2 new baby chicks

These are 9 days old. Very cute and VERY NOISY, these two don't sleep much at all.

Check out this Monthly Menu Plan file

I love this website http://heartofwisdom.com/, I do not use the homeschool materials on the site, but there is a wealth of info and free printable items on the site.
http://heartofwisdom.com/images/monthlymenuplan.pdf This menus planner is great, she has some that are filled out too. I like the blank one, I laminated it and fill it out. Planning menus really helps with the food budget.
How do you plan your meals?
Have a great week!

Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping Retreat

I will post some pics this week of all the fun stuff I made.

We had yummy food as usual! Friday night was pork roast, bake potato, salad and very cute cupcakes, here is a picture of the cupcakes. Well guess there is no way to flip this picture? lol. Please note that I am really new to blogging, this picture is saved right side up, but it's on here sideways?

Our theme was “What’s the buzz!” – Psalms 46:10. So the cupcakes have beehives on them along with buzzing bees. They were YUMMY!

For breakfast we had eggs, bacon, homemade cinnamon rolls and fruit. For lunch there were different kinds of lasagna, garlic bread, salad and dessert.

Had a fun time!

Cold Chicken

We had a little late night emergency, 'cold chicken'  lol.

Love the little Silver Laced Wyandotte (the black one) with it's behind sticking out.......lol, I think he is saying "Let me in under there!" And then the little brown Golden Comet peeking out from under the "Xtra Crispy" the momma hen. Poor Xtra Crispy had her wings spread out and was trying to keep 13 baby chicks warm under her. Needless to say, everyone is awake at our house now and the chickens are moved back inside.

~I'm gearing up to leave for a Scrap/Stamp Retreat~

Whatever shall I bring?

What are your thoughts on packing for a crop?

I'm bringing my Cricut Carts and mat, a friend is bring her Baby Bug to share.

I know I will bring way too much stuff! lol

I plan on making cards this year and playing with a friends embossing thingy that looks like a cute purse. I want to make some of these cute cupcake cards. I'm not real fond of the colors that they used, but the cupcake is really cool!

Thinking that I will get so much done, I will chat for the 2 days and then drag all my stuff back home with me. hahaha. But I shall have loads of fun with my 2x per year scrappin' n stampin' buddies.

Life Skills Day in the homeschool

I really like this article. Sometimes I think The house is so trashed what on earth will I do?"
Now I won't feel guilty working on the house as part of the school day.
How do you handle the messiness of life when it comes?

Life Skills Day here we come!

And they GROW & GROW & GROW!! lol

The top one is Rhoady he is a Rhode Island Red~thinking he is a rooster?

Freddy looks like a rooster too with his large comb.

This is Chicken McNugget~we are thinking hen here?

These big ones are about 8 1/2 weeks old.

The little ones are still growing, but not much of a change in them as of yet, but they are still cute!

Busy week ahead!

I am getting ready for a scrapbooking retreat with some friends. We will spend a few days eating junk and scrapbooking! Can't wait.
The prep work is about to kill me though. Getting everything ready and packed is a bummer! Not sure what to take. Ya know how it goes, you always pack WAY too much for fear of forgetting something.
Have a wonderful week and remember whatever your week brings "Praise The Lord Anyhow." This was a favorite saying of my late friend Beth, she went to be with her Lord & Savior last month after battling Pancreatic Cancer.
