Eleven is a great age!!!

 

 

 

Yep I am now the proud mom of an eleven year old boy. On January the 29th Greg entered a new year of his life. He such a great guy and we love having him around. he entertains us with his sport playing, is always a friend to everyone, is constantly trying to learn new things like playing the guitar, hacky sack, stunts on his bike and many more, really too many to number. He also is a hard working kid at school and loves to read and draw. He completed all his stars for cubs. we are very proud of all his acomplishments and that we get to watch him grow in to a great young man. On his birthday he had his best friend sleep over and they watched movies all night. The rest of the kids had a sleep over in our bed and when James and I came to bed this is what we found....how anyone can sleep with feet in faces people laying ontop of you and blankets and pillows all over ther place is crazy but I laughed so hard I just had to take a picture so I could remeber this moment.

There is love all around when there's crafts at home.

 

 

 

Although I do not have a romantic husband Valentines is one of my favorite holidays and here are all the new finished crafts that I made to adorn my house for this special day. Maybe now that my house looks the part my hubby might find a reason to make me feel wooed. We took the kids out for a special Valentines dinner on Thursday before all the romantic couples are out so that my boys know how important this day is. Also for their lunches on Monday I made up Oreo cookies dipped in pink chocolate and sprinkled with hearts for them to take.

Spinach Pizza

 

 

Starting in January i decided to it was time to start watching what I eat. Lots of times when I get my injection I am out for days feeling sick to the point where I spend a lot of time in bed. So I have this great book called the four hundred calorie fix. You eat three four hundred calorie meals a day and it helps loss weight but it also get you to eat healthy meals. So this pass week here is a sample of my meal I got half of a naan bread pizza\ with spinach and veggies and 1 oz of grated cheese on top. If you love spinach like I do you would love this meal.....alas my children do not so I had to make them cheese and meat pizza but James and I loved our new pizza topping.

Valentine craft

 

 

 

For Valentine's this year Janelle wanted to do something a little bit different. We made crayon hearts for all her little friends in kindergarten. We took all the paper off the crayon, I cut them up into tiny pieces and then we filled the heart molds and put them in the microwave for two minutes at a time, until the crayon was mostly melted. We then popped them outside to harden up and then took them out of the mold. I think they turned out pretty cute and it help Janelle and I find something to do for a afternoon.

Greg my little sports man

 

 

Greg started up basketball in January with the school team. It has been a joy to watch him grow and develop his skills. He is not as tall as many of the players but what he lacks in height he has in spirit and drive to be the best that he can be on court.
