Homemade pancake mix


Yesterday seemed like the longest day at work, I had no motivation and I really didn't feel like helping anyone with getting their shit done!  I have lost my interest...maybe today will be better.
The boys were so energetic when we got home, they ran all over the yard playing "easter egg hunt" with rocks.  Then when I was making dinner they were chasing eachother at top speed through the kitchen and sliding into the bathroom.  Not sure what they had for lunch but ut certainly gave them energy.

GG is coming tonight to stay over before she leaves for Australia for an undetermined amount of time...
Miss her already :(

Time to get ready for work,   hopefully I will not spill my coffee today!

30 Days of Pinterest....Day 2-Orange Marmalade

Last night Cy was sick so I stayed home from work.

I was able to make Orange Marmalade from this:

30 DAYS OF PINTEREST Day 1& Boys this week

Every day for 30 days I will do an activity or craft that I have pinned on my board on PINTERST.
I figure I have so many things that I have pinned that I better get started on doing some of them...

Last night I made a window star from this pin: http://countryblossom.blogspot.ca/2010/10/window-star-tutorial.html

HAVE A NEW KID BY FRIDAY

I rented the title book on cd from the library.

I love it!  It makes so much sense... I have already noticed a difference in the kids by changing my own reactions to the situations.

It has made life more fun for everyone, I do not feel that I am always on edge waiting for the next "naughty"  I can just deal with each problem calmly as it arises :)

If you loose your cool or your fun because of stress over discipline check this out!

The boys baked teddy bread and their own batch of cookies at Debbie's house today!  They are really having a great time at their new dayhome!

We are all having a great summer...the garden is going crazy with produce.  I started a chart to keep track of the amount of food we get because I want to do the 100 mile diet next year.

CANDY

I asked Cy to start us off for the night time song "now I lay me down to sleep.... "

He started with " I want Candy!"
