Heidi made a huge Hoagie sandwich and Grant decided it was for him.  He ate quite a bit of it, lol.  I had to find her something else to eat.

April Fool’s from Aunt Erica

By Angela | Published: April 2, 2012

Ants on a Log

By Angela | Published: December 7, 2011
The boys made these all by themselves while I took a conference call.  There was peanut butter everywhere, but they sure were proud of their snack.  I thought it looked like more than any family could eat–but I managed, somehow .
