Dinner and a Movie

We've been trying to have one friday a month dinner and a movie night.Last night we were absent the Manly Grandpa (scout campout) and Britton (spending time with family).Here's the girls making pizza.They had fun making them more than eating them.
These girls are SO good at being crazy!


We made butterflies, here's Abby's beautiful one.

I was so surprised Lance wanted to make one! He's usually way to busy.But , he took it very seriously and picked out his own buttons(I thought the cutest ones!) and glued every single one on.



Lance found Jims little measuring tape and that was way more fun than eating.





Arn't they cute!
Since Lance hadn't seen the goats yet(shame!) we went out with our flashlight and fed and petted them....it was freezing! The kids were getting cold so we took alittle walk around the yard . They commented that Grandma Cozy's light was on so I said, "Let's go scare her", (sorry mom) and they thought that was a great idea! But, she didn't have her hearing aid in so we had to pound pretty hard to even get her attention. She smiled and waved.
We watched a fun little movie I got from the library that showed how to make fairy houses out side by alittle girl. It was really sweet and it gave the girls some ideas for when the weather gets better. (Lia and Sarah your girls would love it). It was kinda funny......Rachel and Mike showed up at 8:45 to pick up kids and I asked them what they were doing here that we had them til 10.They looked at each other and smiled and said good-by. I figured they must have been having fun...good for them!

    You are such a nice Grandma. You're setting the bar pretty high for us some day! Our kids are going to have major expectations.
    I sure like your sidebar with the pictures. How did you do that?
    And thanks for letting us invade. I hate to take a break at your expense, but I sure appreciate it. :)

new babies at the starfish house

This morning, Amanda de Lange and a handful of volunteers, went to what we call the “Big O” in Xi’An China (otherwise known as the main orphanage) to see if there were any babies she could take back to her foster home. You see, Amanda doesn’t go looking for the cutest, healthiest babies they have. She goes with eyes and heart open to find the sickest, neediest babies in the orphanage. The babies who are not likely to receive the kind of necessary attention they need just to survive their first few months. Out of all of China’s unwanted ones, she seeks out those who need her the most. That’s why I love this picture so much. This morning, these babies were just seven of many at the orphanage, but not anymore. From here on out these babies will receive round the clock love and attention, nutrition, medical care and almost rock-star like status among Amanda’s fans and supporters all around the world. Once they have been nursed back to health, Amanda does what the orphanage often does...

This is the view from our front porch on a cold, snowy day. Lucky us we moved back in time for the coldest, snowiest winter in decades! It is beautiful but, after a month of it, it's starting to get alittle old. We are blessed to have the nicest neighbor ever. He has regularly plowed our drive after each snowfall, I don't know  what we would have done without him, and thank-you never seems like enough. Any ideas? This week the schools were all closed, it'll be late release this year. Of course we've found plenty to do inside. This has been Jim's first full week home in months and he's enjoying it to the fullest. The garage is looking great and things are being organized. I feel no compulsion to ever finish unpacking,  my cabinets and closets are full so the rest can stay in the boxes. After fighting for a month to keep the goats water filled and unfrozen, we found out about these heated buckets and rushed out to buy one. What a relie...

It's been awhile since I'v had a productive week, a long while, and it's felt so good. The front yard is now raked, tree and bushes trimmed, mowed and mess cleaned up. It's alittle late in the season but, I went and bought some flowers. My first this year. Baby quilt finally finished! It's got a place for her sweet head to stay warm. I saw this somewhere? It's been a lovely week, I feel refreshed.
