Today 2 kids are already outside playing. Yes, it is only 8:30 in the morning! 1 is playing upstairs very quietly and 2 are still sleeping. Those 2 are the teens. Getting them up is not easy.
I already have vaccuming done, trash out, most beds made, cleaned up downstairs, and now I'm going to do the dishes.
Tom will be working on lapbooking today. Katie will do all her subjects. She's not into history or science yet. She does, phonics, spelling, reading, starting to write, bible, and math. Ana started out the school year wanting to learning but now she is just content with playing and listening to bible along with coloring a bible book.
Our new guinea pig, Spencer, had to go to the vet the other day. He got medicine in his ear, drops for his eyes, and a shot. Ed and Becca said he was screaming! I'm glad I wasn't there.
We started attending the Dave Ramsey: Financial Peace class. It makes so much sense. It's taking us a little while to get going on this, though.
Hope you all have a great day.

Many Pictures

This is a picture of the flower my son Eddie and his girlfriend Amy gave me for Christmas. It was just the bulb with a stem. When it bloomed, it was beautiful.This was our first guinea pig that passed away after about 2/3 weeks. His name was Mazzeo.This is Katie and Ana and our new guinea pig, Spencer Reid. He loves to cuddle up by your neck.Ana watching Buddy eating a stick.

Icicles off the porch roof.

Ana wanted me to take a picture of her praying.To me, this picture looks like heads bowed down...freaky.

The girls with their friend. HOLD ON TIGHT!!

Peanut Butter Cups. Yum! Of Course they were eaten very fast.

So Much Snow!

We have so much snow....at least 2 feet? I've taken alot of pictures around town. I'm thinking of going out tonight when the girls go to bed. The snow is so beautiful. When I went out this morning, it was so peaceful. What a feeling. Calmness all around.
I don't know if I had mentioned we had gotten a guinea pig. Well, he died yesterday. Ed took Becca to get another one and the woman at the store told them things that the other store didn't. "Mazzeo" needed vitamin C and alfalfa/hay to eat. He may have died of digestive issues or pneumonia (sp?). The new gp is "Spencer Reed" (Yes, from the Criminal Minds tv show!)
I'm going to get the girls to bed and hopefully get outside again!
