Abram and Chloe turn 8 and 6!!

Happy Birthday Abram and Chloe

 They made it easy for me when they both requested dirt cake. I found these cute pots at a good will for $1.38 each. The flowers and gummy worms were a fun edition =).

House Cleaning and a Music Studio

Well, Drew is out of town so why not do some deep cleaning and rearranging.  We brought up all the bins in one section of the basement.  I sorted through those, with a good will bag, a bag for a friend and a trash bag at hand.  In place of the bins there is now a music studio, complete with a computer a friend gifted to us. There is a free program called audacity that Jacob loaded on it.  He has started a new blog and has already done a recording made in the basement studio. Hope you hop over and like Cob's blog!!

Pizza, Chickens, Spring??

The snow was fun but I sure am thankful it is melting now : )

I love to have the kids help make pizza dough!!

I am so thankful the chickens are out in their coop in the garage (and it looks like it is staying warm enough for them in there, even if the outdoor temps have been COLD!!)

Birthday Recap

 What a nice slow paced busy day if that makes any sense at all.  I played MasterMind with Chloe, and made my annual birthday cheesecake between turns. Kids played outside! With 42 degree temps it felt like a heat wave. Kids hung out inside or played piano.  I even got a short nap with an amazing wake up surprise; a harmonized rendition of "Happy Birthday" by the P. clan! To top it off Kristin stopped in for supper (she did receive and extremely last minute invite), which we all topped off with a walk before dessert. Icing on the cake was rocking Chloe to sleep (not to mention freshening up the chicken box after most of the children were settled in bed).  I am blessed!!

Abi and Kristin!

Here are the ladies waiting for me to help their home smell pleasant! : )
