Burger King AGAIN?!?!?!?

After my shower today Red says, "Mom you smell really good."  Feeling a bit smug and even proud of myself because I thought I smelt good and felt even better because I had taken the time to shave my legs I said, "Thank you.  What do I smell like?"
"Burger King and fresh water.", was her reply.  Really??? Burger King and fresh water?  How does that happen?  Guess we know what is on the minds of my little kiddies.

School Days

Red headed back to school today. She was so excited to walk to school with Blue and Yellow.  I can't believe that my little  girl is in pre-school.  

As you can see getting up early doesn't agree with all of us.  (Just glad I wasn't in the picture.)

Free time?!?!?!

So I now have three kiddies going to school.  Tomorrow is Red's first day.  What am I going to do with myself?  Well, I have SEVERAL projects going that include;
Painting the basement TV room, so my man can have a Boston Red Sox "man cave", finding a long lost relative and figuring out what Indian  tribe I am descended from, (I'm an Indian Outlaw, 1/2 Cherokee and Choctaw) making a hat for EVERY person in the world that may need one, finding recipes that will put a dent in the pile of zucchini and squash I have, working on losing weight instead of putting on my winter weight,etc . . .  
I am sure you all have your projects too.  Best of luck with them.  If I even use1/2 of the yarn I have this winter I will have accomplished quite a lot!

The green laundry basket is full of yarn, as is the rubber maid tub and I have another one that isn't in the picture.  The pile of hats is not even half of what I have made.  Gotta make sure that peoples heads are covered this winter.  (I hope the church donates them to people and not the dump.) 

What was in your nose???

Today Brown told her dad that she had a "Burger King" in her nose.  I guess it's time to help her understand the difference between burger and booger.

Running . . .

So, the other day I get the BRILLIANT idea to run 1mile EVERY TIME I yell at my kids. 
Day 1: 5 miles
Day 2: 2 miles
Day 3: 2 miles
Day 4: 4 miles
Can I say it hasn't helped much?  I told my mom I would either be VERY kind or SKINNY.  Looks like I might be skinny.  (Or Not)  Today I get to run 5 miles.  I am not looking forward to it.  Hopefully skinny AND kind come soon because I am tired!!!

Dolly Wadsworth

They say children are hitting puberty at earlier ages these days.  I agree. 

Red came into show me her latest additions last night.  I think I should get the number of her Dr.

The other day Blue and Red got into a tiff.  Green made them stand on the stairs hugging, but when they saw the camera they wouldn't touch each other.  Notice the stuffed animals in the background along with Brown.  Yellow lined them all up to enjoy the show that the kids were putting on. 

Camp CRAZY!!!

Well folks, I am officially done camping for the summer.  We have been camping in Idaho, Utah, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.  Boy am I tired.  I think some of our clothes have been washed so many times that we are going to have to use them as rags.  Our first trip was for my siblings and parents family reunion, then we had the Wadsworth family reunion, then my dad and his siblings reunion, followed by camping with friends and ending with Green and his parents family reunion.  Thank heaven I get to come home to a hot shower and a working washer and dryer after each trip. 
Here are some pictures highlighting the last two camping trips of the season.

We went swimming at Whitney Reservoir.  The scenery  was so pretty.  The kids had a great time in the water and also on Nielsen's fishing boat.

Face painting was a HUGE success.

Red with Flowers.

Brown had a crown on one cheek and a heart on the other.

Yellow was half red and half white.

Blue was black and red.

 We had a great time with our friends the Devey's, Hirzel's and Nielsen's.  Thanks for the fun memories.


The next pictures are from our last camping trip with Green's parents.  We were up at Middle Piney in Wyoming.  It was so pretty. We came home with several souvenirs.  Mosquito bites!!!!  We went fishing, played in the creek (brrrrrr), ate yummy food, rode the four wheelers, and hiked to our little hearts content.

Here is Brown in her hiking outfit.  We thought she looked like a little German with her lederhosen.

Red and Yellow fishing with Green.  They did really well casting.  I was surprised.

Blue and Grandpa Doug taking a break from fishing.

Blue and Yellow got into the creek but the water was so cold that they didn't want  to get all wet so Green would throw rocks to splash them.

Our home away from home.
