Dear Miranda,

After 16 years and 3 messy kids, this is what your Tupperware cabinet is going to look like.

Love,
Margie

Ok..on Good Morning America they gave a guy the challenge to make a meal with random groceries they brought him. I just got home from Aldi's with this stuff. Wonder what I will make....Shrimp with bananas and honey buns? Oh the possibilities...

Well, I started the day cleaning out and reorganizing the freezer. I realized that we have a ton of frozen meals...so, I came up with a plan...We are going to be eating them for just about every meal this week (We'll save money and I will end up with some room in my freezer). Then the reorganizing just kept on happening-I cleaned through Vaughn and Cole's rooms (I am going to "freecycle" a few boxes of books and I have a few boxes of stuff for the Purple Hearts when them come on Thursday)...It's been a long day, now I am really tired.

Here is the church that we go to now. Someday I'll try to get a picture of the inside. It is beautiful. Last night I had a dream that Mom lived here - kind of like it was her house, but I was living here with my kids. In the dream I was leaving to take Jesse to church, and Mom was so happy that I was doing that. I was glad that she was happy but kept wondering where she had been all this time. Weird. So, I had so much to do today and was thinking of skippng church, but then I remembered the dream and figured that I had better go.

Farrell volunteers referees AYSO soccer games. Today was opening day and he worked all day (9-3). He got a bit sunburned and got to ref Annie's game. I hear he had to enforce some rules on her, sorry Maureen. He loves doing this.

Allison helped them pick flowers at the playground.

Gianni met his great grandma for the first time...It got me thinking how I really wish Gianni could have met my grandparents. I know they can see him, but I wonder what they think of me being a parent, etc. Wonderful thoughts run through my head when I think of my grandparents!Mirans

Found lots of cool stuff in Nikki's attic - an old trunk, a wicker doll buggy, a mirror on a stand, toys, newspapers, postcards, and a bunch of valentines - all from around 1930. We laughed about this valentine, "Lawsy Goodness, can't you see, You am sho de one fo me? Listen, Honey, is you gwine, Be my little Valentine?" Can you imagine the outrage if one of these was passed out now?

Baby lilacs. I wonder if they've already got all of that wonderful aroma inside of them at this point, or if it somehow develops in the sunshine as they bloom.

Today another beautiful day. So I gave the dogs a treat. They were supposed to take turns but sometimes they just couldn't wait. They love their doggie ice cream. Then later me,Joe and James went for Ice Cream! yummy.

Gianni was a hit at the Moose...This is Gianni and Mr. Biddle. Mr. Biddle paraded Gianni all over! It was very cute!

Madi is laying on the kitchen floor playing, and she says, "Look, there's a skull on the ceiling!" For Easter, she got this starfish that you put in water and it grows. It was sitting in a bowl of water by the sliding glass door, the sun was shining in on it, and somehow it reflected a skull onto the ceiling!
