From Wednesday night

Now we can say that both of the older kids have played in bands with the younger kids. This night was Tabitha's night to join the Spirit Band with Amber and David.



Now sometime it would be great to have all 4 of them play together!

It's Time!!!

It's past time ~ it's OVERDUE!!!! It's time for one of our family famous

"Shut Out the World" parties!!!!!

Life has thrown us a few "curve balls" these past few months. So to save our sanity this is what we are going to do.

We are shutting off this:

And turning OFF the ringers to this:


And applying THIS rule:

And we are gonna P.A.R.T.Y.!!!!

And it may even continue to Saturday afternoon.

So please don't be offended if your phone calls go unanswered. If you want the members of the Anderson Family to continue to be happy and helpful ~ we NEED this time together!!

It's Wednesday....

...and we're all doing this!!! (And it's ALL your fault Kim!!!)



Please Friday ~ get here quickly!

Packing Peanuts!!

Ok, honestly I don't think I have ever let my own kids do this before. Grandparent rights, I guess :D Just put a box of packing peanuts in front of a 2 year old and sit back and watch what happens!


It starts out all innocent ~ "Look Daddy a peanut"


A little bit of dropping back into the box.


I LOVE the look on both of their faces. They are having tons of fun.


Getting a little bit more daring....


...turning into an all out TOSSING and RAINING of packing peanuts!

GIVE IT A TRY!! YOU'LL ENJOY THE GIGGLES! The mess isn't too bad to clean up either.

How do you feel?

This is how we are feeling around our house lately:

Found this on a great little blog called notebookdoodles. And it expresses thoughts and feelings perfectly!
