Chocolate and Radio

Well I'm doing it! I am eating chocolate and not watching TV but I am listening to the radio. lol
I am sitting on my ass on the computer right now. I could be taking a nap or doing something "productive" but at least this way I can keep an eye on my little people. And yell at them to get out of the bathroom.

Today we got up and made a bunch of corn for our home school group Thanksgiving feast.
We finished making brown paper bag Indian vests last night. They turned out great, but the kids wouldn't wear them.
So we went to group and had a good time and a great feast. I've got to get the recipe for the cranberry nut bread, mmm good.
So we came home and played outside/cleaned up the yard. Its gray and cold out and I feel really sleepy. I have no idea what I'm making for dinner.

On a side note Mr. E has started using the little potty!! Hip hip hurray!!
So we have entered the potty learning phase. I'm looking forward to it cause after he has learned there are no more diapers. But until then there will be a few (or a lot of )messes. Hopefully not too many on our carpet.
Ta Ta For Now........

I am Jodie, a woman living a life of leisure.
Because you know us moms who stay home just sit around all day watching TV and eating chocolate. I can't say I have never had a day like that, its just not typical. Besides we are one of those weird families that don't have TV. I guess I should say we don't have cable or satellite or a crazy antenna on the roof. I like to watch movies though and cartoons are like magic when I need to cook.:)
We are a family of four living in Alabama. We have a house and a yard and a white picket fence. We actually just finished making it white today.
My husband is Mr.Pirate. That's what I'll call him here anyway. He is a gamer. He is a hard working man. It seems he can fix anything. He is also chief dishwasher in our house. He is the one who painted/stained our fence white. Hey I helped some. Really I did.
Our daughter and first born is Miss K! She is 5.
Our son and second born in Mr.E! He is 2.
They are both wonderful helpers when they feel like it and when they don't, they end up helping anyway. Everyone helps out around here. Momma can't and shouldn't do it all herself.
We've just bought our first house this spring and we are slowly working on it.
That's it in the picture.
