My son gets good mail too!

My son has a neighborhood friend that he likes to draw pictures for. He likes to deliver the "letters" to his friends door, or put them in the mailbox. His friend will usually return the favor. Well, today his cute little friend delivered an envelope. I handed it to my son who was in the kitchen and went to the living room. I suddenly heard him yell "WOW" and laughing with joy. We ran to see what was so exciting, there he sat with his "good mail"...a tooth brush and a broken crayon. he was soooo happy! It was so cute. We love good mail!

Good Mail!

I received Good mail while I was away! I want to thank those of you who sent it!

I received a wonderful package from Sodak Angel. I loved the origami, I made the whale right away! My kitty and kids went straight for the feathers.... I was able to save a few. Love the address labels (its nice to have some with my name instead of DH). the notebook was great ( I love having a little notebook all of the time). I could go on and on...it was a great package..... a very good way to get to know you.

Chellie sent a very cute M&M card with a package of M&M's! How did you know that I LOVE chocolate. Too good to share with anyone.....sorry kids.

The Smiling Infidel sent an adorable card with a magnet....... She inducted me into the very exclusive and elite magnet society. I feel so lucky! My fridge does too. I absolutely love it!

Thanks to all of you!

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow it is so hard to come back....... We had so much fun on vacation! We had the chance to visit great family members and great places! We went to museums, fun parks, restaurant's, malls and parties! Great fun! I just need to get back into "the swing of things". Boy, is that hard to do.

VACATION 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, we are heading out to Colorado in a couple of days. We are so excited!

I have lots to do! I won't be blogging for a couple of weeks! I will be out having fun, and taking lots of pictures!

See ya all soon!

Mamma's been busy!

Wow what a day!
First, I woke VERY early to drop my son off with his Scout leaders, so that they could head up to a week long camp. Boy was he ever excited. I could barely keep him contained. HE was excited, and I was so nervous. Its hard to be away from you child for that long. I hope that he has a blast.

Next, I made gluten free chocolate chip cookies. There was no reason for me to make them, I was just curious as to how they might taste.... they weren't bad!
After that I took my very first zucchini of the season and turned in to 2 loaves of Zucchini bread. Mmmmmmm Mmmmmmm. I must admit I believe that was the MOST beautiful Zucchini I had ever laid my eyes. I hope that it tastes as good as it looks!

Also, I received a happy post card from Sodak Angel today (thanks! I am glad that you like the Kool Aid), and I want to thank Jean Knee again for the yummy M&M's last week! You Both Rock!

Help!!!!!!!!

OK this maybe an odd request from someone with 5 kids. You would think that I might be well seasoned and experienced in child rearing. But alas, I am stumped. I have a 2 year old boy with sensory processing disorder. He is a sensory seeker, and he loves to have things done a certain (same) way all of the time. Sameness make him feel safe and secure. He likes to play with his toys in a certain same way too. His brothers are much older than him and pretty much stay out of his way and let him go on with all of his "oddities". However, now my 10 month old baby girl is getting to the point of wanting to interact and play with him. She is very curious about him and wants to be doing everything that he is doing. He does not interact very well with other kids, and does not like to be disturbed when he is in the middle of something. Now that "Princess" wants to play with him, he is extremely bothered. So there is constant fighting, crying and screaming. :( I knew that they would fight, but I never imagined it at these young ages. Neither of them seem to understand and they both cry, cry, cry. I try to tell my 2 year old to touch soft and and share and take turns....... but he really doesn't seem to understand me, nor does my baby......... Any advice would be sooooo appreciated.

Garden Picture Day!

It's that day of the week! Look at how much my garden has grown! We have had a few tomatoes and a few sugar peas! We are waiting on a tiny zucchini to get a little bigger. We sure do love our little garden!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope that you get to see lots of fireworks!

Yep! Thats my hubby!

Mom, are we there yet?

Well, in about a week and a half, my family will be going on vacation! We are traveling by car and it should take us about 10 hours. We are so excited! We will be staying at the "Princess Palace" With "Queen K".

Don't worry, my boys don't mind going to the princess palace, In fact they love it there! As do I!

So, I am trying to prepare for this trip....Finding someone to take care of our house and pets, getting snacks for the ride, etc..... I have 5 kids ranging in ages between 10 months and 12 years. The trip is always fun at the beginning, but once boredom sets in the trip usually turns into a big fight (kids against Parents). Any suggestions on how to entertain the wee ones during or trip would be sooooo appreciated.

I am very proud to announce that I was able to put a little itty bitty pony tail in my baby girls hair, for the first time today. Hurray!!!!! Party Party!!!!!!!!!!

I would also like to take a moment to thank Jean Knee for the delicious Good Mail yesterday. I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

Cheesy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night Grease was playing on T.V. and though I have seen that movie a million times, I was quite captivated and watched the movie again. I have to admit that I am am a sucker for cheesy romantic moments in movies.

I also need to admit that I love the end of the movie when Sandy goes "bad" and they are dancing around at the fair! Woohoo!Yeah!

I love the part in "Say Anything" when John Cusack is holding the boom box over his head and playing "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.

Or, in "Never Been Kissed" when Poor Drew Barrymore is standing in the baseball field and she thinks that her love (Michael Vartan) isn't coming to kiss her..... she frowns and drops the microphone, and then out of nowhere her love comes running down the bleachers to her arms and they kiss For EVER!!!!!!!!!!

OK.....enough of my favorites!What some of your favorite cheesy moments?
