I have been trying to make my own granola bars and have had problems finding the right recipe. The problem is with the glue (usually peanut butter and honey), I guess I just didn’t have the amounts right.
On my fourth try (and 4th recipe), I finally ended up with granola bars instead of just granola. I was so excited, and they tasted so good! Jason loved them too.
Yummy!
The check is in the mail and I am so over my sadness! It was easy, really – this week was teacher appreciation week at preschool and our two year program.
Here is our class t-shirt (I was so nervous about them, but they turned out really cute):
Art Work display that the kids stood in front of to sing:
Just watching them sing would cheer anyone up!
On Tuesday, each child brought in a flower or two:
And today we got a bag full of snacks:
So my sweet little two year olds cheered me up and made me smile today – I just love them so much!
I am feeling very sad today. In fact, I cried. Why?
Because of this:
A nearly 1,300 dollar bill for one month of my medicine. Long story short, I owe this amount.
Oh well, I didn’t really need new counter tops for our kitchen anyway!
What does one do with a degree in Urban Studies and hasn’t worked in 8 years (and can’t get a job)? They go back to school!
It’s official, I am a college student again! I even have a student id!
I started at Lanier Tech this quarter and am enrolled in the Medical Assistant Program. I will finish next August. I am currently taking these two classes:
I am not used to studying and going to class is strange (although I was not the oldest in my class). Here I am studying:
Hopefully I will do well in all my classes!
The girls loved dying eggs. The dye looked great on the eggs, but not so great on our hands! Oh well, I guess that is part of the fun.
We took a nice family photo before lunch. I did not buy the girls new Easter dresses this year. I think they were getting tired of wearing matching frilly dresses! I let them pick out what they wanted to wear from the Russell Collection, and they were very happy.
GG and Grampees:
We have never been able to get a shot of all the kids looking. I think we are getting there. By next year we should have the perfect shot!
Nannie with the kids:
The girls got so messy from lunch earlier, I let them pick out outfit #2 for Nannies.
Maya and Georgia (we were dog sitting for Jason):
Now, what to do with all the candy?? I think we have more now than we did at Halloween!
I can’t believe it has been six years since this happened:
Now she is a big girl:
We had a small birthday party at our house followed by dinner out at Sun Garden (her choice).
The girls enjoyed singing Hannah Montana songs:
Claudia asked for and got her very own electric scooter! Watch out neighbors – here she comes!
Jason told Claudia he wanted her to stay 6 forever! She said “dad, I can only stay 6 for one year" - smart girl!
BK (Before Kids), Jason and I would go backpacking every Easter weekend. We have been wanting to start the tradition with the girls, but day hikes only for now!
Here are two old school hiking pictures:
On Friday, we took the girls on their first real mountain hike - 5 miles! They did really good. We had a few drama moments, but we pushed through and ended the hike with everyone in a good mood! The girls were rewarded with funnel cake in Helen. Jason and I had boiled peanuts.
