The Flu Hit

This week we have been targeted by the Flu Mob. It has deftly come in and taken down three fourths of the Flowers Clan. I am all for family time but this isn't what I had in mind. I will enjoy the one-on-one time with each child and pray The Leader can get back in game fully recovered. I will also pray that I will be able to out-manouver the Flu Spy that may have me targeted next.

Going On a Big Brother Hunt ~ Gotcha!

Emily had a blast trapping her brother in the pantry this afternoon.

Fruit(ty) Salad

At the end of dinner the other evening Emily decided she would "make fruit". I said how yummy "you're making fruit salad!" (Note:I will forever associate fruit salad with the Wiggles song since having children) " No Mom, it's NOT fruit salad, it's fruit". Whatever gets you through the day, dear girl. I never knew making could fruit/fruit salad would get so crazy!

Jaime - this one's for you. ;)

School Valentine Party

Enjoying notes from classmates. It was such a joy to see all the kids' reaction to the cards. Everyone was using such good manners and thanking each other ~truly genuine. You'd have thought they'd been given the moon. I love this age. After checking out the cards they all ate the yummy ice cream sundaes they'd made.

See what happens when the closet gets cleaned out. ;)

Self Portrait (Playing with the Camera)

Emily loves to take the camera and shoot pics of anything.

It's always a surprise to see what shows up on my camera.

I liked these. That silly girl. :)

First School Award!

There's my girl! Yes, I am a proud mama. Emily received a Good Citizenship award at her school earlier this month. Due to car trouble I just missed seeing her receive it from her teacher. Nonetheless, the special moment was captured.
