Blake visited Dr. Gorringe for his dental check up today. He had X-rays for the first time and found out he still has NO cavities!! We are so proud of him!! He was very brave and not scared at all.
The other day, out of the blue, Blake points to his heart and says, "momma...I wish boys had circles instead of hearts." I asked him why? His response was: "hearts are for girls, not boys."
I finally snuck in a photo shoot of Cora tonight. I can't believe it's been a year since I've taken her pics!!! In my defense, she would not even look at the camera much in the last year. She did a great job and I can't wait to edit them!

Field Trip
I joined Blake's class on 4/25/12 for a field trip to Liberty Lanes in Sandusky. It was highly entertaining and the kids had a great time. Blake managed to get two spares and a final score of 89. It surely helped that he gutter blocks were in!!
My Garden
With the help of co-worker Dave Messing, my garden is coming together!!! I think it's a little bigger than what I need at this point, but I'm sure I will grid into it! It's 30'x50! I'm looking forward to planting later this week!!

Unbelievable
This weather has been completely unbelievable! All week it has been in the 60-high 70's!!! For mid March, that is just unheard of! The kids loved it and we took advantage of getting some early yard work done. We also had a nice night out last night with friends for St Patty's day.
Some of Blake's latest quotes...
"momma, I need to eat a lot because I'm a growing man."
"I don't think I should wear these jeans anymore, because they make me fart a lot."
"Mom, can we take a break from getting library books for awhile? Cause I want to read my bible more often"
Cora has been talking a lot, we are able to understand pretty much everything she says. She can even say the entire Lord's Prayer all by herself.
The kids are really at a fun age and we are enjoying them everyday!!

Falling behind...
I received a "gentle" reminder from my mother that I'm falling behind on my blog. Which, I knew. As I told her, we are just very boring people this time of year! We tend to stay home and get inside projects done on these wintery weekends. This is truly the first wintery weekend we've had. We finally have about 5 inches of snow which is the most we've had all year. It has been a very unusal winter compared to most years, especially last year!
The kids have been staying healthy (knock on wood!), which sure helps. Cora has become a real chatterbox, but I guess that is to be expected because she has some fierce competition with her brother! The other day I was in the bathroom getting ready for work. Cora came in and told me that she "turned the winds on". It took me a minute to realize that she turned the ceiling fans on in the living room. :-) Then on the ride home the other day, the roads were super muddy and would pull my van from side to side every now and then. Cora kept on telling me "stop wiggling momma!" Then yesterday as we were driving into Sandusky, Blake pointed out a truck on the side of the street, "Mom...I think that's a Transformer truck!" I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he has been playing with his big transformer truck at home quite a bit lately!
What have we been up to? Well, the girls and I had our annual scrapbooking weekend up at the Arbaugh B&B in Harbor Beach last weekend. We had a great time and the time away from everything is a much needed annual event! Tom had it pretty easy too, as the kids were at Dad's one night and Mom's one night, so I didn't feel too guilty!
I have the Kiwanis Crop fundraising event coming up next weekend. This is the 6th year that I have organized it, and quite honestly I am looking forward to it being over with! LOL! It gets easier each year but would be even more easier if I weren't such a perfectionist! Lyn has been very helpful with organizing it along with me, so that makes it much more manageable.

Disneyland
My conversation with Blake the other day...
Blake: hey momma, I wanna go to Chuck E Cheese for my birthday when I turn 5.
Me: we'll see Blake
Blake: then for my 6th birthday I want to go to Disneyland
Me: i don't think so Blake
Blake: why not?
Me: it's too expensive, Blake
Blake: no its not mom. It's free when it's your birthday
Me: (under my breath) damned commercials!!

Canning & Pressure Cooking
I have also had fun experimenting with some other homemade goodies lately. Over the past few months, I have made homemade laundry soap, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, febreeze spray, wrinkle release spray...I think that's it. I was going to make some handsoap as well, but I'm still pretty stocked up! I'm pretty sure I won't be buying any of the above items for a very long time. The savings is unbelievable and the quality is excellent as well!!
