When the girls are gone, the boys will play!!!

   It's Saturday, and my two girls went to Evansville with their friends, Ginder and Ginder's daughter for some girl time.  I know Kendra had some gift certificates to use and it was like money just burning a hole in her pocket.  About early afternoon, I received a pic of what the girls were doing and it was obvious they were having fun.

Two Hot Chickie's!!!



   Meanwhile on the home front, my young men are causing damage on their own.  First of all, they have been playing in their awesome sized tent(it took up a quarter of the room).  They have played everything from Perry the Platypus to ghost hunting in that tent.

Yes, my youngest does not have a shirt on.  It doesn't matter that it is 20 degree outside and the house is set at 68 degrees, he kept saying he is hot and it has been off all day.  At one point both boys had their shirts off.  Also while in the tent; they built a tower.  Colin had to get a picture of it and Caden had to pose for it.

Right after lunch,  the boys put on a puppet show for me.  They made their own puppets and created their own script.  It was full of song and suspense.  Just sorry Mom and Kendra missed the premiere.  Maybe they will catch it later on DVD.









Well between playing with the boys and tiding the house; I did take time to blog.  I also showed the boys some of the Superbowl commercials on YouTube.  They like the M&M commercial and Doritos commercials.  We had to go back a few years to see the Darth Vader kid commercial again.  It's amazing what commercials kids will remember. 

Until next time, ROCK ON!!!

Break out the Guitars

Recent events in the area has reminded me of my guitar lessons back in grade school.  I have played my guitar a few times in the past several years, but playing has always been on the back burner.  A few years back my brother, brother-in-law, and I got together and played around but I mainly played Bass guitar.  Well this week I got my guitar out and started to play again.  It's like riding a bike.  I doubt I will start a band but I can always make as much noise.  I got online and started looking for song chords.  The kids showed some interest so I showed them a few chords and told them they have to practice, practice, and practice.  Who knows in a month maybe I will have a partner or two to play with?  Hopfully I can keep my interest going.
Keep the Beat!

Colin makes it look easy!

Busy weekend

Just what I like in a weekend: Busy.  Had plenty of boring stuff to do like laundry, dishes, and cleaning house; but still had time for fun.  Saturday we were able to go to the St. Joe skating party and burn up some energy that I don't ever seem to have enough of.  Caden ended up winning limbo and everyone had plenty of pizza to eat.  After the party the 2 boys went to their friends' houses.  Kendra wanted so much go to or have a friend come over.  I ended up being her "girl" friend for the afternoon.  We played "Pass the Pig" and "Monopoly".  I was impressed with how she played Monopoly.  She tried hard to not go bankrupt and beat me.  Let's just say neither of us lost.  An excellent supper of turkey and mashed potatoes were served later; and Dorn's showed up to drop off Caden.  They stayed and ate with us; and visited for a while.
  Sunday we went to church.  Kendra and Colin had to serve and once again they did a good job.  Got home did some more boring stuff.  Made lunch from leftovers and laid down with Caden for a little while.  At 3, the two older kids went with me to my volleyball game.  They said I tend to fall alot and are glad that I wear knee pads(so do I).  Five games later and a lost match we headed home.  Later that night, we watched the Super Bowl halftime show and the second half of the game.  All the good commercials must have been played during the first half and the halftime show wasn't up to my expectation for a Madonna show.  Not much of a football fan so I assume the best team won?!?
  Once again I say it was a busy weekend; but I think "busy" is turning into "normal".  If kids are the main reason for "busy" I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

Keep up with the Beat!!!
