Superbuddies

Ah, they're just so darn cute!

Here's a poll question for the day: If you were shopping with your husband in a too large grocery store and you managed to lose each other would you...

a. Go to customer service and have them paged?

b. Go back to the car and wait for them to show up?

My Little Guy's 5!

What a great week we had with my parents!! They came a few days before Easter and were able to be there for Jonah's birthday! We had the party at the zoo. A touch on the cold side to say the least but the kids had a great time and didn't seem to care. Jonah figured that now that he is five he should be starting kindergarten right aways. I get such a kick sometimes how they interpret things.

So my parents were here for a whole week making the best out of a cold situation and wouldn't you know the day after they left it climbed right up to 19 degrees! We now can see what our new yard looks like! It's so great being able to enjoy the outdoors once again. I'm on a mission to teach Jonah how to ride a two-wheeler this week, I think it's going to be a challenge. Ben on the other hand, we're all quite proud of him, he actually used his feet to peddle his tricycle! He's always preferred to be a Freddy Flintstone and use his feet to push the bike along, but today I caught him, the feet were actually right on the peddles peddlin' along.

Easter is coming!

When I've got lots to do but am lacking in the desire to get up and do it, I will check out other blogs. I came across one that puts out recipes, love the idea, so here's one that I just made for my bi-weekly MOPS group that I attend as well as prepare a brunch for. Jeff's niece always makes this for Thanksgiving and as Easter is coming up I thought it quite appropriate to post so here it is.

Wheat Salad

1 cup Wheat pre-cooked (what I do is boil a huge amount all at once for two hours then just freeze it so it's ready to go when you need it) 5 tbsp. sour cream 1 lrg. package dry instant pudding 1 can crushed pineapple-undrained 1 can mandarin oranges-drained 1/2 c. Cool Whip (better if you use a bit more than what it calls for)

Stir it up and enjoy-so easy!

(This picture is actually a double batch).

The boys made these at their pre-school - so cute! Their teacher always has great ideas. Apparently in Europe they make these Easter trees and it's quite the bing thing there. Mrs. J cut these cherry blossom branches (pussy willow branches is what they were supposed to be) and stuck them in the planter with (oh no, I can't remember the name it's like cement-you mix it with water) anyway, the branches will suck the moisture and in a few days they will bloom! The eggs are blown out and the kids dressed them up with Easter jackets and dyed them as well. They also hung gummy worms on the tree-they didn't last long.

Enough procrastinating, I'm off to clean the house-my parents are arriving in the morning to stay for a whole week!!!
