Calming Down

I love homeschooling. I love that when my girl is struggling we can just stop. On this day I asked her to just walk laps outside. I know her well enough that to just walking around outside would help. 

I was not very specific with her so she completly decided that one of our goats should walk with her. 

  I don't mind, I love how therapeutic our animals are for her. A couple of minutes of being outside and she was calm and back to studying spelling words.

Great Wolf Lodge

I know I have told you before how much we love love love Great Wolf Lodge. We had the chance to go again recently, 

This time was so much better in several ways. First, Jacob was not scared. He loved the water (which was scary for me), he loved Oliver. He loved Oliver so much that he would not leave him alone. He was very concerned that Oliver did not have a swim bracelet on. He kept showing Oliver her bracelet and pointing to his ankle. 

One of our favorite things about Great Wolf Lodge is that they have so much to do without leaving the hotel and spending extra money. The kids all enjoyed having their face painted. They enjoy story time.

Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

Yumm yumm and triple yummy! How about a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and reece peanut butter cups on top. 

I made this cake for a event at church. I have to be honest and say I took it in Sunday morning even though I knew I would not need it until Sunday night. 

   I love this cake stand. A friend found two of them at a thrift store and bought them for me. I could not wait to try them out. 

Grace does not like peanut butter but wanted you to know she is thinking about eating this cake.

I am Getting Married

Hello, my name is Banter and today my parents said it was time I got married. I did not agree to this. 

I will fight them every step of the way.

I have been told my new husband is handsome and strong and comes from a strong milk line. But honestly I just do not want to leave my family to meet my husband even though I know I will be home soon with babies in my belly.

Good Night Baby Boy

This little boy spent his first night away from me. A couple of nights a week Hope will take Jacob to bed with her but they never go to sleep. 

This time they both went to sleep rather quickly. I love that he went to bed with his cup and shoes. He slept all night with her. He has not done it since. I am pretty sure this little boy will be out of my bed soon.
