Welcome to Fantastic Thursday! Summer has been so much fun so far, and I know, it has only started.  But spending time, lots of time, with my Little Chefs – creating, playing – especially outside, singing & dancing, cooking, and just having so much fun – who could ask for anything more! And speaking of singing and dancing, the Little Chefs found their new favorite station on Pandora (which we have on playing 24/7 at our house!) ….. Kidz Bop {Read More}

Welcome to Fantastic Thursday! It’s Raining – It’s Pouring!!! It has been a couple of days of rain. We love the rain, but you know when it has been raining too long when your 3 yr old starts singing – “Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, Please Shine Down on Me”!! (anyone else know that song?) Today was also a first for Little Chef E – He lost a battle with grandma’s entertainment center and ended up with a few stitches! {Read More}

Welcome to FantasticThursday! I have a confession – I am addicted to chocolate covered gummy bears!! Those darn things – I can not leave them alone.  Chef Dad has been out-of-town, and it is my weakness to buy a rather large bag of them and treat myself to not just one, or even a few – but pretty much to the entire bag!! Maybe I should have shared with my Little Chefs!! I know you have all been waiting to {Read More}

Welcome to FantasticThursday! Welcome to May everyone!!! Can you all believe that May is already here?! As you all know by now, we love the warm weather.  We LOVE to be outside – doing yard work, playing basketball, soccer, football, anything if it is outside we enjoy it!! My kids are getting so excited to see our garden plants starting to grow – but they were sad to see that we lost our lettuce, too cold for too long. Note {Read More}

Welcome to FantasticThursday! Spring soccer is in full swing at our house! And this year all my Little Chefs are participating – even my 3 1/2-year-old!! And to see her  in shin guards,  pink soccer cleats, bows and pig tails, makes me smile!! It is fun to see the Little Chefs growing up and getting involved in things that they love to do and have fun with. But, my goodness, it gets soooo busy. I know the clock says we {Read More}

Welcome to Fantastic Thursday! Okay, I have to apologize for giving Mother Nature a hard time last week…….she really showed me how cold it can really get, because we have been waking up to snow the last few days.  I am so ready for summer and warm weather.  I had to go dig out all my Little Chefs “cold weather” clothes,  because I had already rotated their closets!  Little Chef B even wore his snow boots to school yesterday!!!  Being bummed {Read More}

Welcome to Fantastic Thursday! Mother Nature is playing tricks on us…..because it has been freezing the last few days. The weather WAS so warm and our tulips were blooming – but now, Little Chef K is so sad because they look like they are dying! We even planted some of our vegetable garden last weekend – broccoli, onions, spinach, kale, and cauliflower.  Most of those vegetables like the cooler weather….but not FREEZING weather! The Little Chefs have been so worried {Read More}
