A Quick Update

I may be getting this Blogger thing down!  I think that it may be easier in the long run!  I just wanted to update everyone on how things in the Teche household is going.  Jared is now done with his Public Speaking class and is glad to be done!  I am getting ready to finish up my first semester.  Next week is the last week of classes and then the week after is finals.  I can not wait for a little bit of not doing homework!  The boys are almost done with school as well.  They counted and only have  eighteen days left!

We are going to be gardening again this year.  We actually have two plots at the Community Garden and one at home.  We hope to up our production this year so we have enough to can this summer. 

With all of in school things that we used to do a lot have gone away.  This summer we are going to bring them back.  There will be bike rides, games, relaxing, and fun!  We are planning a vacation when the kids get out of school!  We will have some time as a family and I for one am excited.  We are planning on spending a few days at Mall of America and see all that they have to offer.  Then we will be driving to Mt. Rushmore with a stop at Wall Drug on the way!  Sounds like so much fun!!!

Well, there you have it!  What we are up to.  Once school is out for me I will update the blog more often!

                          And I leave you with a picture of a clean Ethan and a tired kitty!

A Great Idea!

I always keep a two gallon jug full of Crystal Light in my fridge at all times.  The boys and I will drink it more if it is cold and in the two gallon size I don't have to make it three times a day in the summer.  The problem is that once you get some out and move your glass away the nozzle drips a bit.  I hate to clean up the bottom of my fridge, or any other part of my fridge for that matter.  So I cut a soda bottle so it can hang on the nozzle and catch the drips!  I was very impressed with myself, and it took less than two minutes to do it!  I found this idea on Pinterest!  I love that site!

 The cut bottle already catching drips!

                       The bottom of my fridge, I hope it never looks like that again!

Last Concert

Last week was Kellen's last Elementary Band Concert.  I only teared up a little bit so I think that that is a win!  I love hearing how all the instruments sound together.  At home all I hear is one part of the song.  Most of the times without the rest of the instruments I have a rough time telling what song is being played.  I am not a musically talented person, and I am okay with that.

 

                                              There is Kellen ready to play

                                                        Kellen playing

                                                               More playing.

They played the Star Spangled Banner at the beginning and did that really well.  They ended the concert the way that bands in Wisconsin always end their concerts with On Wisconsin!!!

I have to tell you that they changed blogger on me and I am not that used to it yet.  So expect some weirdness until I get a handle on it.
