Playing with Charlie

Meet Charlie

Today the kids (and myself) got an early Christmas present!  Meet Charlie, she is an 8 week black and silver miniature schnauzer.  She has a great temperament.  She loves to play and loves to snuggle.  I am not sure who is more excited, the kids or myself!

Eat your Vegetables!

We will try anything to get the kids to eat their vegetables, even let them play with them.

Even Steve got in on the fun!!!

Of course, Hannah had to put the parmesan cheese on her spaghetti all by herself and ended up with way too much!

Church Christmas Dinner

Last Friday night, our church had a Christmas dinner.  It was a nice evening full of food and friends.  They had put together a beautiful program of Christ birth, I only wish I would have gotten pictures of the Nativity.  I was so beautiful!

Meghan was trying to eat the butter. Silly girl!

The dinner was a pot lock and I had signed up to bring soup... While making my soup I dropped my huge 4cup Pyrex measuring cup on the counter and this happened...

Glass was EVERYWHERE!  All over the counter, floor, and myself.  It took forever to clean up!

She can do it herself!

So, this year I decided that it was time for the big kids to start making their own lunches for school.  What I forgot is that Hannah thinks she is a big kid too. So, when snack time rolled around she wanted a nutella sandwich.  She got down the bread, the nutella, and brought out the step stool.  I tired to help but was told, "I can do it myself!"  And so she did!  She even used the heal of the bread.  If I would have tried to give that to her she would have freaked, but since she did it herself I guess it was okay.  She was very proud of herself, it was too cute!

Comments

Hi Family, I just wanted to let you guys know that I changed the settings for comments.  It should no longer require that you have a blogger account to comment.  At the bottom of a post you should see either a link or an area to post... I am still learning myself, so if this does not work let me know.

Hall/Toy closet

I am so embarrassed that I have let our hall/toy closet get so messy!  The kids hardly ever play with any other these toys anymore (probably because they cant find anything).  It has just become a major dumping ground and it is driving me crazy!  So, with Christmas approaching, I have decided that it is time to reorganize it! Here are the before pictures... (please don't laugh too hard, I know it is bad!)

Hopefully I will have it done by next week and I can post some after pictures.  Wish me luck!

Date night and Sugar Twist

So for date night tonight we went Christmas shopping.  I am happy to report that we are all done! Yeah!  Now comes the gift wrapping, my least favorite part.  Maybe if I start now I will only have to do a little at a time.  

After all our hard work shopping we decided to try out a new place.  It is called Sugar twist! I got a chocolate bar doughnut with peanut butter cups, white chocolate sauce and peanut butter sauce, YUMMY!!!  Steve got a glazed twist with chocolate sauce, Oreos, and peanut butter sauce.  Wow, it was so good!  But this is no place for lightweights.  Everyone who knows me, knows I LOVE MY SUGAR and this is some serious sugar! So, I think next time we might split one... Well, maybe not...

Crazy Hannah

 Yep, Hannah can be a little sneaky!  She pushed one of the bar stools across the kitchen and into the pantry to get herself a snack.  She always keeps me on my toes!
