Tackle It Tuesday – Cleaning off kitchen table
Yes.. it’s time to clear the kitchen table again!.. or as I call it.. “Life’s Staging Area”..
Wish me luck.. the girls are in a mood today and spilling everything.. EVERYWHERE!
Oh yea.. that large clear part of the table.. that is where the latest spill happened and why I have deemed March 9, 2010 as “Clean the Kitchen Table Morning”.. 
Promise I’ll have something a little more interesting to blog about later..
Promise.

Thief at the house…
OH yes… we have a thief among us here at Camp Maple Creek..
wonder who it could be..
Any guesses?? Hahahaha
They raid the front feeder every evening before dark.. well every evening since the feeder outside the girls’ window ran out of food they stole from the birders.. this morning there was a Cardinal at the feeder BUT he flew away when I stuck my camera out the curtains.. WHOOPS..
OUTSIDE!!!
Well, the girls still have a little lingering cough. 
Autumn more so than Haley.. AND Autumn STILL has a tiny sniffle hanging in there.. but despite all of that we went outside to play!!!
The girls were sooo very happy.. of course Haley fell in the mudd in the first 5 minutes but it wasn’t a big splash and only on one of her knees and they had snow boots on so we stayed outside… watch.. she’ll be sick again tomorrow.. hahahaha
Anyway.. here are the pictures.. oh yea.. Haley says she saw a horse in the clouds.

Out of the house FINALLY
Well we left the house today!!! Autumn still coughing and sneezing but we got out of the house!!!
We went to Sam’s Club, PETCO, Target and Wegman’s.. we haven’t been grocery shopping in like 3 weeks!! Well, Mike has stopped at the store a couple times but to get dinner stuff and basic stuff but not to get grocery, groceries…
Anyway.. the girls were pretty good until leaving Target. They were hungry for lunch and it was still going to be another hour or so away because we needed to stop at Wegman’s for the real food items. So we had snacks and headed to Wegman’s.
So 3 hours later we were home.. the girls got dropped off at Gram’s for lunch while mommy and daddy emptied the car and put the mountain of food away!
When we went to pick-up the girls they were all sitting in the covered porch area.. hahahaha.. girls wrapped in blankets but they fell in the WET grass.. so much for getting better.. HAHAHA
After their pants dried we went home and went to bed early.. We had a LONG day!
WEATHER : High 54° and sunny
Girls Still Sick
The girls are still coughing and sniffling, no co-op for us. :( Hopefully we will all feel up to going out of the house tomorrow! I mean com’on daddy has the weekend off!
On a happier note.. the girls LOVE their new cameras!
vtech Kidizoom cameras!
So for Christmas 2008 the girls got these vtech Kidizoom cameras..
.. at least I think it was Christmas, might have been their birthdays.. either way.. they got this cameras and LOVED being like mommy and taking pictures but they also fell in love with the GAMES.. so when one broke and we had to return it to get it fixed they fought over the remaining camera.. and well when the broken one couldn’t be fixed and we didn’t replace it they really fought over the camera.
I did try to replace with another brand camera but there were no games.. So that camera just sat and sat.. at least I didn’t pay full price!
Anyway, I FINALLY got a replacement camera.. well cameraS through ebay this week. I showed the girls the ORANGE cameras and they agreed orange was okay because they really wanted the games! I had to get two of the same color because even on ebay I couldn’t find another pink (however this morning I’ve found one).
Here they are opening their second package in two days!! Can you say..
HAPPY CAMPERS!
.. even in orange…
Country Vanilla Ice Cream!

For June..
