For those who were wondering….

I was making:  Oatmeal Pancake Mix.

🙂

It was delicious too.  Even ask the Baker kids who spent the night last night–we all enjoyed them for breakfast!

I’m slowing making my way through the piles of boxes. The house is mostly done, except for the storage room where there are still lots of boxes. And the garage which has been a big “catch-all” for stuff we don’t know what to do with yet. Today’s big news was that Tim was able to come home a little early and set up the long awaited playset that we acquired over the summer. We made a slight miscalculation on how long the slide is when we put it together, so it comes down VERY close to our neighbor’s fence… so we’ll look into fixing that. Later. For now it will have to do. 🙂 I’ll try and take a picture of it soon–right now it’s night and it’s getting covered in snow.

I spent 4 1/2 hours cleaning the rental house today and mowing (and bagging) the lawn. We are planning to do our final walk through this week and turn in our keys and hopefully get our large security deposit back.

I was really dreading going back there to clean, but I must say that it feels really excellent to know it’s done. And we can move on now. 🙂

Today I had a student come to the door with this….

🙂

Isn’t that great!?  I had to laugh at the boy carrying in the package that stretched above his head–but I’m super excited!

(P.S. I answered your questions, Mom and Kylene in the comments from yesterday’s post)

It’s official! We own a new house!

Unfortunately I had to rush right home from the signing to teach all day so I didn’t even get to go and step inside of it until I finished teaching at 9:00… but IT’S OURS!!! YIPPIE!!!!!!

Now the fun of moving can begin!

More pictures to come tomorrow–when I can actually see things in the light.

This afternoon it started raining but it was so cold outside that the droplets stayed in their ball form.  I took these pictures on the railing of our deck outside.  Didn’t they turn out so cool!?!

Water Droplets

Closer Droplets

The other day I had the Playstation on to let the kids watch a show (we love “My Little Pony” around here!) and then walked away to do other things.  The show ended and I told them they couldn’t watch anymore, but I also hadn’t walked up and turned off the system yet…

Much to my surprise, when I walked into the room a couple minutes later, I found Josiah with the Playstation controller zipping around the menu trying to get another show started all by himself!  That little stinker!

He was almost in the right spot–which would have really complicated things because all his efforts would have worked and then I’m sure he would be trying EVERY time I left the room–but luckily didn’t quite get it started.

“See Mom, I was just HELPING you by starting a new show… “

I got my beginning of the school year cold that I always get.  Every year.  And every year I hope I won’t get it.  You would think I would just accept my fate, huh?

This year it’s really sucking the life out of me… so I’m off to bed to sleep with kleenex stuffed in my nose with my NyQuill bottle perched by my bedside.  Yippie!

That’s right, folks, I’m bringing Wordless Wednesday back!

“What?! This wasn’t what you meant by ‘play with the play-doh toys’?”
