The Boat Float



So one day during the summer, we had some extra kids at our house and they wanted to do something adventerous. I had alot of extra egg crates.(I save them because I get fresh eggs from a friend) So, we decided to make boats out of them and send them down the creek. It proved to be a great way to get the kids outside and doing something fun and creative. They had a blast letting their boats follow the current and following them down the creek. I still need to check Trevor's scout manual to see if there is anything in there that we could use this for.

Beware of the wasp sting!


Poor Reese! The first week of school he got stung by a wasp on his nose. We all agree that the wasp was overly aggressive. It not only stung him, but it chased him into the house and would have gotten in, but Reese shut the door and the wasp hit it. Well, by the next day, his eye was swollen shut. I couldn't send him to school looking like this, so he had to miss. He has no more interest in wasps and keeps a good distance from them now-if only he would leave the spiders and all other crawling creatures alone!

So I really haven't fallen off of the face of the earth...

Sorry I haven't posted in soooo long. Life has been trucking along and I feel that I am struggling just to keep up. Of course, the kids are back in school and I'm back to taxi duty, and Trent is in pre-school and Ryan is out of town 80% of the time, but I think the real issue here is that we are getting ready to have our 5th child and I have lost not only my appetite but my ability to stay up and do the fun things that I love. The only reason I can write tonight is that I went to bed at 8:30, so here I am wide awake at 3:45 in the morning!!! So yes, I am pregnant and everyone couldn't be happier. It was a bit of a shock at first (especially when I have told the entire world that we were done) Obviously Heavenly Father knows more than we do:) We don't know what we are having yet, but I will definitely post when I do. I am about 11 weeks along and hoping that by my 12th I will gain the ability to hold down food and some energy back that I so crave!(along with pickles-that's a first for me) Well, I will stay up and post as long as I can without getting sick.
