Not Me Monday: Giving the Dog Water
I still have plenty of moments in our files of pictures to share for Not Me Monday! It is a fun time to show what I would never, ever do (or let me kids do) being the stellar super mom that I am.
One of our favorite things in our Georgia house was the water dispenser on the fridge. It was nice that the kiddos could get a fresh glass of filtered water whenever they needed it.
Even James at the age of 2 could easily reach the dispenser
And if he wasn't particularly thirsty, he could usually find someone who was. Lucky dog.

Grandma Transue and the Grandkids
Grandma Transue loves to get pictures taken with her precious grandchildren. Aren't they so cute? Such angelic creatures. 
Unfortunately, the more common grandchildren pictures rarely get published. . . but they do display their personalities rather well.

Getting Ready for Auntie Beth
As we were getting ready for Auntie Beth to visit (last month) the kids realized that they could all fit in the downstairs shower . . .and speaking of which, there are other places that James and Megan like to hide

We went to Louisville
While Auntie Beth was visiting we went to Louisville . . .can you guess where we went by the pictures?
There was a carousel . . .
And inflatable jumpie things . . .
And a playground (wher eother moms were getting nervous with the 2yo's playground skills) . . .
Have you guessed yet? Well here ya go with a better clue, around the playground was a baseball diamond
Yep, it was a baseball game! ( A far cry from our AAA Rochester Red Wings at the now retired Silver Stadium) There were also fancy concession stands, shaved ice carts, and we had a great time watching the Louisville Bats. The stadium is incredibly close to the famous Louisville Bat Factory, which we will tour at some point. We did actually watch about 1 inning of the game before taking advantage of all of the diversionary activities. It was also military appreciation night, so that is why the inflatables were there. Thanks for a great night Bats!

July 4th
Our Fourth of July was full of . . . .
Little Girls with lots of ponytails
Little boys looking cute
Brothers and sisters hanging out on a train ride
Little girls playing in the driveway
And lots of love!
That "lots of love", was actually me about to fall on James.-Laura

Eagles Spirit
My husband is a Washington Redskins fan. Since his parents are Philadelphia Eagles fans, we have had a few Eagles items in our house from time to time. This shirt is actually a handmedown from Laura to Jack, and now to James. James bumped it up a notch though, don't ya think?
Fortunately it washes off pretty well . . .

Bye Bye, See You Soon!
Last Friday night John took the two older kids to see Toy Story 3. James, Megan, and I watched them leave. I got the opportunity to record James and his famous "Bye Bye, see you soon!" This is his common parting ritual. Too cute!

Summer Haircut
I shaved the spikes.He still looks cute, and he seems to like his hair.
At least he will be cooler this summer.
Perhaps the spikes will return in the fall.

Review: Potluck Survival Guide
This is a product review for Mama Buzz reviewers. The cookbook Potluck Survival Guide by Cherie Kimmons was provided for me free of charge to review.
Another Cookbook. I know what you are thinking . . .but this is a cookbook that I am actually super excited about. I will tell you why. It has recipes that you can use. Recipes that you will use. That is if you have a family that is as picky as mine. Or if you occassionally are called upon to provide a meal/appetizer/dessert/side dish for a church/school/bake sale/family in need/potluck event. The recipes in this book will get people to tell you they "need the recipe" for that great dish you brought to the function.
Sound like you? It sure sounds like me! Usually I'll flip through a cookbook, frustrated to find only one or two meals that I could present to my family without being laughed at. This one has many recipes that my picky family will eat. Normal recipes, yet yummy!
From cover to cover this book is full of information. Instructions on boiling a chicken, reflections on Meatloaf, and handy tips and serving suggestions in the margines of the recipes make this a book that will not sit on your shelf. The book includes pages of wisdom from obviously experienced sources on how to coordinate that "big event" from decorating to calculating just how much bacon to fry up for that Men's breakfast with 25 guests.
Here my kitchen friendly 6yo Jack is helping mommy break in the cookbook:
Isn't he just adorable . . .I am training him well in the kitchen . . .he'll be a hot commodity in about 15 years.
We chose to make the Cow Pattie Cookies (a favorite from my childhood), also known as "no bake cookies."
The cookbook lays flat (even though my counter wasn't, it has gift bags on it) but the cookbook still stayed open for me.
The hardest part was keeping the toddler away from them while they cooled. A mistake by me to cool them on the kitchen table, you'd think I haven't made cookies before
with children around.
I took a little holiday creative license and sprinkled some to see if these would make a good gift giving treat . . .they do!
Here is the info on how to get a copy, get some as gifts, but make sure you order one for yourself!
Price: $18.96, regularly $24.95

The Homeschool Christmas Party
What you need for a homeschool Christmas party:
Gather all your friends together.
Have That Family with all the kids put on a super cute skit of the events surrounding the birth of our Savior.
Try, try, and try again to get a picture of all the kids together:
Settle for individual pictures of the children in a more natural setting for them:
