Slime!!

So most of you from my generation remember Nickelodeon Slime. Grandpa Keith and Grandma Jane sent some home with us from South Carolina. Alaina was making "cookies" with it.

She was concentrating so hard. When I asked her to smile she said, "No Mom. I'm busy!"

It warmed up to 47 degrees yesterday. Because it warmed up so much, the slide that I had outside finally un-froze from the ground so I brought it in. The kids have really enjoyed having something to climb on when the weather lately has left us all a bit stir crazy.

Leo found one more thing to climb on to get an outside view.
This is what I spent my birthday and Christmas money on!! I bought a new 24" computer monitor that also works as a TV. When we move in a couple of months the computer desk and desktop computer will go in our bedroom and we will have the laptop downstairs. That doesn't work now because Dave takes the laptop to school. We had a tv/dvd player in our room before, but that is now by the kids toys so that the kids could watch cartoons on Sunday while Dave and I were watching football. It is also awesome to have such a big screen for photo editing.
We are finally halfway to the weekend!! This week seems to be dragging by. To make it seem like the weekend, I'm making a big dinner for tonight. I'm trying a new recipe for roasting a chicken tonight. It uses a bunch of herbs and you put half of a lemon and half of an onion inside of it while it bakes. We'll see how it works!! I haven't roasted a whole chicken since I worked at the group home. It can't be too hard, right?
