What do you do

first thing in the morning when you are staying at Grandma's. Why go out and play with the toadpoles

you caught yesterday and left in a bucket overnight. You must gather algae and give them a little fish food to feed them. Then you take the dead ones and have a funeral for them in the bird bath...I know, don't ask me why they put them in the birdbath... Eliana turned 9 in March and Maddie was 9 last November. They are the best kids, just play so well together and hardly ever disagree. I just told them they have to make their own lunches and you should have seen their eyes light up. I don't think their moms let them fend for themselves much in the kitchen. When they get done eating, we're going to make easy cookies.

1 package of white or yellow cake mix, 1 stick of melted oleo, and two eggs. Mix and add in 1 cup chocolate chips, nuts, craisins, coconut, crushed pineapple-----------whatever strikes your fancy.

You can use chocolate cake mix and mint chocolate chips or peanut butter chips-----carrot cake with nuts and raisins, butter pecan with butterscotch chips and pecans. I like the cherry chip cake mix with white chocolate chips. Use your imagination. Instead of making cookie shaped ones if I'm in a hurry, I grease my fingers well and press the dough into the cookie sheet and bake them all at one time into bars.

One of the two just likes chocolate chips so we did a few that way and then put cherry craisins, walnuts, coconut and chocolate chips in the rest. Then we made red and blue jello. We layered blue first and then a layer of red. We'll put whipped cream on the top and wala-----red white and blue jello for Memorial day.

LOL, my boys lost a small snake one time in the family room in the basement. When we took up the carpet, we found this cool snake skeletin under it. Then they had a hamster get away, never to be seen until Pete crawled under the living room crawl space and found a cool skeletin there.

Here's the girls making the cookies and Memorial day jello, red jello, blue jello with Cool Whip on top

Cute. My cousin adopted three siblings, a boy about 10, a girl 7 and a girl almost 5. Joanne took the little one to the dentist and on the way home she said, "Why did the dentist man put floor wax on my teeth?"
