Stop and smell the….

Flowers!


Here in Ohio it is almost spring. The weather has been in the high 60’s and then down in the 30’s the next day. Today we went out and cut some daffodils so they wouldn’t freeze to death.

Aren’t they pretty. Our friend ScottieScouts loves daffodils so we put them in a vase on the table for her to see. 

Daffodils are easy to grow. You put the bulb in the ground and Mother Nature takes care of the rest! We have them all over the yard!

Wonder what we’re gonna do next?

Spring cleaning

With the weather in Ohio constantly changing (it’s not quiet spring yet) Ohiophotogrl has started doing some spring cleaning. I decided I should help.

While she was feeding the dogs I started cleaning the bathrooms. It really easy to help. 


We use Clorox wipes to wipe down the sinks and outside of the toilets. That is something easy thr even kids can help do. Then I helped clean the bathtub. I get out the scrubbing bubbles and I spray away. Then I let that set for a few minutes and get out my brushes and my rag.


I always remember to rinse them before and after I use them. We wanna keep everyone healthy :0)

Always remember that you can help out. If we all pitch in it doesn’t take long to complete our tasks and then we can play. Ohiophotogrl says when we get things done we can go see a movie tonight. I gotta go I have cleaning to do!

Where has the time gone

Boy life sure goes by fast when you are trying o get spring cleaning done. In Ohio where we live we have had some great 60 degree days. We have had windows open and been getting rid of clutter. It’s amazing how fast a clean table can get cluttered up. 

This was before in the corner of thedinning room 


Now it’s a great tranformation


Everything is finding a home :0) thinknill take a break and get a milkshake at McDonalds!

The dreams I have

Do you ever wake up and wonder why you have the dreams you do…

In my dreams last night I was standing on the shore looking at what I thought was a pirate ship


I looked thru a telescope to see and I noticed that it was on fire! I waved my arms and yelled trying to let the people on the boat know that there was dry land over here 


Then I realized that X marked the spot


I woke up before I found out if anyone from the ship found land or if there were buried treasure under that X. Maybe I’ll get a nap and try to see if I can dream it again.

Do you have dreams like this?

We need an overhaul

So today ohiophotogrl and I worked in some new themes for the blog.


We spent an hour looking thru several till we locked in on this one. I like the yellow. It’s something we haven’t tried before and it makes me stand out :0)

Do you have a blog you would like us to check out? Let us know we would love to go see it. 

Do you aspire to be a blogger. Do it! It’s a lot like journaling but the whole wide world can see it!

Did you build a snowman

We had some snow last night and I got out there and built a snowman!


It sure was fun being outside but I didn’t stay out long. When I can back in Ohiophotogrl made me some hot cocoa and boy was it yummy!

What do you like to do on a snowy day?

Winter is showing itself 

Today we had a bit of snow in the 937.


It doesn’t seem to stop me and ohiophotogrl from getting out and getting stuff done :0)


I like when it’s light and fluffy like this. However I should go find my hat and scarf. It sure is cold out here. Please Remember to wear your coat, your hat, a scarf  and your gloves if you go outside in this stuff. You could get frost bite and that just doesn’t sound like any kind of fun.

What is frostbite you ask? 

Frostbite is an injury that is caused by exposure of parts of the body to the cold. The cold causes freezing of your skin and underlying tissues. Your fingers, toes and feet are most commonly affected.  If you feel cold let your parents know. Very important to keep warm.

I work out

I am trying to get in a routine so I can get more exercise. We have been watching out food portions! We have been walking more and I have been lifting weights.

As much as I love to play video games ohiophotogrl makes me turn off my game and go for a walk if it’s nice out. I like to walk. I get to see birds while I’m outside. If it’s cold we go to he mall to walk around.

We have been eating more veggies and we have cut almost all our soda pop out. I don’t know about you but I could drink a Dr Pepper with every meal. Not so much anymore. 

What do you do for exercise?

What to do with Sticky Notes

For Christmas Ohiophotogrl got lots of sticky notes…she does love them. I know for a fact that she has more different kinds than our local Office Depot lol


And that’s just the Christmas stash….there are two shoeboxes in the office full of them in every shape and color you can imagine.

What does she do with these wonderful sticky pieces of paper? She tags pages in cookbooks so she can find them again, she puts reminders on her keys so she doesn’t forget things, and she even leaves little sticky notes on mirrors to remind herself of things like….


I left that one for her to find this morning! She liked it a lot!

What do you use sticky notes for?

Elephant Poo Paper…OMG

See this really cool journal…well it is made up of a mixture of elephant dung (poo) and post consumer paper. The book says it was pulped to perfection by the elephants of Sri Lanka. Ohiophotogrl’s newphew picked this up for her at the zoo on his last trip.

It’s funny to me how boys of all ages think poo is funny. It’s wrapped in plastic and ohiophotogrl has been hestient to open the wrapper….heee heee

The back shows how it’s done


Makes

Me wonder how one can sanitize poo but then again, I’m sure I don’t wanna know.

Our local zoo carries these notebooks but there is a website on the back of the notebook you should check out http://mrelliepooh.com/
