Part of a big family

We had German pancakes for breakfast. We were about out of syrup. while at Costco, taneal texted me this message:

"This morning I had to scrape the syrup off of other peoples plates because there was none"

She wanted to remind me to buy more syrup.

Just made me laugh. Who does that? Couldn't believe she would actually scrape syrup off someone else's plate and eat it. Yuck! She must be used to having lots of siblings!

Gingerbread Houses

It is that time of year again. My children LOVE to decorate gingerbread houses, and since it has become one of our traditions over the last few year, it was fun to do it again this year. We invited my sister, Bonnie, and her husband over along with another family that we go to church with.

This year I made two houses for my family. We divided into teams and it was really a whole lot of fun to see Camie, Danielle, and Spencer all work together. They were totally a team, went right at it, not squabbling of any kind at all. They each just took a part and went at it and had fun.

Seeing as how I am having a hard time even getting a post up to my blog, I am not going to go into any fancy elaboration, I am just going to get this out there. Wish I had more time to tell the story, but lets let the pictures do it in this post.

Halloween decoration

I finally finished my Halloween decoration so I could put it away in the attic. I stamped the kids feet on heavy poster foam board and hung it with ribbon. Although the paint made some of the kids feet slippery and slide making them look like they have humongous feet, I still love it!
