Boy's Singing and Cold Weather

Yesterday, at Church the boys got to sing with the adult choir for four songs!!  Dummy me forgot my camera though ugh.  We were over 1/2 way there when I realized it!  Ugh sometimes I don't know where my head is.

They did really well too!!  Jarod was on the bottom row on the left hand side and he was the second one in that line.  Then Chord being as tall as he is was in the top row (there was only 2 rows) on he was the first one all the way to the right.  They sang Silent Night, Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel, and What I want for Christmas.  I was so proud for them :)!  Now if only I had pictures *sigh*.

It's been really cold here the last few days so other than going to Church yesterday we haven't done much at all.  The roads are pretty yucky too.  The road commission I guess (just like most of Michigan) is cutting down on things like only salting and scrapping main roads and no over time.  So the roads are awful!  Thankfully we have the jeep which is a part time 4x4. 

It's been so bad that Harlow has even had to get one of our neighbors cars unstuck in our own driveway (we share the same driveway) a few times.  Thankfully they have our number they  ever need to get pulled out!

Tomorrow I have to go to the Laundromat to do laundry so hubby said he would drive me (the boys too of course LOL) there.  Which I am glad because I really don't like driving in this mess.  I have driven in snow before but this is a lot of snow and ice!  Anyone out there need any ice or snow? LOL.  I would be too happy to ship those out along with the cold LOL.  I am so not a winter person!  How about you?

Random Things and Snow!

Well, I am not going to Church tonight because I am not feeling so well.  Not really sick but feeling a little run down.  The boys and hubby went though.  The boys have to go though because they have dress rehearsal because Sunday they are singing with the Adult Choir on stage.  The boys love being on stage.  I was in choir in high school but it wasn't my favorite thing to do LOL.  So I don't know where the boys get their love of doing it LOL.

In other things it started snowing a lot last night and has been snowing lightly all day today.  There was enough snow to settle on the ground so there was quite a bit!  So we stopped school a little early today so the boys could go outside and play in the snow.  Here are some pics of the boys in action LOL.  Both Harlow and I took some pics of them :) enjoy!

 
This is Chord and Jarod pretending that Jarod was injured and Chord is taking him to the medic (I forget what exactly he said but something Star Warzy (I realize that's not a real word but hey it fits LOL)!

Pic of Jarod wearing my hat LOL.  It's big on my head so it's really big on him LOL.

Chord in my hat.

 

Hehe hubby in my hat!!! My goofy man :P!

A goofy pic of me.  I always look goofy in pics LOL.  See how big the hat is on me?

A Fishing Story and Blessings

We had a pretty good weekend.  Saturday we didn't do much of anything but Sunday was Church and then afterwards we went to my mom's so her and her fiance' could take the boys fishing :).  We all went (even Hubby who is not really into fishing LOL).  I pretty much just helped the boys fish.  Hubby I think just enjoyed watching us LOL.  Chord caught his first two fish ever and Jarod also caught two!  They were just small little blue gills but boy did it make Chord excited LOL!!

He was casting his rod like an old pro and hooked those two fish with his own skill LOL.  I will have to get the pics scanned or have my mom (she took the pics with her camera. I forgot mine ugh) email them to me to share on here.  Chord thought fishing was the best thing ever LOL.  He had a blast!!

Jarod on the other hand got a little board.  He doesn't sit still for long so he was off doing his own thing most of the time.  He did enjoy giving me the worms to put on the hooks though LOL.  It's so funny because just last year he wouldn't touch any bug or creepy crawly with a ten foot pole LOL.  Just a year later and he's held many of bugs and creepy crawlies (except spiders LOL) and thinks it's fun!!  Go figure.  Chord on the other hand still doesn't like to touch them LOL.  I don't think he's really scared of them.  I think it's just he doesn't want to feel them crawling on him LOL.  All in all the fishing trip was a blast!!!

Anyway today one of our Pastors had his wife call and invite us all out for dinner.  So hubby, the boys and I went and met our Pastor and his wife at Church and then we drove to a Pizza Parlor.  It was a nice time.  I love talking with them and hanging out.  Anyway they know of hubby not having a job right now and how well it's been really tough on us financially.  I know I don't talk much about it here but it has been rough.  (I know God will get us through so it's not something I try and dwell on).  Anyway (Sorry got off track) out of their own personal money gave us some money to help us along!

This wasn't church money but from them personally!!  I am in tears just typing this because I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful Church family that one of our Pastor's and his family would do that for us!!  It was so unexpected. 

See our Church is a pretty big Church but yet it's still such a close church! Our Pastor's know everyone by name and manage to talk to everyone!  They invite people out to lunch or dinner or whatever just to fellowship with people!    I have never been to a church that was like this before!  Especially one so big!! 

I just have to say our family is so blessed!!  I know we are going through a hard time with the unknowing if and when Harlow will get a job.  Granted Harlow will be starting school in Jan. but he has to go full time (in order for Michigan Works to pay for it all) so he won't be working and we will be living off  of unemployment(Well TRA which is like unemployment after the unemployment) for at least a year. Which is a struggle (Sorry veered off again LOL) but we have been so blessed from family, our Church.  I tell you I know we couldn't get through this with out God working His miracles with us!!  Every time we start to wonder what we are going to do something happens and we make it through.  We are truly blessed!!

Well I guess I have babbled on long enough.  Once again a post got longer than what I was intending LOL.  I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! 

A Little of This and a Little of That.

Well I still have more cleaning to do but I haven't done any since Friday LOL.  I am wore out.  I will get to the rest probably either tomorrow or Tuesday depending what all I have to do.

Last night I went on a MOMS Night out with MOMS Club® mom's.  It was a bonfire at one of the mom's homes.  It was really nice to just hang out with friends with no worries.  I really needed it and glad my other friend talked me into going.

Today we went to church but have not other plans for today.  I plan on being pretty lazy LOL.  My body is still sore from all the cleaning (and hey I have exercising too with my Shimmy DVD LOL).  It will be nice just to sit and relax for a day. :)

Tomorrow I have Bible Study with the MOMS Club® moms.  I have another friend coming to pick me up so we don't have to worry about gas.  She lives in the town next to mine and has to come through this way anyway.  So that will be nice. I love these monthly gatherings :). 

For the rest of the week besides Friday I don't have much of anything planned but that may change too never know.  Friday is just a breakfast with new members with the MOMS Club®.  Nothing elaborate just a breakfast at another board members home.  Just away for the new members to feel welcomed.  So do you have any plans for the week?

Had a good weekend. Friday we went to the Zoo with friends of ours. The boys and their friend had a great time. I think they enjoyed each other's company more so then being at the Zoo itself. I have to go through the pics and alter the ones with our friends on it since I am sure she doesn't want her children on the Internet LOL. When I do that I will try and get them up. I know, I know I said I wasn't going to take any more pics of the Zoo but hubby offered to buy more batteries for me so I really couldn't refuse could I? LOL. I just can't help myself :P.

Saturday, was pretty much a lazy day. We spent the time at home not doing a whole lot. Which was ok because after the Zoo I was pretty tired LOL. So were the boys too I think. It was a good day though :).

Sunday was Church of course. Not much after that either. So another lazy day. I did straighten up the house a bit though LOL. Yep, I have a boring life but that's so much better than having a lot of drama in my life LOL.

Today boys did their school work and then we all (even hubby) went to the Library to return a few books and to get a few more. After that we went to the park right next to the Library and let the boys play for a bit. Then we went for a short walk to the local store to get a us something to drink and took a longer walk back to the park so the boys could play a little longer. It was a nice day for a walk and it was a nice time together as a family. It's hard to just walk down our street since it's a busy road and the speed limit is 50 miles and hour with no sidewalk. So I am leery about just me walking down the road let alone with the kids. So when we can get walks in it's nice :). So what was your weekend?

Don't have anything much to blog about. Had a pretty laid back weekend. Still trying not to use too much gas. The place we went to this weekend was Church. Oh and hubby went with his friend to Musicians Friend so he (his friend) could pick something up. That was about it for us. Today was much the same. Only difference is we did schooling LOL.

Tomorrow I am going to a Pot Luck within the MOMS Club®. It's a Mexican themed and we all get to bring one ingredient to it. Which is good for me because I am really awful on knowing what to bring or make for a pot luck LOL. This time I am bringing the shredded cheese LOL. So it should be a good time.

The rest of the week we aren't doing anything till Friday. That's when (if weather permits) hubby drops us off at my friends house (she homeschool's too) and then we head for the Zoo. We got a membership before hubby was laid off so as long as we pack our lunches we won't have to pay for anything :).

Tomorrow is also laundry day so I am going to go to the Laundromat (with boys and their school work) head to the store for a couple things and then to the Pot Luck. Then on Thursday we will probably do a bit of grocery shopping. So that is our week planned out. Pretty boring huh? LOL. How was your weekend?

I am a bit tired now LOL. I got up at six a.m. Yesterday I woke up at six-thirty. The reason for this? I wanted to start a new routine for myself really. I like being able to get up, drink my coffee (yes, I have to have my coffee to function LOL. Bad me :P) read some emails, do my exercise and enjoy just some me time.

It was nice having some quiet time while the boys and hubby were sleeping. I hope to make this a habit. This is the time I want to be able to just reflect and take some time out and talk with God :). I feel I get so busy during the rest of the day with schooling the boys, getting breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with spending time with the family, that I forget I need some daily time to myself and to God. It was even nicer too that the boys slept in longer than usual (almost 8 a.m.) because they were up later last night because we had Church last night.

We have now been back to school for almost two weeks and all is going well. I thing the boys are so used to the routine now. This is our fourth year of homeschooling. It really does get easier and more relaxed as we go along. I think it really has made us closer as a family. I have noticed too that though we homeschool are are together as a family, the boys are more independent. They don't need hubby and I to play with them all day, even with their schooling I don't have to be over their shoulder watching them. Sure there are some things I have to teach them but once they understand it they really don't need or want me to be over them. With Jarod I have to be there a little more but that's because he's only in First Grade right now. He is still learning to read (better) so I have to help with reading things and help him with his math. But once he understands something he doesn't want me to hang over him either.

My boys are growing up so fast. I thought homeschooling would slow that time a little more but it really hasn't :(. They still grow-up so fast!! But I really do enjoy the time we have together. I hope everyone has been having a good week!!

Today was a good day. We went to Church and had a good service! Talking about how when God wants us to do something we can't go by our history but our destiny that God has for us. We might not be able to do something but God can and will get us through. So it was a good service since we are going through our own tribulation with hubby not having a job. Helps us keep leaning on God. I know we will be ok. I have that much faith that we will pull through this tough time.

After Church today we went to Harlow's cousins house to pick-up some movies he borrowed from the boys (Clone Wars, an animated Star Wars thing). They live just down the road from our Church. It was a nice visit.

After we got home a few hours later Harlow and I made dinner. See yesterday we took some pork chops out and marinated them in apple pie filling. Harlow learned from a friend of his about this so we thought we would try it out. It was really good!! The boys even ate it all up LOL. I made some mashed potato's with some garlic in it and we also had a salad (fresh veggies except the lettuce was store bought) . I love trying something new and everyone liking it LOL. So I will have to make it again sometime.

Other than that not much going on. Tomorrow not much planned either other than doing school work with the boys. Trying not to use too much gas. All though I do have to say it's been a little lower than it has been. Still too much though LOL. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Friday was the Calendar planning and that went well (for the MOMS Club®).  Saturday we went to my moms for a visit.  Sunday was Church.  Today not much going on.  Was supposed to go to a MOMS Club® board meeting but that got canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow morning.  I won't be able to go to it though because I have to do laundry at the Laundromat. 

It rained a little here and now it's pretty humid ugh.  It was good to have a bit of rain though.  Not much else going on lately.  I still have things I want to blog about but I just haven't gotten to it yet LOL.  I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Not much going on today. We went to church but that's about it. It was a good service. But anyway I don't really have a lot to chat about today. For a couple of day's now my shoulder through to my neck has been hurting me. It feels like a sharp pain when I move a certain way. I have no idea what I did to it. The only thing I can think of is maybe I slept on it wrong. I just hope it feels better soon.

Tomorrow is a MOMS Club® Membership meeting. So this will be my first Membership meeting as Secretary. I had a board meeting and now it's the membership meeting. I think I have everything I need for the meeting tomorrow. Sign-up sheets, Newsletter and Calendar copies, Agenda copies for everyone and for me to take notes. After the meeting I will have to get the minutes typed out and emailed out to all the members and make a copy to put in my file folder. I already mailed out the newsletter and calendar to the higher ups yesterday so that's done. I just had to get those sent so they would get it by the 15th of the month. So I am doing good LOL. Wish me luck :). I am pretty sure I will be fine though. I've been having fun doing everything and making it my own :). I hope everyone has had a good day!

I haven't really been doing too much the last couple day's other than being hot LOL.  Sunday we didn't end up going to church because hubby wasn't feeling well. It was such a lazy day.  I slept for a while and honestly didn't do much of anything.  Today was a little better LOL.  I didn't go any where but had more energy and did clean up the house some (not that it's that bad since I really cleaned it not too long ago).  Yesterday I didn't do my exercises like I should have.  I tell you I just had no energy ugh.  Today I did though so that's good.  Today I also did some school work with the boy's.  I am going to try to get back on track with that.  We have been out and about lately that I haven't gotten to it.  But the boy's really need it I think.  They seem to have a better attitude about things when they do their school work.  They will have Wednesday off though because they are going swimming again at the pond.  Hey that's P.E. right? LOL.  Then later we are going to the car show again (they have it every Wednesday from 6-9).  So they are learning about cars LOL.  So shop class you think? LOL.  In Michigan we don't have to report to anyone or anything so I really don't have to count anything.  More for my benefit than anything else LOL.  So how was your weekend? 

Tomorrow I have a MOMS Club® membership meeting to attend. This is one I will learn a little bit more about being the Secretary. I'll have to shadow the current Secretary and then I am on my own in July. This is something new for me. I know it's only a voluntary thing but it is an International Club and I will have to mail some things out to the corporate headquarters. So it is important for the club. So pray that I do all right. Then again I can always ask help from the previous Secretary too but it's still something so new to me. It's like starting a new job even though I am not getting paid for it LOL.

Today we didn't do much. We went to church and then came home. We have been out and about lately so it was nice not to have to run any where or be any where. Like I said tomorrow is the MOMS Club® meeting. Tuesday is laundry day at the Laundromat. Wednesday no plans as of yet anyway. Thursday the third is Freedom Festival at our church. They are even going to have firework displays. We are helping out on watching one of the Moonwalks for an hour. It should be fun. We invited one of Harlow's brothers (one we haven't seen in forever) to come so hopefully he and his girlfriend and children do come. The other ones are invited too of course but we had to offer to this particular brother because we rarely see them. Friday is not only the 4th of July but also Harlow's and mine 10 year Wedding Anniversary. Don't really have any plans though because we are tight on money now. To be honest I would just love to stay at home and just spend some time with him. I am not too picky LOL. We will see how that goes. So that is my week in advance. Hope everyone else has a great week!!!

Thanks for all the compliments on my dress :D. It was a really great night!!! I really needed a night out. Didn't know how much till I was there LOL.

Yesterday we went to church and I got a birthday card from the church and after church we went to my mom's and she had a cake, card and money for me. My brother and his wife and daughter were there too. It was a nice time!!!

Today is my actual birthday so I've had a full weekend LOL. Today we just went out shopping. All though I didn't buy anything but dinner for us at China Buffet. It was a good time though. Not much else going on. Yea I know I have a boring life but that's ok I'd rather have a boring life than a drama filled life any day LOL. I've had drama in my life and prefer not too LOL. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!

Sorry didn't blog last night. Wednesday's is church day so we didn't get home till after nine P.M. So I was just too tired to blog LOL. We had a visiting Pastor come and visit us. He is headed to Hatti today. It was a good time. He really didn't do a sermon per say but more of just talking to us about what he's doing. He goes to countries (like Jamaica and now Hatti) and preaches the Word to those who may have never heard it. He was telling us a story that one time he had this one guy following him and trying to kill him, a radical Muslim, well he (the Pastor) was preaching and this man heard him and ended up on his knees crying. When the Pastor asked what he was there for (he knew who it was) the man looks up ad said. "I have never heard of God's love before."! The man was saved right then and there! How awesome is that?!

Anyway today we went to the Zoo with the MOMS Club. We actually got there before anyone else and we went through the whole Zoo before we met up with them LOL. So we went through it again LOL. It was a good time and the boy's loved having their friends there. What was really funny though is that even though I have been a part of MOMS Club since 2005 few of the other moms have ever met my husband. He just doesn't go out much and he just not as much of a social person as I am. Sure he has friends but he sticks to the ones mostly he grew up with. Where as I grew-up moving all the time so it's easy for me to make new friends quickly. So I had to tell my friends, "See I do have a husband." LOL. My one friend said. "You must have rented him for the day." LOL. Poor guy was the only man there LOL. One of the other mom's husband was there but he was on a field trip with their other daughters class. He did stop by though. It is actually like a 2nd or 3rd cousin of my hubby. They went to school together too so they caught up a little before he had to go. So it was a good time had by all. I really didn't get a lot of pics of the boy's (bad mom) I got some good pics of some of the animals though LOL. They were very cooperative LOL. Here are some pic's of our time there!

Boy's are tall for their age but next to this Polar Bear they look tiny LOL.

Polar Bear(hard to see sorry. The babies were in the water. They don't look little any more LOL)

This was too cute the giraffe was looking at the Guinea bird LOL.

Sharks(Harlow's Fav.)

Boy's were playing with their friends here(not pictured)

I have more pics but these are the best ones. I hope you enjoyed looking at them :D.

Just wanted to blog before we had to go to church later. I know by the time I get home I will be too tired to post LOL.

Not much going on today. I feel really tired for some reason. I did go to bed a little later than usual last night but man I feel dead tired. Hopefully I will be a little more awake when we leave for church. You will be proud of me I haven't been out and about today LOL. Granted we will be going to church but that is what we do on Wednesday's anyway LOL. But other than that we stayed at home and just spent time as family.

Tomorrow I also have nothing planned so I will relax again LOL. Probably get the house around a little more too. It's a mess :P. I just felt too tired today to do much more than dishes and basic pick-up LOL.

Friday I do have a Bible Study with the MOMS Club but I always enjoy that and it's a relaxing atmosphere. I so enjoy doing our studies with the other women of faith. Some are Baptise, some are Lutheran and some are even Catholic (and me I come from a non-denomination church). Yet we are all friends and come together under Christ. It's a wonderful thing. I have known these women from the MOMS Club now for almost four years and they have all become good friends. I am grateful that someone pointed me to this Club and I am glad I am a part of it.

The weekend nothing planned just yet but that's how most of our weekends start out LOL. We shall see what goes on and how hubby and I feel.

Monday I have the Monthly Membership Meeting with the MOMS Club where we will do our elections for the new board. I know I will be Secretary though because no one is running against me LOL. So I will be shadowing the current Secretary for the next few meetings or so. I am both excited and nervous about doing this.

After Monday I don't have anything going on till Thursday which is also with the MOMS Club and that is we have Science Club which another mom and I are in charge of. This might be the last one we do though because we both will be on the board so hopefully someone will take our positions on both Science Club and Create and Play. I will be kind of sad to let these things go but then again we have gotten a lot of new members and I would love to see them take a part in doing some of these things.

Well I think I am going to go see what's going on in other's peoples world's (blogs) and then get ready for church or at least get prepared for church LOL. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Well we didn't end up going to Hula Mania at our Church tonight. Had something come up so we just stayed home and we are now watching the Nation Wide Race on TV LOL. The boy's are content and had a good time playing outside with a friend of theirs anyway LOL.

Tomorrow nothing planned but for me to go do the grocery shopping. So it will be another relaxing day. That is good I think we need it LOL. Sunday is Mother's Day but nothing really planned except maybe go to my mom's for the day.

Even though we are a busy family I have to say we do take some time to just be at home too. The boy's don't need to be out and about to be entertained. Sometimes I think they quite enjoy just being home on some day's LOL. We will have a busy week or two and then a week or two of not doing much. Seems to ebb and flow LOL.

So what are your plans for Mother's Day?

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday. We had church and didn't get home till after 9 PM and I was too tired to get on an blog LOL. We are reading Romans in our class at church. We have been talking about the difference of living just under the law and living under Grace. I am really enjoying it.

Today was Create and Play with the MOMS Club. We made some homemade children hand castings for the craft. It's just using flour, salt and water. She is going to take them home to bake and paint them. I think they will turn out great! I can't wait to see them!

Later we went to Harlow's brother's house to just hang out. The boy's had fun playing with one of their cousins. Their other one was in preschool so she wasn't there but her younger brother was. They always have so much fun when we go there.

Afterwards we went to Burger King and got something to eat and went to the cemetery where Harlow's mom and dad are buried. They finally have a headstone up for them so I got to see it for the first time. We didn't stay long though because it was pretty chilly out. We will go again when it's nicer out. Maybe we'll bring some flowers to put out there too.

I didn't know Harlow's dad too well. I had met and talked with him before we were married and all but I didn't get to know him much. Harlow's mom though I did. I really do miss her. She really was like another mom to me. I could go and talk to her about anything and she would listen. If I miss her that much I can only imagine how much Harlow misses both his parents. That is something as a wife I can't take away the pain of losing them.

Ok I am done being sappy I guess. Tomorrow was supposed to be a Bible Study within the MOMS Club but that was postpone till the 16th now. Tomorrow the boy's have a Hula Hoop thing at Church to go to. There will be games and things there for the community! I think it will be a good time.

No plans as of yet for the weekend. Probably go to my mom's on Sunday for Mother's Day but that's about it. Things will probably change though. They always do LOL. I hope everyone is having a good week!

The weekend was good. Saturday we ended up going to a Trading Center about a 40 min. drive from here. The boy's got some die cast cars and hubby got a couple of things. I didn't get anything but then again I just don't enjoy spending money LOL. I don't know why but I have always been like that. Even when I was younger I never begged my parents for the "cool" clothes or the "in thing". Nope I liked the cheaper stuff better. My mom used to even try to get me to want the more expensive things but I just didn't care for them. My dad and also my dad's mom was like that too so I must take after them. I just don't know why I am like that. I don't think it's necessarily because I am cheap LOL. I just really don't like spending money on me. I love getting other people things. Especially if it's something I know they will like. I guess I am just odd LOL.

Anyway Sunday we went to church and then the rest of the day was spend at home. That was a nice break after all the running we did during the week. It was nice just to be lazy LOL.

Today was the monthly MOMS Club meeting. No one else is running for Secretary except me so I will be having that position once the elections are over LOL. This will mean I will have to get rid of some of the other things I do like Create and Play maybe the Science Club, Nursery coordinator and making the name tags LOL. Wow I don't think I realized how much I do till I typed it all out LOL. I love being a part of the club though. I have made a lot of good friends through it and I know the boy's love doing the things they have going and also have made a lot of good friends.

Tomorrow is laundry day. But other than that no plans. I am hoping for another do nothing much day LOL. I don't feel like I recuperated from last week LOL. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. How was every one's weekend?

Sorry no pics today. We had Church tonight and didn't get home till almost 10:30 PM so I didn't have time to upload any pics. I will be getting to bed soon too. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able too. The boy's have Science Club with the MOMS Club but that's not till 3:30 PM so I should be able to get them up sometime before that or sometime after that. Please forgive me lol.

Yesterday it seemed like I just didn't get a chance to get on here. We did school work and then we went outside for a while. It wasn't as nice out as it has been though but hey at least no snow right? LOL. At 7pm we were at Church. The boy's didn't get to bed till after 9 P.M. The boy's bedtime is usually 8 P.M. They seem to have better attitudes when they go to bed at this time. They wake-up regardless of what time they go to bed though at 7 a.m. so they need that extra sleep. They didn't have any attitude problems today though. So it's ok once in a while to break bedtime LOL.

One of our Pastors prayed over us about Harlow getting a job. I really love our church. It's on the bigger side but I have never felt left out or alone. You know how some places (not a Church per say but places in general) if it's a bigger place with lots of people you almost feel like you are the odd one out? Before we found this Church that's how I felt at other Churches I had visited02 before. It really felt like coming home. We started going there in 2002 and then in 2004 we had stopped going for two years because Harlow was working midnights(he worked Sunday Nights too). Not that it's an excuse but it happened. Then we went back Easter of last year and I never felt judged but welcomed back like the Prodigal Son :D. I guess I would be more a Prodigal daughter though huh? LOL. I always look forward to going and what's even more awesome is the boy's love going to!

Anyway today was Create and Play with the MOMS Club. We made butterfly's with coffee filters, markers, pipe cleaners and a spray bottle. Take a couple of coffee filters and have the kids color all over them with the markers (many different colors) then (this is the messy part LOL) take the spray bottle and spray water all over the coffee filters. Let them dry and then pinch them together in the middle and and put the two filter's together. Next wrap a pipe cleaner around them. Making sure you have both ends folded together (facing each other). Also make sure to leave a the two ends together and when they make the antenna's and curl them. You can also put a magnet on them too if you'd like. Everyone had fun making this craft LOL. We also read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. My partner in it read another book (not butterfly related) and we danced to some music! It was a good time.

Right now I am watching qualifying for NASCAR'S Sprint Cup. We are Jr. fans LOL. I hope (and of course hubby does LOL) he does well this race! Ok I am done rambling for now LOL. I hope everyone had a good day!!
