A Huge Blessing!

We were blessed with a whole lot of clothes that we had two huge piles. One for lights and one for darks.


Legs and Chubbles took the time between loads of laundry to enjoy a few rolls down the "mountains" of clothes.


After 15 loads of laundry


After 28 loads of laundry.


All packed away by size and season. There was a whole bunch of 3s, 4s & 5s so Chubbles will have enough for a few years to come. Now I just need to label each tub and get them to storage.

More Field Trips (Jan. 25-31)

We started off Monday with a tour to Circle Cinema in Tulsa. Cheryl with Tulsa Area Home Schoolers arranged this tour.


We finished off the Circle Cinema tour with a yummy lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse. They have a special on Mondays that I got two of the kids meals free since I had bought an adult meal.


On Tuesday, Legs and I went with other families from Heritage Coop to tour the PSO plant in Oolagah. We had to wear safety glasses and ear plugs. Legs and I were pretty nervous when we had to go out on a catwalk five stories high.






One of Chubbles' favorite activities we do each week is going to the Skiatook Library to join Ms. Shelly for storytime. This week was Ms. Shelly's birthday so the kids and I surprised her with a song and homemade brownies.


The babies on the bus go "wah, wah, wah".


Waiting for the next song so she can wiggle along with all her friends.


And then onto the activity that Chubbles waits patiently for every week. "The Teddy Bear" song.


The end of January brought us a blizzard and very cold temps. JB got our pellet stove working which made a difference.


When snow storms keep us in the house, my kids gets to watch a lot more movies and they get creative in how they relax to watch said movies.


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Our friend Vince brought us a sled over as a surprise for the kids. Chubbles hopped right on and went for a ride.

Jan. 18-24

Nothing out of the ordinary happened this week but Legs and I got to see a live puppet production of The Hobbit while the three littles got to play at a sweet friend's house.

We got one day of nice weather since Christmas so the kids finally got to try out their gifts from Santa. Chubbles was there but fell asleep so she took her nap in the van.





We also got to visit a local traveling exhibit called My House, Your House.










Little Man had his last basketball game of the season.


Legs had a meet on Sunday morning.


Over the busy weekend, Jordan created some special projects with Legos.

Back To Normal

This week (Jan. 11-17) consisted of gymnastics and basketball practice as well as a dance class, church dinner and classes. We also fitted in Lego Club, a tour of A&W/LJS, IMom, and storytime. Legs got to participate in a self-defense class and Little Man had a basketball game.

Lil Man's creation.


A family brought this amazing motorized carousel into Lego Club. It got Little Man's attention quickly and he studied it for a long time.


Our tour of A&W/Long John Silver's with Tulsa Area Home Schoolers.
