I actually got Joshua to stand still and talk for the camera. Sorry, it's not the greatest quality, it's just a video camera on my digital camera and it doesn't come across very well. But you can hear him and laugh with him.
Oh, and by the way, every time he hears the video he repeats everything. I've been cracking up laughing for the past 30 minutes at him!

Monday, April 30th
Wow! Where did April go?!
I've got another cleaning marathon going on this morning. It's so nice to get the heavy house work done each Monday morning . . . ie. vacuuming, dusting, dejunking and cleaning the bathrooms. All I have to do the rest of the week is pick up (and vacuum again when Joshua makes his little messes).
I've got to go out visiting this morning with a friend. In our church the ladies have a thing called Visiting Teaching. We are assigned as companionships and then we have other ladies we visit each month and we share a religious message that comes from the leaders of our church. My friend and I visit 4 ladies, but they aren't active participants in church, so we just do a quick little visit to make sure they and their families are doing okay and leave a copy of the message with them. It's pretty bad that we've waited until the last day of the month to do this.
Well, guess my break has been long enough, on to the living room and bathrooms.

Yeterday, Chuck and the girls mixed bedding for the worm beds. I took a few pictures to share of Shayla helping him out. At this point, the other two girls had disappeared to jump on the trampoline. Shayla was excited I'd make her a "star" on my blog hehe.
If you scroll to the bottom of the screen, you can view a short video of Chuck and Shayla mixing bedding.
This morning Chuck's gone off to the foothills with the scouts. Next Saturday is a big scouting extravaganza and his troop has made really cool reflectors. They will take them up on the mountain and at the appropriate time, they will signal a receiving troop at the extravaganza. Today is a practice run. We are glad it is sunny outside and hope it stays that way next Saturday too!
Last night we watched "Night at the Museum." Oh my gosh was it fantastic. The girls loved it, I loved it, Chuck loved it. We've had it on again this morning.
I found out this morning that I've been accepted on the Creative Team at Digi Scrap Shak. I am soooo excited I can hardly contain myself hehe.

Hey all, been a quiet day around here . .well, until this evening. Chuck spent the better part of the day repairing our dishwasher. Thank goodness, when he pulled out the pump (that drains the water) we found it plugged with crud. When he put it all back together again, it works! We didn't have to spend any money to repair it!
This evening I am tending a friend's two kids while she is at a meeting and my dh and her dh are at another meeting. I took her two kids and my four kids over to the high school track. Stacia is participating in track and field training for a track meet in May. She's not the fastest, but she is absolutely loving it. The other kids played out on the lawn while we waited.
When Stacia got back in the car and we headed home she was having difficulty breathing and had a funny dry cough. I'm thinking exercise induced asthma, but I'll talk to the doctor on Tuesday while I'm there for an appointment for Makiya. If he thinks it's the same, I'll take her in. We'll see how she does next time.
Did a bit more scrapping today. I've applied to be on the creative team for DigiScrap Shak. I think it would be great. I'd be required to put together 1-2 layouts a week and a few other assignments. Here are the pages I did today.

As promised here are a few pictures from the Natural Resource Fair. It was a lot of fun. Some kids loved playing in the worms, others, would say, eww and wrinkle up their noses. We will be doing it again next year.
Stacia is home sick this morning, but wants to try to go this afternoon when Chuck heads into town to tune a piano.
We watched Charlotte's Web last night for Family Home Evening. It was a really fun movie. We've always enjoyed the cartoon version, but this "live" version was wonderfully done. The silly little jokes throughout really kept us laughing.
Here is Shayla climbing the rock wall that was outside. The other girls climbed too, but I wasn't around with the camera to get their pictures.
