Getting Locked out

We live in a gated community, HAHAHAHAHA! Really it is a military post and most days I like it. Well this week I have my brain. I left the house to go to piano and after vowing to give up mountain dew I decided that a mountaindew slushie would surely help my sinus head ache. So I pull into the gas station and realize I left my wallet at the house. So we went on to piano. While we were there hope took sticks from the yard and made a hut. She said this is the hut we would die in because we could not go home and we had no money. Then she decided to rub two sticks together so we would have fire for the night. She was truelly concerned for us. Grace told her they could just build a bridge with the sticks to get to Michael (who was at home). I had visions of us getting caught sneaking over the fence to a military post. No worries my dear friend Crystal came to my rescue and brought me my wallet. Really it was not that big of deal because the gate is only a mile away and Michael could have walked to the gate to bring me the keys. I have to admitt I was a little embarrased when I realized we were stuck because Hope had not brushed her hair and Grace had snuck out of the house in her elmo slippers. I wish the pictures were better.

Day 8 with dad away

We are doing good. Busy and I think that helps alot. Everyone is doing okay. Grace is struggling, she talks about daddy all the time. This was her conversation last night:
mommy, i am not tired, i need daddy, hope is a sparkie and i want to be a sparkie and i have too many tears (honestly her shirt is soaked) and i need daddy, and i want to be a spark but I have no BM to put in the potty, faith does not put BM in the ...potty, no she does not have any. I need the lights on, I am not tired. now she is crying for her daddy in bed and telling me he is not coming home forevvvvvvvvvvver

singing at church

Sunday morning the kids got to sing in the santuary. Sunday night was the recital and everyone did great. There was a pizza party afterwards. Grace was so funny she loved the pizza and cried for more. Thank you Mrs. Amy for all of your help and all the work you put into the play

Liquid Laundry Soap

A couple of weeks ago we made homemade laundry soap and never took a picture. So today when I opened the 5 gallon bucket I took a picture. It looks great.

Bread

I have really enjoyed making bread. I love the look of white bread the best but want to feed my kids wheat bread. My wheat bread never comes out this tall. If you have a reciepe I would love to try it.
