A Company Ready House

I have been thinking. I know, I know...

A friend called the other day and asked if they could come by, the were bringing me somethng. I said sure and then I went around the house cleaning a little here and a little there. The next day, I was thinking, "Why do we (and I say "we" because I know I am not the only one) do that?

I know we want the house to look good but why doesn't it alway look presentable? Shouldn't it look good for the members of the house hold. I didn't want them to see my mess but it is ok for my family to look at it day after day?

I am going to do better!! I want a company ready house at all times. Now, don't come now because I have to get started first. LOL.. Ok, up to do dishes, laundry and clean the bathroom.

Jonathan made us supper the other night. It was totally his idea without any help from Mom or Dad except Daddy helped him slice the apples.

This blessed me sooo much. I just couldn't explain to him how it made me feel. Maybe someday his will know though.

Kabobs had apple, cherry tomatoes, olives, blueberries and grapes. An interesting combinations but not too bad. I am not an olive eater but I ate mine this night. :)

More snow

Quote for the day:

Do things with your children that you really don't want to do and someday when you are old they will do things with/for you when they don't really want to.

It is snowing again. Yee Haw.

More snow

We got more snow. I love taking snow pictures. This is my fish pond.



My husband build a snow boy. He is so creative.

He looks like a giant here.

Have a happy day!

Homemade peanut butter.

You start with raw peanuts. This time I didn't bother getting the skins off.






I roasted them but I can't remember how long. LOL. Good tutorial, huh?



I then ran them thru my Champion Juicer. It get too warm so I had to take a few breaks before it was all done.

The end results. Fresh made peanut butter. Opps, just relized this picture is side ways. Hope the peanut butter doesn't pour out. :)

Days of winter.

My husband turned the couch on its front to sweep after our New Years Party and Jonathan and I made a tent. Jonathan slept there two nights.



We made Carrot Apple Juice. YUM!

I finally cooked on our wood stove. Stew. Can't wait to eat some here in a bit.

Daddy and Son playing table, or should I say floor, Hockey.

Happy New Year

Just wanted to pop in and say Happy New Year to everyone. I have stuff to share but can't right now. Hopefully later today.

Snow Pictures

We woke to SNOW!!! this morning. It is still snowing and we have some drifts that are 3+ foot deep. It is about 5 or 6 inches else where.
Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year everybody.

Bloggy blog blog blog...

Here is what has been going on...

We put together some snowman ornaments. This craft has been around here for several years and we decided it was time to put them together. I just relized I didn't get a "finished" picture.

This is what I saw when my sister came for a visit and brought her kidos. Little feet. He is 5 months in this picture.

We worked on putting window trim up. Little by little this house will get built.

I found a good deal at a yard sale. This yogurt maker cost me $5, nope I forgot, I got it half price for $2.50. It was still new in the box. One of the lids is cracked from age but it will still work. This is the second one I got. The first one did cost $5.00 several years ago and it wasn't new. Most of the lids are cracked on it.

This is our new dog, Strike. He is half Corgi and half Jack Russell.

A little playing in the leaves.

Just for fun.

A puzzle to try.

Never ending battle

I have been fighting an unending battle today. Everytime I turn around there are flies.

I killed hundres of them this morning but they keep showing up!!! I'm keeping the doors shut.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!

Life as it happens

This picture isn't very clear but I thought I would share it anyway. It is lots of butterflies on a tree. The Monarch Butterfly was migrating and stopped here for a rest. (Well, a few blocks away at my friends house.)



Lickin' the "spoons."

My dad and me on our birthday.

Jonathan learned to ride his bike without training wheels. If you notice in the picture, they are still on the bike but bent up.

Now Daddy is taking them off.

Jonathan got to help a little. Then Daddy took over again.

Way to go!!!

B-day time...

Well, the day is almost here. I have one year and one day to be in my 30's. Wow!! 39....

My dad and I share our birthdays. I think is is really special. I wouldn't want it any other way.

We are going to have a birthday party here at my house. We are going to have Breakfast for Dinner. Yum!!

Pancakes
Bisquits
Gravy
Scrambled Eggs
Sausage
Bacon
and maybe some hashbrown.

I expect to have at least 18 people, more or less.

My dad will be 64 this year.

So...Happy Birthday to us. LOL.

A kid funny.

We were sitting at the table after lunch. We had been playing "I spy" by spelling words and then Jonathan figuring out what we spelled and spied. Well, it was his turn to spell something and he spelled "bible" because he seen it on a book on the shelf behind Daddy. Then he spelled "landscaping".. Daddy said the word and then asked Jonathan if he knew what it meant.

Jonathan said "yes, it means scaping from the land of America" I laughed do hard. I thought I would roll on the floor.

Happy Birthday!!

We celebrated Jonathan's 6th birthday Tuesday, the 18th. WOW!

He is such a blessing to us!

Below are some of our guests. Don't get scared. LOL.

Here are Daddy and Son playing with Transformers. I think he had a wonderful Birthday
