Well It’s been a while….
The last time i wrote it was December 15th! I can hardly believe that we have completely sailed through Christmas and New years. Wow time flies when you are having fun. OR as the case may be SICK. For a month prior to the December 15th posting I had a cold that just would not go away. We tried everything and it simply came down to getting an antibiotic I wish I had gone three weeks prior!! Now as I am writing this I find myself completely queezy with some sort of stomach bug and praying very hard that no one else gets it in the house!
Hubby has been furiously typing a way at the laptop upstairs. His first two chapters of his master’s thesis is due in the mail tomorrow morning. and NO he did not wait til the last minute to do it. He is finishing up foot notes and editing!
Little Bean lost a few ounces again last week at the Dr’s visit but they were not overly concerned since he had gained so much prior to that visit. He has another weight check next Monday! He is getting so big. He has gained two teeth in the last month. He creeps everywhere and at an astonishing speed. I do declare he is part puppy. the way he chews and drools and growls!!!
I have been doing a lot of planning again. It seems like that is all I do at the beginning of January. Somehow I completely lost my calendar at the end of last year SOOO from October to the end of December I felt like I was flying in the dark But a new year has Dawned and I have decided to put my new calendar right into my planning notebook which I plan on writing a blog post about REAL soon.
Hopefully this stomach bug this will end as quickly as it has shown up and I will be able to blog more regularly!
Also I will be revisiting the Prayer plan for our husbands since I quickly discovered that my scheduled posting option wasn’t working and my website guru (HT) has fixed the problem! (THANKS HT) That will make it easier to stay current! I will probably do it as a Valentines month theme! Or maybe just the month of January!
So please stay tuned! There will be many fun things to come Including a movie review and some other very fun stuff!
Have a great night and God Bless!
Wordless Wednesday December 15th

Tackle It Tuesday -December 14
Wow it has been a long time since I have participated in a tackle. I have two from the last couple weeks and I hope to be a more active tackler since my blog has been finished….I have only included the after pictures especially for the bottom two …it was not for the weak of stomach!!
Back a few weeks ago the kids went on a feild trip with their school to the pumpkin patch…what I didn’t know whas that they were going to each bring home VERY large pumpkins and since weasel went along he brought one home too. We wanted to keep them through the Thanksgiving holiday for decoration and then I would “take care of them” Well I noticed one day that I had a small spot of mold on the top of one so I decided to go ahead and tackle this major project. we had also aquired 2 smaller pumpkins from church as well so I now had 5 pumpkins calling for my attention. So I cut open the one that needed the most attention..and much to my surprise the pumkin had rotted from the inside out and IT WAS BAD!!!! I tossed the whole thing. It was not salvagable….So then I cut the nexy one whew. Not a problem…So after only 4 pumpkins cooked and pureed this is what I had. There is at least 17 quarts of pumpkin not to mention the small white container of seeds…A Huge hit in our house!
The second tackle hubby actually took care of…It’s kinda his thing and he is good at it. Be thankful I didn’t post before and after pictures…LOL you just get the after which is much nicer. You see my dad gave us a deer he shot and Hubby and the three older kids drove down to PA to get it. So in total there was about 86 pounds of meat. This includes ground meat steaks roasts and stew meat both on and off the bone. What a blessing and a relief for the wallet. Be watching for some GREAT venison recipes coming soon
