips and the overall cheerfulness of her blog. Below are some more areas I have food stored. Hmm..that's strange...it put them on the top. Oh well. Good night!
