Quick shout out to pinterest.

For snack today we had "painted toast" At first the kids looked at me rather strange when I told them that they were going to paint their toast and then they could eat it. Very cute idea and the kids had fun doing it. A craft and a snack all in one. Life does not get much better then that for a young one!

But mom its FREE!

During quiet time last week I happened to look up at the clock and realized that the word quite was soon to be a word of the past, it was 2:30 SCHOOLS  OUT! As I expected it did not take long before I could hear the laughing, screaming, yelling, and a.... ?dragging noise? coming from just outside our front door.  I looked out the kitchen window  to see ALL four kids were dragging what looked to be like a desk down the side walk to our house. My first thought was, "oh look at that great team work, they are helping someone move a desk into the neighbors house." WRONG! well right on the team work part but wrong on the NEIGHBORS house! Just what we need, more junk in the house. I took a deep breath opened the front door with a huge smile on my face and of course said, "dear little ones what might that be." Ok maybe that was not exactly how it went down but I always wanted to be like the mom on Leave it to Beaver.  Bodie had a huge smile on his face and said, " mom look what I scored a "new" desk for my room and it was FREE.

 I did not have the heart to tell him that someone was getting rid of it because, well.... it was JUNK! Heck and if anyone knows me free is a good word in my world. So now Bodie has a desk and all is happy at the Zollinger house.
