The puzzle

This is the puzzle we worked on. Sorry, it was hard to get a picture of, and I kept getting a glare on it. 750 pieces, and the kids loved working on it. We hadn't done one in years. Did you try the link below with the picture of the puzzle there? I've had some fun with that. Lots of different ones, and you can choose the amount of pieces & shapes of them too.

Views from our weekend

I honestly think these are the best I've ever made! (See HERE)

Getting ready for our painting project at spring break time.

750 pieces. This puzzle was alot of fun! The first puzzle we've put together for years.
Oh! Brother!! They love to pick on Relyssa!

But it's o.k....she's got Mark to protect her. Yup, it was one of *the* weekends again :D

My sentiments exactly!

"How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December is here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?"

My mom found this, and posted it on her facebook. How true.

Now, mind you as much as I dislike winter, and the long days of Jan. & Feb; as much as I am and looking forward to spring; and happy to see the end of Feb I have to agree with the above.
Now, my whine for the day is "I HATE daylight savings time" and I was reminded it's only a week till it change. NOOOOOoooooooo!

going, going...and soon gone!

My thoughts exactly, Thanks Anita!

This is a little more elaborate than just a picture, but since I've been wanting to post it, and I also wanted to do something fun in honor of my very original, zany, fun nephew, for his birthday this month, I'm again stretching the "rules".
Here you go Nathan, this one's for you:

N: What do your kids think of your blog?

M: Umm....I think they like it for the most part.

N: Do you think that your blog contributes to their bad grades?

M: NO! I think THEY contribute to their bad grades!

N: OK, moving on...How many people read your blog?

M: I don't actually know. I have a counter thing but it doesn't tell you exactly.

N: Have you ever had someone from Africa? Just curious.

M: I don't know. But there have been some people from other countries.

N:How many people in your family read your blog?

M: All of them... of course!
N: So... Your whole family... sitting around reading YOUR blog... Aren't you embarrassed?

M:Ha! I try not to think about the embarrassing parts!
N: Well frankly...... I just wanted to say frankly!
M: Actually it is probably a good thing SOME people don't read my blog!

Raimie: Like my Mom... she can always find my typos!
