I decided to have a blogger blog instead of word press.  Hopefully I’ll post more often!  So here is a link to my new blog!  Can’t wait to see you all there!

Have a lovely day!

Crick-ettes!

Our friends the Bandys just went to the Creation Museum and they came back bearing gifts for some of the families at church.  Our gift bag contained (among other things) two boxes of Crick-ettes!

Yes, they are real, whole, crickets that are dried and flavored that you're supposed to eat.

And I did eat them.  Three of them.   They’re really not that bad! (Once you take the legs off that is.  I just couldn’t bring myself to eat them with their legs on!  )

This one is sour cream and onion flavored, kinda tasteless.

This is a salt and vinegar flavored one. Pretty good, actually! They're kinda like peanuts.

I bet we were quite a sight, a bunch of girls (namely: Mary Beth Auer, Elita Candler, Natalie Blick, Ruth Bandy, Grace McDonald, Naomi Bandy, Cara Niesen, and myself.) just sitting there eating crickets!  Although some of the girls cheated (horrors!) by either swallowing them like a pill or chewing them once and spitting it back out!  Sigh.  Whatever are we to do with them?!

I hope you have a lovely day!  (And I hope I didn’t gross you out!)

Eastery Treats

Lily made some fun Eastery treats today and I thought they were just so fun I had to post them!

For supper this evening Lily made Easter Egg Pizza!

Isn’t it fun?  It tasted really good too!   And then she also made Easter Egg Bread for Easter lunch at my Aunt and Uncle’s house.

I think it looks so cute and Eastery! ♥

The bread is sweet and cinnamony and the eggs are hard-boiled.  I can’t wait to try it!  We dyed the eggs at my grandma’s house with her and a cousin.  I love dying eggs!

Have a blessed Easter!

My New Playmobil Horses! ☺

My dear friend Cara Niesen decided I didn’t have enough nice Playmobil horses (I have lots of skinny/pictograph ones with Indian war paint on them!) so, being the sweetie that she is, she demanded I take four home!

My original "nice" horses.

My new horses. Aren't they cute?

Here they are all together! ♥

God has blessed me with such a good friend!

I hope you have a lovely day!!

Happy Day After Valentine’s Day!

And yes, I know it’s a rather blurry, cheesy picture, but it was late and I thought it needed something valentiny.

By the way, mumy was sharpening pencils and look what she shaved off!

Isn't it funny?

Have a lovely day!

We were all sitting there so peacefully…

…and then the cats started fighting.

Aren’t they silly?!  The little sweeties!

Here's the boys all tuckered out after their tussle. (Or at least Bingley is pretending to be, Knightley still looks a little wary! )

I’m so glad God has blessed me with such sweet kitties!  I hope you have a lovely day!

One knows when one is not singing in the most melodious manner, when one’s cat stops purring and starts meowing.

Look who came back!

                                                                

Why, Mr. Knightley of course!

After at least 2 weeks of being missing (and us thinking he was dead), he’s back!!:-)  Now I don’t have to worry about having a sad cat all winter long or getting kittens and all the stress that comes with that!  God is soo good to me!!  More than I deserve, I can tell ya!

Eeeww!

I’ve been having a problem with these :

Aren't they gross?

This big guy is evedently debating whether or not he should have a swim with his friends.

I think the two beatles are rather afraid of drowning, as they're clinging to each other for dear life.

They keep getting into the water dish and creeping me out!!  Dose anyone have any hot ideas on how to keep them away?

Thanks!☺
