Staying at home is boring



Yesterday I took the kids (mine and 3 friends of ours the Dezorts) to the free movies to distract the kids for a few hours (tried to keep the packing chaos down from the playing chaos). We got home from the movies fed them lunch and then I hear little whimpers of boredom I was busy packing, ironing and laundry. I sent them outback to stretch there legs. As I was busily about I noticed a fire engine pull up to a neighboring home (puddle quacks? daycare) I became that nosey neighbor and proceeded to STARE at the commotion. O.K. so there wasn't really any commotion my neighbors had asked the fire department to come over and give the kids a demonstration and answer questions. As they were pulling out the water hose I had all the kids in the front Yard STARING at these poor folks. They were gracious enough to invite us over and talk with us as well. The kids had a grand time listening to the Fire Fighters I must say I too had a lot of fun looki... I mean listening as well. They showed alot of there compartments and what they need to fight fires. They also asked them what they need to do when there's a fire. The funny thing was that Before they drove up I was ironing clothes and while we were out participating in the festivities I forgot all about the iron. luckily if anything was to happen they would have been right there.

And for staying home being boring it all depends on who stops,drops and rolls on by.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann

Let it Snow!

Here are some pictures of our neighborhood. The kids have had a blast in the snow. Some of the kids comments ... Callie.."It's a miracle" Andrew.."I want to go play in it" (this being about 11p.m.) Brandon .. "I need water to build a snowman"(?) Kids..."It's cold outside" Being so cold outside it is great weather for soup! I used my soup making skills (lol) and tried my hand at French Onion Soup! It turned out very tasty! Next time we will brown the onions more and hopefully we will have the right types of cheese. But no complaints from the kids (surprising) I will definitely make this again. For recipe click here .
