Chocolate Covered Oreos

Weekending

How was your weekend? We had our weekly Friday night Bible study (check out the kielbasa butter bean recipe here 🙂) and Saturday was a busy day! Jimmy took Sadie to work with him in the morning and made some progress on the floors in the homeschool room. The room used to have carpet, but we ripped it up and are doing polished concrete floors (with a rug or play mat on top because… kids 👧👦).

Before we started, the carpet was beat, stained, and just done. Once we ripped the carpeting up, we spent a ton of time getting the carpet glue off the ground. Jimmy and I had a “date night” last week where we spent a few hours laying down paint thinner and scraping the floor. Saturday was all abound grinding and smoothing the concrete. I think our next step is to polish and seal it. Then we can move on to fun things like painting and putting together furniture! (more…)

The Coolest Order and a Silver and Gold 5k

I’ve been taking the kids to Jimmy’s work a few days each week to do school there. One day, we brought in stickers and paint so Sadie could decorate some work gloves for a few employees and she also put stickers on a welding helmet for one of the workers.

I wonder if she will do any welding when she grows up! This week she told me she wants to be a gymnast.

Mordecai… I think he just wants to be healthy?! We were back at urgent care for the second time in two weeks. This time, he had another ear infection and hand, foot, and mouth disease. Poor guy is all blistered up. (more…)
