Roller Skating

So, we have been roller skating. Yes, even Jessica. You should see that little girl. She is first out and last in from the rink. It is great fun. Isaac and Silas are getting better and better and Chloe is fearless. Thanks to our friend Charissa for letting us know about this fun time.

An Adventure...

So, I am hoping that there are many others out there like me who are trying to apply the routines of the flylady. I started a new blog to gather people who can encourage and share ideas with each other.

Come on over and have a good time!! I look forward to meeting you.

Financial Clutter

So, like the house, the finances are cluttered too. I am beginning to see that clutter has many faces...

We are taking a 13 week financial class from Dave Ramsey's website. The class is held by a church in the area. Basically there is a video lesson and then discussion within the class. It has been very eye opening to the trends in our culture. There are some very good marketers out there who do their job so well that we live in a generation that believes if you don't have a credit card you can't live (or a car payment). You don't have to go back to many generations to see that our great grandparents didn't live like that. They thought debt was a sin. Funny how we become conditioned to think without even realizing that is what is happening. Definetely thought provoking. We are changing some things...let you know how it goes. Anyone else done this class?

Mount Washmore

This is it...my weekly Mount Washmore. And the saddest thing is that after Charlie took those down stairs for me, I looked in the kids hamper only to find it half full again already!! Do these clothes reproduce in there???

I will conquer!! I just don't know when...

Before and After

Before flying through my kitchen...

After a week of flying through my kitchen!

There is still much to do, but now the much to do is more hidden!! YEAH. There is some hope.

Spring Critters

We had three robins in our front tree today. It is so fun to see the first robin of spring. I love it. One of my favorite things is the first sighting and the anxious waiting for the beginning of my favorite season. The waiting our here takes extra long because there are times when it still snows the beginning of May. Maybe this year will be a quicker entrance to the spring season. Every season has stuff I love, but spring is my favorite. This year I want to plant something new. My friend is giving me a lilac bush so I want to plant that and some flowers.

We also have a squirrel family that lives in our column outside our front door. Unfortunately the squirrels scare off the birds. I can't wait to say good riddance to the squirrels and welcome back to the birds.
