No, really, on her show it was about Living Green. They showed how to pack an earth-friendly lunch. Since both my girls take their lunch and someday Connor will, I went to this website <a href="http://www.snacktaxi.com/">http://www.snacktaxi.com/</a> and ordered reusable sandwich bags. I know they're pricey, but in the long-run more cost effective than buying ziploc. I think the kids will have fun eating out of them too!<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328264703231415362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaLhxAMOAxlSc1T3-OvvYKpThxjk_ABrV8Gc0z_H3a2xNjgavaa5UcpcNlXXcAJEP5j-6ijqFo3u8H8aNbYZfwkL1WcnHxD9SmeEk6U_q7jgoD07wc0NGddaj0sw_td5xYfaMNWZmP0SMb/s320/dogs-in-shoes-on-blue_001.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="center">(come in various patterns) </div>Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-63840137441263137142009-04-08T21:41:00.000-07:002009-04-08T21:54:34.761-07:00More kitties??<div align="center">So, the last pack of BLACK kitties are now sitting in a kennel at the local PetSmart waiting for their "forever homes".

Now that the cats are healthy and off meds they can be adopted. This morning we took them to PetSmart, where they hold adoption events. But, if they don't get adopted they come back to us and we try again next week. Well, they came back...they'll try to move them to a pet store that has kennel space on Tuesday.</div><br /><div></div></div></div>Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-46769872823501085482009-01-10T13:07:00.000-08:002009-01-10T13:16:51.141-08:00Historic floods<div>Our beautiful Snohomish river went over it's banks last Thursday, closing hwy9 and many other roads, it's incredible to see it!

What to do with it?? I came up with the idea to put a Bible verse each week for the kids to memorize, and me too!! It works perfect, we see it every day as we sit down to eat. The verses pertain to the kids like something they need to work on. :-)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLK8GHCiiHQ5DX2VDcHJ-QXpl1t0MPVPQEMWh4slqmZMAK6t60qnbJ6FOjmJU40VSwMhayofrkLrFKmpqxWurEzYFrlzxo-mxTzg5uPOcVOUewwUFGDqXLAbfKhWlOqt8DvkfB2Q5D5WI/s1600-h/010809+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289030371050410930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGLK8GHCiiHQ5DX2VDcHJ-QXpl1t0MPVPQEMWh4slqmZMAK6t60qnbJ6FOjmJU40VSwMhayofrkLrFKmpqxWurEzYFrlzxo-mxTzg5uPOcVOUewwUFGDqXLAbfKhWlOqt8DvkfB2Q5D5WI/s320/010809+004.JPG" border="0" /></a>Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-722185789043356922009-01-08T11:33:00.000-08:002009-01-08T13:29:16.741-08:00The twins are back...<div align="center">after almost 3 weeks without them (since it was Christmas break).

I don't know what it is, but I love doing them! In Colorado we did (and finished) 2 puzzles, then we pulled out the daddy of all puzzles. "Gone With the Wind" it's 2000 pieces and huge. We worked on it years ago and saved the sections we completed. I got it out and tried to get it done before we left. It didn't happen, so I boxed it up again and carried it on the plane home. Phil and I have been working on it and it's done!!<br /><br />Thank goodness...now I can clean my house and do laundry! :-)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284596544703020546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEganPuyxu2FUrBsl9BtEbTprPJdLgXgGDggvctC9-o5Izb8TsvnMcn2vMU-txZzah3CeudiTdEI9senZHldUz1amrx3X_7vKw7AjLuHBiZyVTdd8KJn5picfGSdYxkDjwW6oL4KozgBqIs5/s320/122708+001.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284596551113184338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieGsANKhjp85u1SItI3u32BaMlobrUmV8gkfYrRN7rRsiopGmG1rFebyEAIAgRW6XdJGJXnpapNI9rT24Bcg_Dbk15nDRNsY16JgK6pVofW8NmbdVghJP2Itq3SVJwtepk1VR0b1yp_cxI/s320/122708+003.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284596561982238130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaL0eDfGKP_kWVW9vXvaFAxyTP80TJqowFYnEWkWQEuKt8iLOWgOcN7NE_z4HnG0BYEarv3y0NuKVY3PJzXidnsXDDsyndQc1vy4ZOr5rS5GKYzKofi08BSed1WpPYH0L1jkup2V0tcaXo/s320/122708+005.JPG" border="0" />Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-34248437897623598092008-12-26T18:26:00.000-08:002008-12-26T19:02:50.660-08:00Seattle SnowSo, we just spent a week in Colorado with very little snow...while we're gone it decides to DUMP on Seattle giving everyone a very white Christmas!!!

It's always good to have him. I'm sure his head spins with all the kids and commotion, but he handles it very well! :-) He walked the kids to school each morning, held and entertained the little babies, gave Bailey LOTS of lovin' (poor dog), went to Babies'R Us with me, and of course did Yoga with the kids. It's the first thing Mady asks when he comes, then it's, "Did you bring a present?"<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278949027341079042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQE3jri1zOUjAQRdYatWOyCpG28PPLIJuGASOvONYA6u8OEUn6GDaGm0VoshmVDLDV6NbcdNj-LKQx7_co9ZODJkA5HQ4pZMrVrpE4zTXsRKm6pI74_2Yjpp-LKMeyrJHv80y-eQx-7hYC/s320/121008+017.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278949018764337730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieLdCc20owc2CIzf0mAdJIHAj6YQTtC6__SGgfUMWZSIP9k8mM6ymGdygHLrR6a9Cmzo7wRHxel3fsgEhHiVho6gXGZQlzsGFGn6JAwbMYml90BFRPYrQyin66VFHg4cw8VHtjk6DJBNC7/s320/121008+012.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278949009784559314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1suoKiL86rK6Bzme2jrZn9m_lf1PxdSprkIjDWCXdoku0RWQ-s1wIjJYnh80Rqj5fsFJp62Wr-Eev8QpKPGOK_CXlcs8AlheUttbnEzR0dMItKh7vPiBilaQB3Eg1ERD4uXmUKauhKaf9/s320/121008+010.JPG" border="0" />Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-13530032399308716542008-12-02T15:48:00.000-08:002008-12-02T15:53:37.599-08:00Trick-or-treating<div><div>A Pirate, Angel, and Racoon...whatever I could scrounge up without spending a fortune. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275344746335779010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNe7CJq2331vbGq7dQ0oYf0L_NK5p9TuklyTX6in69iiGaWDB-3OI174Wb0XQday4xONonzC1EKrxVtDF9h-3ABzklDRPx2gvP3kX4BE1dpREJ-Nm6HfL_2ACQSbjJh0aE0cyLpJVDuuzV/s320/102908+014.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275345045377118882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-JoQ9Z44z5DHqXgKRCc0pGr7Zdfl3kzLKD6-cctwD4GEpcdTXXA-w-CciehkfyNM1QRf_FfsBrrnd-92Mp0vVKU3aa-AqiG5QngWpDksHLcjt8U1A7QPDyPLNgYDZhDbeH5NaZZHEl_wF/s320/103108+004.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Sherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11677345438406010103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838449780475696755.post-64573993970367286872008-12-02T14:43:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:15:18.372-08:00So I started to do childcare and am watching twins! They are now 7 mos. old, Annabel and Gracie, they are just too cute. I've always wanted twins so this is the best of both worlds...I get to love and cuddle them during the day and have my nights and weekends free. :-) This was the compromise Phil and I made to doing foster care. I still want to do foster care so I'm praying about it and praying that God will speak to Phil's heart.
