snack time

Here's the girl munching on a new favorite snack - smores. Thanks to a special friend, we have a fun smore maker. It holds the marshmallow, chocolate and crackers in place while steaming in the the micro. Yummy treats they are, almost like being camping. Finger licking good. On the same snack time theme, if you have kids I would highly recommend the Barenaked Ladies kids CD called Snack Time. Our kids love it! The popcorn song is a big hit in this house. Lots of fun and not so bad for the adults either since we have to listen to it too.

OK, so here's me reliving my childhood memories with my son. The boy loves the snow. He looks out the window every morning to make sure its still there. When its not we hear "oh no mommy, the rain took winter away."

This big drift was left over after our New Year's Day storm. When I started digging, the snow was perfect for making snow caves and tunnels. This was day 1's version. Day 2 I added a sky light/snow slide from the top. Fun times.
GO.

2009 and my little big word

Here we GO 2009 and I'm ready for you.

Some of you may be familiar with the one little word project (read about it here if you'd like: http://www.aliedwards.typepad.com). What's one little word? Choose a word of inspiration for yourself to motivate you throughout the year. When I first looked at things going on here I was drawn to words like relax, calm, peace which are all fantastic words. But there was just something so not my style. So here it is...my little word....GO. Its actually one little big word, and can mean so much. I have a very busy year ahead of me, new job, kids to play with, pictures to take and fun things to do adventures to GO on. GO is going to be my motivator to make the most of every day, to get things done but also motivating me to GO and relax and slow down from time to time. So, here it is GO. Now that I have my word I just need a theme song to going along with it.

What word inspires you? Here I am going....GOing to add a blog picture....finally.

cheer

go faster!

What are grandfathers for? Driving fast on the 5 wheeler of course. 5 wheeler = hours of entertainment for all the kids, big and small. I had to post these photos, the look on their faces tells it all.

“Remember, remember the fifth of November,

The gunpowder, treason and plot,

I know of no reason

Why the gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.”
