My daughter drawing pictures in the snow.  I gave her some squirt bottles with colored water in them.  Both the big kids had fun coloring the snow!

I love seeing the untouched snow and being able to see the snowflakes falling.  I actually tried taking a picture of our street going both ways, but couldn't get a good photo since it was nighttime.  It was just awesome to see the untouched snow all around...such a quiet and serene feeling!

The cold water selection on the washer.  I try to use it every so often to help conserve the warm water.

Photography...YAY!!

1-20-11
This is by far my most favorite hobby!  I have wanted to take some classes, but life happens so I haven't had the chance to yet.  I hope I'll be able to get there soon.  In the meantime, I love practicing.  With so many children around I have lots of opportunities! :-)

Scrapbooking.....a real hobby!

1-19-11
Ok, finally a real hobby! lol  I used to love scrapbooking when I first started years ago.  This of course was pre-twins! :-)  I would love to get back to it someday.  I hope it will be soon!

Homeschooling

1-18-11
Homeschooling my children these past 4 years have been rewarding, demanding, fun, exciting, stressful, etc, etc.  I love relearning alot of the things that I learned years ago but forgot.  I also love seeing the "light bulb" come on when my children actually "get it"!  I wish them many years of success!

Clean house....or at least living room! :-)

1-16-11
I strive very hard to maintain a clean home.  Not really a hobby, but a necessity.  It is what I do though.  With a family of 7 living here it's a big job!

Laundry....hobby or not! :-)

1-15-11
Being that there is so much laundry that always has to be washed around here I feel like it is one of my hobbies.  Not the most glamourous or fun but it is a necessity to have clean clothes!

Cornbread

No rhyme or reason for this one.  We had cornbread muffins with beef stew tonight.  Just my little way of documenting it and keeping up with the theme! lol

Our Multiplication Table

Today's photo is not very creative.  Honestly I was searching the house for any 100's I could photograph just so I wouldn't miss another day. lol  However, this is on the multiplication table that is frequently used!

100's of dirty clothes!

This is only part of my pile of dirty laundry I have been working on today!  I felt it fitting to make the number 100 out of the dirty clothes I have to wash, since this is about all I have been doing today! lol

100 cents

100 cents is what I pay for my favorite magnetic list pads! lol  If it wasn't for my lists, and the fact that I can put them on the fridge, they and myself would be lost! lol

A NEW Movie

This is a NEW movie we just got today.  It is hilarious...I love Steve Carell!  I would definitely recommend it, whether you have children or not.

My babies favorite NEW toy

This is my baby Zachery.  One of his christmas gifts was a toy vacuum.  He absolutely LOVES this vacuum!!  It has a button to play music (which he usually plays) or when the music is not on it makes the vacuum sound when you "vacuum".  He pushes this all over the house and gets upset if one of his brothers takes it away! lol  As of now, this is his favorite NEW toy!!

NEW Year's Resolution


Like most people at the beginning of a New Year I have made a few resolutions.  There are numerous things that I could improve about myself or things I would like to accomplish this year.  One resolution I have made is to drink more water.  While I worked it used to be easier to pay attention to how much water I drank each day, not to mention actually accomplising that goal.  Since I have stayed home, the last almost 7 years now, if it's not one thing or someone that needs attention, then it's another.  :-)  A constant whirlwind almost every single day!  I would like to try and focus my attention on myself more often.  The keyword here is TRY! lol 

A New Year...New Month


My very first picture for my project.  It's the beginning of a new year as well as a new month, along with a new calendar.  My ritual is that every month I sit down and write out our schedule....kids activities, any appointments I know of ahead of time, scheduling daycare, etc, etc, so I felt it appropriate to take a picture of my calendar.  Pretty simple!
