Now You See It....Now You Don't!

 At 3:00 this afternoon, I made 2 large pizzas for supper.  I tried a wholegrain crust and loaded them with pizza sauce, ham, pepperoni and salami.  Just before grating the mozzarella cheese, one of the kids called for me and I went running to the office.












When I got back a few minutes later, the pizzas were gone.  All I found was a bit of pizza sauce smeared on the floor and a husky dog licking his chops.  He got a loud holler and a huge boot.


















We're still not on speaking terms.

Courtney is happily planted in front of her best friend.

On a trip to the Devonian Botanical Garden, these 2 got tired and decided to rest up a bit.

It was 8:00 pm (bedtime) and these boys wanted to go swimming.  I told them to give me 3 reasons why I should let them swim.  Well...they scratched their heads...

But they DID come up with 3 reasons and I let them go swimming...in fact, I even joined them!

I don't like dressing my kids in the same clothes but for the first time I bought matching outfits.  The girls were ecstatic to receive matching dresses.

It's August and that means PLENTY of gardening!  The girls are a wonderful help and we have the best conversations while picking beans.

Eric got a pellet gun for his birthday from his grandpa.  I tell you, his grandpa knows EXACTLY what an 11 year old likes!

Courtney got kitties again. That is one happy 3 year old. One morning I couldn't find her.  She wasn't in her bed, she wasn't planted in front of the T.V.  Nope, she crossed the driveway (when there were big trucks driving back and forth since we were catching chickens) and went to go see her kittens.

And with that, I think I'm sort of caught up.  I really need to post some of the interesting conversations I'm having with the kids lately.
