Happy Easter!

Hope everyone has a good Easter!

The baskets for my children.

I know, they don't look normal. They are missing that Easter grass. 

Well we don't like it therefore don't use it. It's not about the grass anyway. 

Lazy Days

Some days are just meant to be lazy. Here is what it looks like at our home.

Yard Work

We did some yard work. We take our time and do just a little at a time. This way it will take time to get the outcome we want but that is okay. We aren't going anywhere. Plus we prefer the little here and little there so we can still enjoy life going places and doing things. So here is what we did.

I got some mother-in-law tongues from my....well, mother-in-law (haha). I like them and they grow very well. So while over there they said I could take some. Now to figure out where to put them in our yard. We decided on the tree out back.

This cost us only our time. We had the blocks and soil sitting around waiting to be used.

And the plants came form family.

So you can't beat that for a nice plant garden added to the yard.

We also hung a bird house my grandpa made. It is in another tree in the back yard. It also over looks the lake for a nice touch for what ever bird makes it home.

My boys!

My boys brought home certificates on the same day. They do such a good job at their work. I'm proud of you guys!!

Attendance, effort and reading goal awards.

No injuries over 10 years.

Way to go!! Keep up the good work you two.

Happy Late St. Patty's Day

I know this is late but hey......it's called life (smile). Now I have some time so here it is.

We had green pancakes with blueberries and Logan put green food coloring in water.

Hot Coffee

13 Wonderful Years!

Yesterday was our anniversary. We went to a place called 'The Melting Pot' for dinner. Everything is fondue style eating, except the salad of course.

 This was the cheese fondue. It came with veggies, apples and bread.

 The salads are good.

 Then the main course. We had a seafood platter. The main course comes with potatoes, broccoli and mushrooms. Everything is cooked in the fondue, seasoned broth and then there are six different dipping sauces. This style of cooking I find very yummy!

 Last is the dessert. A chocolate fondue with all kinds of goodies for dipping. The problem with the picture is I remembered to take a picture after we had already eaten all the dessert!

Our table came with balloons and they take your picture for you to take home.

So here is to 13 wonderful years and for many more to come!!!

Wonderful find!

I believe in visualizing on what I want in life. So I have been visualizing living room furniture I want: a couch and love seat, soft leather for easy cleaning with the animals and to also match the rest of our furniture. Then I went to a thrift store to drop off some items and this is what I saw.

So I called up Hubby and he came out with the truck and we bought the set. Boy does it look nice in our living room. I think it will look even better after we paint the living room. I will do update pictures of the furniture in our living room after I paint.

Awe.....

He has been so excited about the gift card, so we are going there Saturday.

Making Biscuits

The other day my boys made some biscuits. They were pretty good!

They decided to roll and cut out biscuits instead of taking the easy way of making drop biscuits.

Almost done.

Ready to go in the oven. Not bad guys!

Done!
