Haunted Maze.....

For those who can't see Carli's blog page......there's a really fun sounding Haunted Corn Maze in St. George. It's only haunted after a certain time in the night, if you don't think your little ones will like it scary. But I checked out the site and they have slides, mini mazes, cow rides, and about 8 other fun attractions to enjoy. Not too pricey and you can print out coupons.

It's Potty Time!.....

So I'm down to the last child for potty training!!! I bought a video for Trevor when he was learning, now Taylor is watching it. I just wonder what people think when they hear them in the stores singing.............

Do Not Try This At Home......

I bought a cool kite about a year ago, clearanced for $3. Thought it would be fun to do with the kids. Haven't used it 'til today. Good breeze outside, just the 2 little ones at home, and Trevor pulled it out, it's hard to say no to him.

So I put it together, it's got three kites together on one and fancy plastic strings to flap in the wind and look pretty.

Fancy plastic strings...........NOT SO PRETTY!!

This took 30 minutes during setup to untangle, and another 10 minutes after flying attempts outside. (only 10 minutes because I finally cut them off!!!)

The few times I actually got it in the air, the string would rub EXTREMELY fast against my fingers, right in the crease. Notice the white, it is smooth and shiny and painful.

I was clean when we started. Now look at my "MAN HANDS"

An hour and a half later, I was done. Taylor and Trevor were just running in the street, the kite went nowhere, and I was a mess!!!

Adventures in Personal Progressland.....

In YW this year, we've focused really hard on Personal Progress. We made a Candyland poster board, and die cut figures with the girls face on them. We move them on the board when they accomplish something. It's been great, the girls are actually doing it now!

Last night was our Young Women's in Excellence, so we themed it after the board. It was fun. A cute way to display the projects, and an interactive skit.

Love the gumdrops!

Gingerbread Land!

Dessert!

"Nobody Knows the 'Truffles' I've Seen"

My friend gave me a cute plate for my B-day a few years ago. I loved it! So I immediately put it up on the wall in my kitchen. As I proceeded to do this, something happened. The other plates on the hanger fell forward. I went to catch them, lost my grip on this plate, and it fell forward. It crash landed on my head, which hurt quite a lot, and then to the floor. (Notice the chips on the left side corners, and the crack down the middle. I found it all too ironic that this would happend to this particular plate. So I glued the pieces back together and it is back on my wall.

Now I've decided I don't want other plates on the hanger, but "fitting" pictures instead. This will be the 1st one........

Saturday, our little Taylor Mae, decided she needed protection from the sun. She found the sunblock and applied generously.......to herself.......and the couch(which you can't see, it's under her) We weren't even going to be outside.

I was curious....

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Ok, It just depends on who I'm with.
