Eating Cereal

I love cereal, I always say that I could eat it for every meal. Well some of my children share my love. But it's funny how they all eat it differently. Isaiah and Micah do like cereal, but they eat it plain in a bowl, with no milk so I give them milk to drink:) Anna and Sammy do like to eat theirs with milk and as you can see Sammy likes to drink the milk out of the bowl when he is done. (Don't know where he got that from:) Tonight we had cereal for dinner and I gave the kids sunny delight to drink, Sammy decided to pour his sunny delight in his bowl before I could pour the milk in it. He did actually eat a little of it, but all the others were kind of grossed out. So we think cereal is fun and always an adventure as well.

Strawberry Picking

We went strawberry picking with some ladies in our community group and it was a lot of fun. The kids did a decent job of picking ones that were ripe, not green or rotten, except for Sammy at first but I think that probably happens with all two year old's until they are shown:) This was a good time of fellowship, but also good exercise for the kids as they did wind sprints down the rows, and a good time of teaching our children to give away so we bought some to eat and some to share with others. We were sad that they were sold out of the yummy homemade ice cream, but I guess that means we'll have to go back.

The Race of Strawberries

Another Day of Dress Up and Couch Jumping

The kids love to dress up so this day started by playing sleep over which just means they wear their pajama's and get all their stuffed animals in a designated area. But they decided to keep coming downstairs with one or two weird pieces of clothing on and Sammy just went along with it, not sure what he was doing. All of this while Isaiah was trying to do his reading homework, which he did a good job in the midst of chaos. Shortly there after he had to move as the playing turned into couch jumping. We do remind our kids that while we allow them to jump on our couch(its so old:), that not everyone does:)

Potpourri

Well life has been plugging along here so thought I would share some random things that have gone on lately in no order of importance and then share some pics! Enjoy!

We are recovering from the tornado's, still a lot of tree's down everywhere, but thankful to have our van back with new windows!!

We had a great Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ with our church family.

Sammy's adventures lately: He decided he needed to vaseline his legs, so he put a little:) more than I would have on his legs, but he was so kind to put the cap on after his adventure...As a fourth child
he loves his siblings, the older two went to spend the night with some friends and Sammy was in there alone. When I went back upstairs to go to bed, both Anna's and the boys bedroom doors were open and he was in there sleeping in Anna's bed with her, he surely doesn't like to be alone. So again just last night, Sammy had a fever and ear infection so tried to put him by himself away from the other kids in Anna's bed and moved Anna into Sammy's spot. They were all sound asleep but when I got up in the morning sure enough he got up sometime in the middle of the night and made his way back to his bed, so the bottom bunk was filled with Micah, Anna and Sammy. I wish I would have thought to take a picture but that is a little to early to be thinking camara. So needless to say he likes company!

Micah and Isaiah are finishing up school and doing really well. Isaiah will have his first official end of the year testing at the end of May, so we are looking forward to that.

They are all finishing up soccer as well, with only a couple games left, they have done really well this year.

We got a completed official copy of our homestudy in the mail this week! Yeah!! So now we are mailing our USCIS paperwork in, hopefully tomorrow. Now we can apply for grants and do some other fundraising projects that you have to have this to move forward so we are excited about that.
