If you're new to the Fly on the Wall posts, they are usually about funny little snippets that happen during the past month. But then sometimes people might forget to write those funny little snippets down. Then those people are probably not going to remember what those funny little snippets are. And forget asking the other people in the house. They aren't going to help you some people remember because those funny little snippets were about THEM!!

Here are some of the things I remembered. Then I'll show you some of the stuff we have been up to over the past month or so. 

The Crazy People That Live Here

Me

The Hubby

Jacob - 21 yr old son

Joshua - 19 yr old son

Deanna - 18 yr old daughter

Cailey - 10 yr old daughter

Colin - 7 yr old son

TJ - Jacob's best friend

******************************************
So, our power went out last Saturday night for about 10 hours. It was SOOOO cold!! The wind was awful!!

It was SOOO dark!!!! 

Here's what happened:

Joshua - Hey, Cloud, hiding in the guise of darkness. Oh, never mind. You're a hoodie.

So, Deanna has a flashlight but instead of using it she stumbles around in the dark kicking things and making a ton of noise.

Me - You could actually use that flashlight, y'know. Or are you TRYING to wake everyone up??

I put Deanna, Cailey and Colin in my bed (king sized) to keep them all warm. Cailey and Colin have been very sick and Deanna was starting to show symptoms. DH and I camped out in the living room. Around 4am, it was just too cold for me and I decided to see if I could sneak into the bed with them.

Apparently Deanna thought I was a blanket thief. 

I also grabbed Cailey's face a time or three while trying to get comfy. 

****************************************

TJ comes in the next morning, after the power is back on. 

I am whispering to him and telling him what happened.

TJ - Why are we whispering.

Me - Oh! Deanna is taking pictures of the cats.

Made perfect sense to me.

****************************************

Remember how I said Cailey and Colin have been very sick?

Cailey didn't realize that if you pass gas while you have a stomach bug, something other than gas just might shoot out. 

Thankfully she was already on the toilet.

Cailey tied her blanket around her head. She had tissues stuffed in the top part like a squirrel storing nuts. 

Deanna describes it like a magician pulling scarfs from his sleeve. 

******************************************

Deanna is playing a game with Colin but she keeps dying.

Colin to Joshua - Why can't she be smarter??

******************************************

Look what The Hubby got me for Valentine's Day!!

Isn't she beautiful??? A 1956 Singer And she WORKS!!! Perfectly!! I just need to figure out how to really use her. ;)

Here's my other vintage machine, a 1964 Kenmore. Unfortunately this one doesn't work but The Hubby only paid $20 for it.

******************************************

We went on a little field trip with one of our homeschool groups. We visited a local supermarket.

This was the highlight of the trip.

The kids even got to pet the lobster! Well, Cailey did. Colin wanted no part of it!!! LOL

******************************************

Before the kids got sick we managed to go to Home Depot for one of the kids' workshops.

We didn't get to go the one at Lowe's. They were both too sick. :(

******************************************

On a warmer day, we did painting on buffalo hides (paper bags) while we learned about the Plains Tribes.

******************************************

We made pictures of longhouses while learning about Woodlands Tribes.

******************************************

I found this really cool kit on clearance at Target and just had to grab it. 

They had so much fun with it!

******************************************

This was our first snow for 2015. Not much but they still had fun.

******************************************

Our first Easter candy of the year. Bunny faces! :D

******************************************

Cailey and Colin attended their first Valetine's Day party complete with Valentine's cards to pass out. As homeschoolers, this is one of the things we haven't done. 

Cailey chose Frozen cards while Colin had be print out Dr Who cards. ;)

They had tons of fun with their friends! But I forgot to take pictures. :/ I was too busy blabbing. Bad mommy!!
