SERIOUSLY:

Johnny has been on the computer playing RoadBlox all evening.  I need to get to work on some Photoshop Elements lessons but haven’t had the extra time.  There’s so much more I don’t know about that program it’s not even funny and I haven’t worked in PSP in long enough to sort of forget some of the stuff….I passed out when I got home from work today so now I’m up at midnight – yikes…Got health screen tomorrow – fasting until 9:40am…we’ll see how that goes!!

I left work early today to go to court for Mediation.  It’s all super confidential so…

here’s hoping truth wins

She’s a big part of our work life – now lets see how she does in our home life!!

So we got home – and I’m really tired and have a terrible headache – we commenced to cleaning house for a little while.  David brought over Church’s Chicken for dinner

Johnny is now laying on the floor down by my feet playing on his Kindle Fire yelling EAT! EAT! at PacMan!  hahaha

Truly wondering if I go backward on this blog will they fall out in order on the menu or will the most recent one land first….hmmmmm

Church Bake Sale this week – means I make a total mess out of the kitchen.  I decided to make Death By Chocolate in pans instead of solo cups.  As it turned out there was enough ingredients for the boys to make a panful for themselves to eat at  home.

(these pictures were taken AFTER the church’s was done, wrapped and safely in the refrigerator – so don’t think I sold you and of these child handled ingredients)

And then Grandma took hers to church and we sold bowlfulls.

Here’s Janice promoting one of our not so home baked products:

We skip all the garnishes on top-only got heath bar bits for topping when I make it – When I can’t find enough Mousse packages OR don’t have enough money –I make instant chocolate pudding, then whip heavy whipping cream till it’s stiff then add pudding enough till it looks like the mousse

I made some of these too:

We started out Saturday searching the web for mats to use our shape blocks on. 

We printed remotely from grandma's netbook sitting on the bed. 

We found quite a few patterns.

Here are a couple of the links we used:

Curtis took the pattern blocks out in the yard and worked on the mats that we had spent the morning downloading, printing and laminating.

Meanwhile, Ethan is off in his own little world. 

He has a little wooden Titanic and he has built a sand ice berg and he continuously sinks his ship while quietly making the sounds of the music to Nearer My God to Thee.

And Johnny?
Well, he's pretty busy running over himself with some trains he found in the sand toys.

Ethan took it upon himself to pick his squash.
A little prematurely I think. 
I forgot to tell Summer
to either cook it for him or send it to his dad's for them to cook!

Toward Evening, we took our cameras and went on an Alphabet walk to Speedway. 

  

We found the whole alphabet along the way and posted it on Google+ photo albums.
