Family Fun with Microwaves 2008-05-24 19:26:50 As I sat here today thinking about what to write about James called and asked me to fax him a grocery list. The girls and I started to check what we needed and soap was on the list. This is when Neona asked if we could microwave some Ivory soap this week and make some oatmeal soap. So I started to think about all the things people microwave for fun.There are many people that microwave things that Read more:Family
Microwaved Ivory Soap 2008-05-24 19:12:56 Yesterday the girls wanted to try a new experiment so we microwaved Ivory
soap so I added it to the website.The kids really thought it was cool. Heck, I did too. LOLAt any rate I really need to get going on some laundry and I should probably feed these kids some lunch. LOL
Chicken & Asparagus 2008-05-24 19:12:31 Well it has been nice here the last couple of days. Not really warm but warm enough to open the windows and get fresh air. My house is probably only 63* inside right now but I will sacrifice so I can get some fresh air.Sunday was a very lazy day for us. James had wanted to go to Racine and visit his dad and grandparents but he of course did not plan ahead. He had Noelle call them at 8am and neithe Read more:Chicken
A few quickies 2008-05-24 19:12:06 Okay just a few quickies that I found on the newspaper blogs again.Who we find attractive...A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face and physique a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle.For instance, if she is ovulating she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features.However, if she is P

New Computer section in the magazine 2008-05-24 19:11:18 Well this day sure is going by fast. This morning we had to rush more than usual to get ready.Noelle had to spend the day at the middle/high school today. They have 7th - 12th grade there so she will be going next year. Today her class went to "experience" a day there. So I had to drop the younger two off early and then drop her off. She was excited about the lunch there. She misses being able to Read more:Computer
The Newsroom 2008-05-24 19:10:36 Just a quick daily update before I jump in the shower. Autumn and Alexis have a make up soccer game today so we are off to practice at 5:30, game at 6pm, and it should be done around 7pm. I guess dinner will be leftovers tonight. LOLToday I looked for new ideas for stuff to add to the site. I thought that maybe I should add something for men to the site. My first thought was to add a sports sectio
Printable Worksheets 2008-05-24 19:09:46 Today I would like to talk about a great website. I was checking my email this morning and I received an email from this website. They are elementary school teachers that have a website full of worksheets. As I looked through their website I started to think about summer coming and the kids being out of school. I like to give my kids homework over the summer. That way they do not forget what they Read more:Printable
The girls' surprise from Dad 2008-05-24 08:28:35 Thursday after school we were all out in the yard when James' work phone rang. It rings nonstop so that was no big surprise. After he got off the phone he said that he had to run to one of his stores that is in a town that is 45 minutes away to go pick something up. I asked what he had to pick up that was so important that it could not wait. We still had a soccer game to go to later.He was being v
Our Garden 2008-05-19 12:53:40 Well it is finally warm enough here in Wisconsin to plant a garden. We tried to do the whole plant the seeds in the basement first thing. We bought the nice 72 cell seed starter kit from Burpee. We bought tomato and broccoli seeds and got it all started ahead of time.The kids got all excited about the plants popping up. Everything looked great... Then one day as I sat at my desk working on one of Read more:Garden
Our Backyard "Camp Site" 2008-05-17 21:32:10 Well this is the little "camp site" they set up on the side of the yard by the play house. In order for me to get it all in the picture I had to take it from far away so it is hard to see some of the details. On the little porch of the playhouse I planted some flower seeds in pots. Also that lump of brown to the right of the middle is actually the fire pit full of wood. I just noticed that our dog
Summer School Sign Up 2008-05-17 16:10:11 Well yesterday after school was crazy. I was rushing around trying to get everything done. The school had summer school sign up online. There are only openings for 15-20 kids per class so I had to hurry and get the girls all registered. They posted the link at 4pm and then you had to race everyone else to get your family registered and then each kid registered before you even pick the classes. The Read more:School

Sooo Tired 2008-05-17 16:01:38 Today we planted the garden. I am worn out and my body is starting to get sore too. James tilled the garden on Saturday. Since then it has rained or been too wet. Today it was finally dry enough and starting to pack down some so I wanted to get it all planted. I can not believe how fast it filled up even though we made it bigger than planned. I hoped we would still have room to buy more seeds but
My Mother's Day 2008-05-17 15:59:45 Wow, this has been a long day!!! When I woke up the girls brought me cards they made at school and cards they each picked out at the store. Then James and Neona went to the store to get a newspaper and brought home flowers. The girls were going nuts and wanted to hurry up and give me my gift. I opened my gift to find bags of Starbucks espresso roast.I told them thank you and wondered if they had f
Sunday Afternoon 2008-05-17 15:40:57 Yesterday ended up being a really nice day. James was gone longer than we had thought. He brought Josh with him because Josh has not seen much of Wisconsin yet and he loves to golf.Three men that talk too much means a very long day of golf. Then they stopped for pizza so James could have Josh try "real pizza". This is something people in Racine always do to people that are not from there. Everyone Read more:Afternoon

Picking a location for the garden 2008-05-17 15:34:43 Today feels weird. It feels like it is Monday and I should have the kids in school. Friday James took off for the garage sale so it feels like the weekend should be over now. James went to Racine this morning to go golfing with his friend Jeremy. Him being gone makes it feel even more like a Monday. He should be back early this afternoon though.When he gets home I want to get out into the yard and Read more:Picking
Garage Sale Day 2 2008-05-17 15:30:04 I give up, I have had enough of this garage sale. I think I would rather just donate all the stuff. It sprinkled a bit early this morning but they still had the soccer games. So they rode their bikes there while I did the garage sale.This morning was a lot colder than yesterday and no one was coming. Yesterday we had the big dog igloo, Little Tikes playground, and basketball hoop out front so more Read more:Garage
Garage Sale Day 1 2008-05-17 15:24:29 So here I am sitting in the garage and it is raining outside!We have not had that many people come since it is Friday and it is raining. The good news is that I just found out that my wireless signal makes it to the garage! So I can sit out here and not be fully bored. So far we have sold the Little Tikes two slide and tube thing for $50 and the dog igloo for $15. Everything else has just been our Read more:Garage
Village wide garage sale 2008-05-17 15:13:54 There is a village wide garage sale May 2nd and 3rd. So James payed $5 to be put on the map. Now the kids and I have to go through the house and garage. James will be gone all weekend so we will have to go through everything ourselves. He took off on the 2nd to help with the sale but he has to work on Saturday.I guess they do this every year. Since we are a little town out in the country this migh Read more:Village
Matt Kenseth Museum 2008-05-17 15:09:13 Sunday we got up early and I made a quick breakfast. Nothing special this week since we were in a hurry. Just cereal with some strawberries in it and Noelle had microwaved eggs and slices of tomato. I did not even have time to make a pot of coffee.We took a country highway instead of the interstate to get to Racine and visit James' dad. It was a really nice drive and the weather was great. James' Read more:Museum
Pork Chop 2008-05-17 14:56:49 We got the second guinea pig? LOLI did not think it would be so hard to find a second one. I called all over Saturday and finally found a store around 4pm. Only one other store had any and they were all white. The store we found had just gotten in a bunch so they were only 4 weeks old. I wish we would have found this place before and gotten both of them from there.The place we got Bacon Bit from i
I am losing my laptop 2008-05-17 14:54:16 Well it appears that I will be losing my laptop. Well that is until we have time to buy a new one we like. James needs one for work since he will be going between more stores and two cities.They gave him the tax forms so he can write off a new laptop and an internet card on his taxes. We have other things to spend money on right now though so we will wait on that. I would rather wait and buy a rea
Bacon Bit 2008-05-17 14:49:44 So James called as he got off the interstate to tell us to get the dogs outside in the kennel before he got home. When he got here he asked everyone to come out and help him carry things inside. The girls were all excited and grabbed their Mc Donalds bags. Then James grabbed a little cardboard happy meal looking box and asked Neona to carry it inside.Everyone stopped and looked at it to find out w Read more:Bacon
Yippy Fast Food 2008-05-17 14:46:01 For once in my life I am actually not being sarcastic while saying that!We live so far away from anything that we have not had fast food since....let me think...still thinking....okay, I guess the last time was back when we got the kids snow pants right after moving here. That would have been almost 3 months ago.We have not even had any form of restaurant food since then. That night it was not eve

Maps new "Street

Edible Playdough 2008-05-27 15:49:30 Memorial Day here was warm and sunny. Now today it got cloudy and pretty cold outside. After all the fun outside yesterday the kids do not want to go out in the cold today. So I am forced to think of something to keep them occupied after school. I do not want to deal with the "I'm bored" statement for the rest of the day. So I decided that we will make some playdough. The kids also want an after s Read more:Edible
Easy Greek Chicken Recipe 2008-05-29 14:41:02 I have been sitting here today trying to decide what to make for dinner. We had some pretty warm and humid days this last weekend so I have not made anything in the oven for awhile. Today it is a bit chilly out and it just started to rain. This would be a great day to make dinner in the oven.I love dinners that can be almost completely made in one pan in the oven. It is much nicer to just put ever Read more:Chicken

Entrecard Roadtrips 2008-05-30 14:45:21 My plan for the blog today changed drastically. I usually do not have that much of a plan. I just sit down and think about what has been going on in my life at the time or what I really want to talk about. This time I actually had planned it ahead of time but then changed it in the middle.I just started doing the Entrecard thing around 2 days ago. I have never come close to the 3oo cards that are
