WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING
children are watching and doing as you do, not as you say.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and learned it was good to be kind to animals.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my favorite cake, and learned little things can be the special things in life.



When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a prayer, and knew there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust Him.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a sick friend, and learned we all must help take care of each other.



When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had little, and learned that those who have something should give to those who don't.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and learned we have to take care of what we're given.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you handled responsibilities, even when you didn't feel good, and learned I would have to be responsible when I grow up.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and learned sometimes things hurt, and it's all right to cry.



When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.



When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.



When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.'



I received this in my e mail and thought I would share it because it is so true. Children do watch everything we do. Enjoy!

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

-
Last night, knowing that my brother often has a sweet tooth at night, I made some Chocolate Brittle Surprise. Here is the recipe since I promised I would put it here for Candice: Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then lightly spray with pan spray (like Pam). Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil 1 cup butter and 3/4 cups of brown sugar for 3 minutes. cover the crackers with this butter/sugar mixture. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Then put 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over that immediately after it comes out of the oven. as it melts spread the chocolate so it evenly coats the crackers. Chill the brittle in the refrigerator or freezer until hard. Crack like you would peanut brittle, then store in ziploc bags in the freezer. Yummy! Amanda makes this all the time and since I wanted something cheap and easy to make, I made this. It is so goooood! Kenzie is at school and I am about to work on my Research Paper for school. Hope all is well. Maddie has ...

Lots going on in the future.

I have joined up with a group of my friends and we are planning some get togethers. We will be doing play dates at each other's houses. We are hoping to be able to do a christmas party in december. i am also hoping that in the future we can have some mdo activities (mom's day out). in addition to this we are working on a recipe book to share our favorite recipes. we are also doing a babysitting swap starting soon so that we can just swap with one of the girls. I would watch April's two kids so she can have mommy time, and she would swap another night with me to watch my two kids. I think it will really work out well for all of us. Kenzie is starting to learn some sight words. She can already recognize the words I, A, and Can. I know it is only three words, but she is learning that is what matters most at this moment. I can't wait for her to learn more words as she progresses in Kindergarten. Maddie came up to me today and said, "MOMMY BATHROOM!" so ...
