Hungry Ants Come Marching In!

By

We have a little ant problem in the kitchen. We have sprayed and put out traps. The ants seem to disappear only to reappear a few weeks later. As I started sweeping them up after breakfast this morning, this song came into my head. I have changed some words to fit our situation. Please feel free to sing along. The Ants Come Marching In The ants Continue Reading

Veteran's Day Lunch for Kids

In honor of Veteran's Day on Thursday JDaniel had an American flag lunch. I guess it should be called a silicone tray lunch this week rather than a muffin tin. The tray contained a breadstick cut into fourths, the tops, and bottoms of meatballs (The centerpieces were removed and used in my lunch.), daps of tomato sauce for dipping, and apple Continue Reading

Getting Out The Vote!

Trick or Treating Pictures

  We went trick or treating with our next-door neighbors. JDaniel wore a Dalmatian costume his Aunt Kate sent him for Halloween. Nathan, the little boy next door, was a police officer.

Mandate for Change- Pacies Will They Go or Stay

JDaniel has a major problem with his pacie collection. There are four pacies in the collection that lives in his crib. These particular pacies have been in the crib for over a year.

There were vegetable cream cheese and turkey sandwiches, Continue Reading
