Pinterest, I heart You

Once again Pinterest amazes me! Here are our new (and cheap) bookshelves! They are great and made from plastic RAIN GUTTERS!!! They are perfect for the boys "Bunk Room"!!!!

The Hubs did ALL the work I just picked out the gutters (from Lowes) and bossed told him where I wanted them. He did ALL the work. I have NO idea the details of how he did it, that is why he IS the engineer and I am the Mom, ha!


I DO think they turned out SUPER SUPER cute!!! Yay, for the boys room being more or less FINISHED before baby Hen Hen gets here on Thursday!!


{The "pin" of the idea}
{The blog with the details}

Have a Blessed week and lets remember the men and women who have fought and gave their lives for our freedom and please keep their families in your prayers. Thank you to those who are fighting for us this Memorial Day. So thankful for them and their families. God Bless

Flat Caroline in Alaska

My cute, sweet, smart, and darling niece, Caroline, read a book in school called "Flat Stanley." It is a cute book about a boy who gets flattened and goes on many adventures. Carolines class made "Flats" of themselves and were to send them to family or friends who do not live in their town or state. MY cute Caroline picked to send hers to the North Pole to visit her Auntie and the other Eskimos! We had so much fun!! Of course being a teacher and an over achiever I had to do more then JUST send pics. SO I had Flat Caroline keep and make a scrapbook diary. We are also sending some Alaska stickers, Alaska chocolate rocks, and Alaska pencils that we got on Amazon, shh! :) Here is a sneak peak of what we are mailing back tomorrow! I was KINDA sad to have to take Flat Caroline out of my hospital bag! It was so fun! I sure hope I get an "A". OH John was AMAZING with this, due to Auntie on bed rest, he was in charge of the outings and photographs! Such a sweet uncle!!

Hard Baked Eggs and Egg Molds!

My children are OBSESSED with hard baked eggs! I mean OBSESSED! They can go through a carton of eggs in a few days! SO, I now had the excuse to buy these CUTE egg molds off Amazon!! Here is how to use them! {This batch I used "Large" eggs BUT I think the "Jumbo" would have been MUCH better}The boys loved them anyways and ate these FOUR after dinner, AFTER dessert....They love them I tell you.

Bake your eggs, using a mini muffin tin
 In the oven on 350 degrees for 30min
{oven temp and time may vary}
Once eggs are finished they may have brown spots on them but that is OKAY!
Place baked eggs in an ice bath for 10min {this will wash off their spots and stop the cooking}
Now you can peel the eggs or save them in the fridge!!

EGG MOLD TIME!
Bake the eggs as stated above BUT DO NOT give them the ice bath YET!!


Open up these cute molds.

Once the eggs are baked
Peel the eggs under cool water and place in the mold
{eggs should STILL be warm when placed in mold}

Close up the molds and place in a
cold/ice water bath for 10min
After 10min open up your molds and there you GO
 a CUTE fish and a car!!
{Don't mind the fish, he got attacked by the shell!}
My boys loved them and when they are ready to eat, I cut them in half and dash some Tony Chachere's on top, then cut in bite size bites!

I learned about the "Hare Baked Eggs" from Pinterest! From The Burlap Bag blog

Meet Baby Hen-Hen: In the Tummy

Update: I just got back from the Dr. I am at an 80% and dilated to a 1. SO, I am still on bed rest and the Dr. asked if mom would stay another week. Dr. said if I take it easy for the next week I should be okay for another two weeks. Mom was to leave on Sunday so now she is thinking about just staying until Hen gets here instead of coming back the end of the month. I know many women have stayed at a 1 for weeks SO I pray I will be the same. BUT Tiny came at 36 and Paps at 37 SO you never know! Back to bed (I did get the ok to take Tiny to and from school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, whew!)
Sweet Boy at 33/34 weeks, he looks JUST like his brothers!
17/18 weeks

26/27 weeks

29/30 weeks

34/35 weeks
Keeping our fingers crossed he stays in for at LEAST 2 more weeks!!!
