Resolutions for 2014

• Be more faithful in planning out meals for the coming week. Last month, on groceries, we spent over $400 dollars! Yikes! 
• On Instagram, take a photo every day. My hashtag will be #LVeveryday2014. 
• Do more pinterest projects! There are so many cool things I pinned that I would like to do so my goal for this year - ten or more! 
• Write more hand written letters.
• Be more diligent in updating this blog!
• And of course, the common/every person's resolution - lose weight and get healthy! 

Newest family members

A couple weeks ago we gained two new family members. Aaron and I were not necessarily planning for this addition...
We were walking out of meeting two Sundays ago when Aaron saw two cats laying on a tire, all entwined with each other, cuddling.
"You know, I wouldn't mind getting a couple cats. Look how cute they are just laying there together..."  He told me.
The next thing I knew we were on our way home with a litter box, litter, a small bag of food, food dishes, and two very timid little kittens in tow. (They are not so timid anymore, I may add...)

We decided on the names Thea (the black/calico) and George (the orange).

Candy Corn Match Up

My latest school project (for my Methods and Materials: K class) dealt with having to do a lesson plan for kindergarteners. Since learning capital letters, lower case letters, and sounds are important with this grade, I decided to do the Candy Corn Match Up.

I mixed all the pieces up for the children and they had to put them back together. I then put Velcro on each piece so they could stick it on the board I had made and together the kids would make a candy corn alphabet!

(I only wish I would have laminated each piece so that the pieces would last longer and wouldn't bend so easily...)

Three mixed up letters.

What do chipmunks eat?

Today I stayed home with grandma while mom and Will went to Eagle Bend for convention. During lunch today we were sitting at the table eating Chili when grandma asked,
"what do those chipmunks eat?"
I replied, "they eat bird seed". I must have said the word "seed" a little quiet because she looked at me and asked,
"they eat...birds?!"
haha I am thankful that we don't have bird eating chipmunks!
