Yunker Farm, 2010
I don't know if I've ever blogged about Yunker Farm before...it's an old farmstead in Fargo that was turned into an educational center for kids! As you can see...it's COLD out today! What better way to spend our Saturday than staying warm and exercising our brains!?
Tea Party
Here we are on a Saturday afternoon...mom is running around like a crazy person trying to get laundry done, chasing Aiden around trying to get him ready for gymnastics (Savannah has had her leotard on since waking up), making sure Parker has his bowling ball, shoes, socks, etc...and what is our little Miss Savannah Rayne doing?
Well, she is having herself a sweet, QUIET little tea party! She had filled up this set with water and was having tea with her princess friends...you know, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty --- they were all in attendance!! Sometimes it's nice to enjoy the quiet imaginations of GIRLS!

Parker's Valentine Bags
This year for Valentine's Day at school, the 4th graders were faced with a "creative challenge"---they got to take home a brown paper bag and they had to decorate them with things they like. The instruction sheet TOLD them to use stickers, props, drawings, ect, and if they did all that, they earned these special "points". These "points" could get them "treats" from the class "treat bin" (can you tell how supportive I am of FORCING kids to be creative and making them think that the more "stuff" they have to put on their bags, the more "points" they will get!? GOOD GRIEF!). Anyway, Parker has TWO classes he goes to during the day so he had to make TWO of these darned bags!
For his main class, he chose a Football theme. Isn't this cute!? It was all his idea...even the little prop! We don't have toy football players so we substituted a wrestler---oh well! I love that he thought of having the little sticker football look as though it is flying! My creative input was using straws to make the goal posts "pop out"!!
Parker also enjoys COOKING---so he thought up this little bag! Isn't it cute? We hand-drew the mitt and on the back, we used a recipe card and he HAND WROTE the recipe for Sheppards Pie (sp?) on it! He sure is thorough! It was REALLY fun working with him on this and seeing his thoughts come to life!
Look at these beautiful works of art!! Great job and creativity, Parker!! And yes, he earned ALL the points for his efforts!Ahhh Boys
My SHORT Haircut!
Get It?
I REALLY hate it when it's icy and some JERK cuts in front of me about 2 inches off my front bumper so I have to hit the breaks!! Here's just how mad it made me today...
Aiden's Cat
Aiden brought this wonderful work home. I think the handwriting is SO NEAT for a 1st grade BOY and his cat drawing is STINKIN' CUTE so I had to post it! Great work my little first grader! I'm proud of how hard you work in school!
Parker's Brown Belt Test
This was a very exciting test for Parker---getting his Brown belt is a major achievement! He preformed each section FLAWLESSLY!! It's hard to express just how proud of him I am! Everything TKD stands for is found in this beautiful boy, YOU ROCK BUBBA! Love you!

I Got A "GIRL" Tent!
Can you BELIEVE IT!? I got my VERY OWN TENT! It's purple and pretty....it came with a Butterfly backpack, a butterfly flashlight, a waterbottle and even a HEADBAND! WHOO!! Whomever came up with this little package is a GENIUS! Not only boys like to camp, afterall. I got it from a friend for my birthday....I'm so lucky to have a wonderful family and good friends!
Press On Fingernails....ALREADY!?
My Beautiful Baby Girl is 5!
I've been neglecting this blogsite---we have been very busy and at times I think, "what the heck am I doing this for!? No one REALLY gives a crap if I blog or not!". So, I stopped---but I missed it! Then I realized that I never posted pics of my beautiful Sweet Pea when she turned FIVE!! That got me motivated again! I guess it doesn't matter if people think I'm silly...I'm recording these things to let my kids know how much they mean to me and so they know I really, REALLY love them...in case, one day, I'm not here to tell them myself.
Here she is just being silly...those are my FAVORITE pics! REAL LIFE!

Impromptu Pasta!
Parker decided he wanted to try the new SALAD dressing I bought on some PASTA! So...he and Chad "whipped up" TWO different kinds of pasta AND some grilled tomatoes with melted cheese! Parker even "plated" the dishes---yes, we like to watch the Food Network in this house!! Look at THESE GOODIES....YUMMY!
Working hard on the plating...
FANCY!
GREAT JOB BUBBA!! Way to go!
