The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Cake!

I so love to read this book with my kiddos!

Reading books with your kiddos is beneficial in so many ways!

Reading to your children......

Expands their vocabulary

Creates bonding and memories

Helps with thinking skills

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is my favorite childhood book, since first grade~
We have about 5 copies laying about our house!
I love all the holes in the book....such a cool idea! Saturday night and the page with the moon are two of my favorite pages!


My play date yesterday went good....I cleaned the house real quick and made a pineapple upside down cake..... delish!   So easy ....so good! My house smelt heavenly!

Have a terrific weekend!

Peace and Prayers,

More Snowy Day Pictures~

Snowy Day Fun~

I pray you are having a wonderful day~

Today schools are 2 hours late and there is no kindergarden.....so I invited one of Jackies friends over for a play date.....the mom and I are friends too. So I guess I have a playdate as well.

My house is a bit of a mess......a bit beyond the 10 second tidy. She won't be here for a few hours, so I do have some time.....but I better get off the computer and get started here in a minute!

I think I will pop a pineapple upside down cake in the oven for us to snack on later.

I can smell it cooking already......

Hot bubbley butter and brown sugar.......sweet pineapple and yellow cake....**sigh**

Well my son just came in the door and said,

"the bus driver would not let me on the bus with my hot cocoa"!!!

Go figure?

I told him she wouldn't but he asured me that was not so!

Now I'm off to clear my van of snow and drive him to school!

OH the joys of motherhood......***BIG SMILE*** sigh

Peace and Love,

::My Living Room::

A few days ago I decided to rearrage my living room. I will admit it did not take to long but I was draging my feet. I wasn't sure were to put things and in the end only moved a few things around. It does feel nice to freshen things up!
So here are the before pictures.
{remember I started moving things around before I decided to take the pic.}

                                               BEFORE PICS.

AFTER PICS

I'm liking the small change to my living room. The girls now have better access to their doll house and have been playing with it non stop since I moved it to its new spot!

Today up here in the Pacific Northwest we finally got a bit of snow last night. There is a winter storm advisory until 10am Thursday (tomorrow). We woke up to a few inches of the white stuff on the ground this morning, but the roads were clear.

So it was school and work on a normal schedule. :(

The cool air has made my Litttles that stay home with me hibernate just a bit longer than usual this morning!

{giving me time to blog}

 My kiddos are now stirring about,wanting me help them get ready to go out and play in the snow!

This is what the living room can look like when the girls are getting their shoes on! :)

Well my momma duties are calling me.

I  mean to say, I want to go love on my kiddos~

I love being a mother.......its not a duty!

My today will filled with doing many things together WITH my kiddos, not just FOR them.....

playing in the snow {and taking pictures}

 making pancakes

sipping hot cocoa and eating Girls Scout cookies

snuggling in front of the fire place and reading many stories

letting the girls take a hot bubble bath and smelling their clean blow dried hair

are just a few things I want to do with my kiddos today!

How about you?

What do you want to do with your kiddos today?

WOW the snow is really coming down.....

got to go.......the cocoa is ready!

I will post some pic's tomorrow of our snowy day!

See ya then~

Peace and Love,

Georgiann

Stuck.....

Well 2 of my kiddos went with my sister {their Auntie} and her hubby to  go snowboarding up at the local MT.

I pray they are having a fun but safe time sliding down the MT.......but with boys its hard to imagine both fun and safe at the same time! lol I'm sure my sister won't let them do anything stupid!

So while a few of my kiddos are gone with my sis and another few off playing with friends, I am going to attempt to rearrange the living room. I started stirring things around already but think I will snap a picture of the before. It will be more dramatic that way.....you know more of a mess! It should look way better in the after pic. or so I hope?

Well I guess I better quit stalling and get busy?

The way my mind seems to work is......stir stuff around for a bit......trying to get an idea of where to put what....get the creative juices flowing, then get confused and not know what to do next as I sit it a messy pile of stuff!

Do any of you do the same thing? or I'm I the only one?

OK wish me luck and say a few prayers........I am off to get to work!

Peace,

Georgiann
