We love visitors! My grandparents came with Harley again for a weekend and we had lots of fun. Swimming, playing at McDonald's, running around the house, and lots of dress up was the action for the weekend.
They even stayed and went to church with us! It is always so fun having them come and visit for awhile.
Here is our 1st 4-H project of the year. We made some ceramic cups. The boys enjoyed it and I think we will have to do it again from start to finish now that we know what to expect.
Here are the cups they made before they are glazed. I was hoping to have an after shot but they are not finished yet...I think we messed up a step. I want to take Mike back there and us do this together one weekend.
On to Valentines day,(I feel like I am all over with these posts but between having a head cold for almost a month now and having just a few more weeks left with this pregnancy I am totally scattered) I was not full of energy like I wanted so I just made a few little craft things that I stole from other amazing sites and put together these for the kids and Mike. It was really fun putting them together and the coupon books is where it is at. Mike got coupons ranging from dinner to massages. And the boys got coupons to redeem to, when they are being good, such as ice cream, a trip to the dollar store...just things like that.
I have not yet posted on our basement progress!!! So a little history on this is in order. When we moved in the basement was partial...meaning we only had access to 900 square feet. The other 1100 is dug out but you have to go through a little trap door and you can't stand up all the way, its filled with dirt, needless to say, that project will come way down the road. For now we are finishing the 900 part.
The first year we moved in we had it framed and most of the electric put in and that is where it as stalled ever since. Well when I went away to Idaho for the weekend Mike and the kids got to work and got all the way up to this point done!!
It will give us another family playroom and a office, which if needed, can be converted into a room. We have two really good sized storage's down there too. As of today we are painting and hoping that it can be done before the baby comes. I am just so excited I can't stand it.
On to the rabbits. This is what Mike surprised me and the kids with on Valentines day. Some women want jewelry or flowers, I want the simple pleasures in life like rabbits for their poop.
Yes, people this is what I want from these cute little guys......their poop! It fits right in with our preparedness goals. If you want to have a sustainable garden you need to have a good fertilizer and you don't get better than this...(Okay maybe bat or worms but this seems easier).
I feel so blessed to have so much going on but also a little stressed with all the balls I feel we have in the air. We have to make a pig structure because we are getting pigs in three weeks but also we could be having a baby in three weeks, we need to start some seeds indoors, I need to get the baby's room ready, and I need to clean up my house!!!!Ahhhhhh. at least I can say I am caught up with this right?!

Whew! Slow down, girl! You are accomplishing so much!! Why can't you just lay around and get fat during your pregnancy like the rest of us? (You said you looked swollen in your picture from your weekend away, but I thought you looked amazing!) That rabbit hutch is awesome. I had bunnies as a kid and it was a lot of fun. I hope your kids enjoy them for more than their poop :) Do you plan on letting them multiply? And pigs?! I think you should remind me of what animals you have around that place now - horse, chickens, goat, rabbits, pigs, do you already have a cow? Three weeks is no time at all! How wonderful to not be pregnant anymore and to have a little bundle to snuggle! I hope you feel great right up to your delivery date and that all goes well when the time is right. I'm glad you took the time to update the blog. Good luck with soo many projects going on!! Oh yeah, and where did you get the embroidered towels? Those are great!
