Lovely...uh huh

I just want you to see what has been going on over here at the house the last 2 days. I almost lost my mind, but didn't.

We decided to clean the rugs in our house and I have decided we must be pigs because apparently we enjoy living in filth. Just look at the NAS-TY water that is in this steam cleaner. That's nice isn't it?? I'm disgusted. Go ahead....take a look.


Now, this would be one volcano that we have built for a Science project. Yes....there are more than one volcano involved in the Science project. I almost lost it when I saw the list of supplies. I completely stressed out. It would just say "sand" and you'd be like...."How much sand?" And it wouldn't tell you. And, so you go buy way too much sand and then you are stuck with sand that you do not want. Great. Now, isn't she pretty?


This is the 2nd volcano. We did this one on Monday. I needed a mental break between the building of 2 volcanos. They were inside and outside. And coming and going out of the back door at least 278 times in one hour and slamming the door VERY LOUDLY with barking dogs almost caused me to scream in front of the friend who is helping them build volcano #2. Whew. It was scary.

This totally cracks me up. Here are the 2 boys building the volcano and one of my other boys decided to pull out the lawn chair onto the grass and kick back and watch the mad scientists.

So, there you have it. We have actually done 4 projects in the last 2 weeks and these precious volcanos were the culmination of all the madness. I promise I'm ok. However, if I see or hear the word "project" one more time...I'm seriously gonna erupt. ;)

Projects truly make parents behave in ways we normally don't. Thanks teachers. We are so grateful for the ugliness you have caused our children to see in us.

I'm going to go lay down now.

Have a great week!

Hugs and blessings~
