Buried Treasure

Last Saturday the Cub Scouts had a cake decorating contest and it was to be done with Nick and Jeremy only. Of course Jeremy has to go overboard. He looked online and got the directions for he cake and he decided that the cake was not big enough so. This cake they put together is 2 1/2cakes, 3 containers of frosting and a whole bunch of candy. I'm soo glad that we didn't take it home

Nick got judges choice and JEREMY was so proud. Sometimes I think its all about him.

They did have fun putting the cake together. And just for your information don't ever buy soured prunes. Jeremy thought that they would be a great touch for some rocks.

Busy..

I've been busy the last couple of days and I haven't had the chance to get on a whole lot. Who knew how much work it would be to homeschool. But I have decided that I'm not going to continue with Timmy. He is just not ready for the work or it might be the other way around. But I have enough to do with the other two.

Dog Loose

Today chipper got loose, for anyone who doesn't know who chipper he is our dog. Kaylee had a friend over today and they wanted to go out back without Zander going out with them. So they locked the back door and went out the front door through the gate to the back yard. But someone forgot to tell me the gate was not shut and I didn't look for him before we went to the pool and he ran free the whole time we were at the pool. I'm glad we have friends that like us enough to pick up our dog.

*I had a gut feeling that I should look for where the dog was at before we left for the pool but I just shrugged it off. I'll know better next time.

Trouble Ahead!

Tonight after dinner my children were thinking it was really funny to burp and fart and make a big deal about it. And I got really tired of it so I had to send the kiddos to time out away from each other. So Nick and Kaylee went to their rooms and Timmy had to stick his nose in the corner (so he wouldn't mess around). But the whole time he was there Zander was there for moral support.

Soccer Starts

So it's the first week of soccer practice, and can you believe we only have to go to the park twice a week. I could not believe we got all of our (three teams) practices on the same day. It was a blessing sent from HEAVEN!!

Dog Catcher's

We were driving home today from a friends house and we drove past some people looking for there lost dog. So Jeremy told them that we would watch for him while we were driving home. And of course the kids helped us look the whole way. They were getting a little discouraged and Kaylee said, "maybe the dog catcher caught him." Then Timmy said "Dog Catcher's don't catch dogs they catch FISH."

He sure is becoming the intelligent one.

Nick's Vacuuming

I sent Nick into clean his room, and he proceeded to tell me that he was done. So I told him he needed to vacuum his room too. And when he went into vacuum he vacuumed up this little toy..

And he burnt up the belt in my vacuum. Don't ask me how he didn't see the toy. It's not that small. So I ask myself do I let my children vacuum if I can't trust them not to vacuum up their toys.. Can I tell you that burnt rubber smells really bad, and our vacuum still smells of it. Hopefully the smell will go away soon.

Zander Had a tough day and he couldn't make it through lunch.

I think he woke up with a crink in his neck and not very rested.
