I don’t remember the last time I really disconnected from the internet, my phone, and all other distractions and just spent some good old-fashioned time with my children. Well, today was a day to do that, and it felt so refreshing, and REAL. I also brought along my camera to catch some fun pictures of the kids in action. We played in the yard, talked to the horses, and even went on a “journey” (which really just consisted of going across the road, and over the fence into an empty field) albeit a short one. This afternoon of playing, memory-making, and talking with my four children was just what I needed, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to spend the time with them.
They were all trying to jump at once, an almost impossible feat to capture, but still fun.
Sorry, with a drama-queen daughter, there are tears, and quite often, so I had to share this photo of her.
It really is difficult to capture a good picture of all four of them at once!
My 3 boys, sweet and cute.
Have you ever had a day where you wake up and feel like a fog has been lifted? Or like suddenly your eyes are opened for the first time in a long time? I’m having that kind of day today, a reckoning of sorts. All of a sudden I am motivated to accomplish tasks that normally are invisible to me. I cleaned my nightstand off, and for such a small piece of furniture, it sure contained a lot of junk. To be exact, 14 magazines, and 12 books, oh yeah and a couple of sippy cups.
Now I’m on a mission to find a piece of paper that I’ve misplaced. I’ve got the feeling that if I don’t find it something in me won’t let me rest until it’s found. And to be honest, I wouldn’t have lost the stupid piece of paper if I had taken care of it in December, yeah I’m also a procrastinator. Gosh, this blog is really bringing out all of my weaknesses lately. I’m heading off to track down a single sheet of paper, but hopefully I’ll be back…..
And, I threw in the picture of my son just for the heck of it, has nothing to do with this post, lol.
Anyone have a clue where I should look for this piece of paper? And, does anyone else ever have random days like this?
Banquet has been a household name for quite some time, and is known for quality food products for families. I’ve been out of town quite a lot recently, and I was really happy to leave my family with some Banquet lasagna for dinner. My husband said it was simple to heat up, and it was also yummy. The kids ate every bit of the lasagna, and I’m sure my hubby helped them finish it off as well.
The Thanks a Million program is something that was recently brought to my attention by Banquet and I really think it’s a great opportunity. If you purchase any participating Banquet products you have a chance to win $100,000 or other cash prizes! Sounds like a good fringe benefit in addition to enjoying Banquet meals.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Banquet and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
Okay, I feel really guilty. I visit other blogs and see beautiful pictures of children smattered throughout the posts of my fellow “Mom” bloggers. I very rarely post actual pictures of my kiddos, and I do take photos of them, I promise! So, today I’m just going to share some fun pictures of my four kids from the past couple of months….just for fun.
