This is another thing that has been keeping the kids busy this winter. We have several different kinds of painting tools, which the kids love to use.

Expecting #4......

For those who may not know we are expecting baby #4 sometime in October. We are really hoping and praying for a little girl. Anna keeps telling me over and over that she would like a little sister. I guess we will have to wait and see. We have a few girls names, but still need to figure out a couple of boy names. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I am feeling good so far and have not been sick at all, so we will have to see how much longer that last. I have also started working out on the treadmill and doing Pilates. I really need to get in better shape then I am.

This past week my parents were here for a few days. We had a nice time just hanging out and spending time playing with the kids. The kids have been playing with play-dough a lot lately. My mom made a lot of different animals out of play-dough with the kids. They really enjoyed having grandma & grandpa here.

Also my dad put in a new toilet in the downstairs bathroom. It has not been working real well and dad said that a new one would be good since the one in the bathroom was about 30 years old. Now we just need to get a new toilet in the upstairs bathroom.

Well that's what has been going on around here this week. I have a few pictures to post, which I will do sometime here. I just haven't had much motivation with spending time on the computer.

Valentines Gifts.......
The kids were very excited this past weekend when they got a gift in the mail from there Grandma & Grandpa Kostman. They got these nice jean jackets and super yummy marshmallow suckers. The suckers didn't last long and even mommy got a few bits. To watch the video go here.

Running Circles......

Wow how the week has gone by. On Monday I took the kids to the library, so they could hand in there winter reading sheets and pick out a prize. We then stayed for the craft/story hour, which the kids loved. They made Valentines cards, which I was hoping to make with them this week, which I have not gotten to yet. I really don't know were the time goes. If I didn't have dishes & laundry I would have so much time. Then after library time we went grocery shopping and had lunch at Culver's.

Then on Wednesday the Bible study that I go to was canceled, but some friends came over to play and have lunch. The kids had a blast playing. Then later in the afternoon the kids went outside and played in the snow for a good hour & half and then that evening the kids headed to Awana's. They have a good time and are making new friends. By the time we got home that evening they were really tired and ready for bed.

Thursday was just a crazy day, which felt like I didn't get much done. I'm sure many of you can relate. Anyway I hope to have some pictures to share sometime. I am starting to really have spring fever. Have a wonderful weekend:)

Knitted Hats....
These are the hats that I made on our trip to Nebraska this past Christmas. Knitting is such a nice way to past the time while driving on the road. The question I kept getting from my daughter was, "who are they for?." I said, "I don't know yet", so they will just go in my gift container and be given to someone as a present sometime.

Free Schedule Printables......

I have been thinking about trying to make up some type of schedule with the kids. So I went on line today to see what kind of pages I could find. I found this site with some nice printouts. Thought I would post it if anyone else is interested. I really am not a schedule type of person, but I think that with 3 kids I need to set one up to keep my sanity.

New Song.....

This last weekend we sang a song at our fellowship meeting, which I just loved. So I found it on You Tube and thought I would share it with you. It's called, "Give Me Jesus" by Fernando Ortega
