So here are a few of the highlights from this week:
Joshua had Texas Day at his school and he dressed up as a cowboy, sang songs, and danced (square and line). It was a cute program.
Elliott had fairy tale day (sorry no pictures of this one...I couldn't get to the school that day). He dressed up as a knight and had a good time making a gold crown with fruit loop jewels.
Beth and Jay had a nice singing session in the bedroom. Beth played a "drum" while Jay strummed away love songs and church hymns on the guitar.
Michael and Missy had a date watching movies and eating junk food in Michael's room. We watched Bolt, Bedtime Stories, and City of Ember. It was fun! We all especially laughed at Bedtime Stories. I was a little worried about it with Adam Sandler, but teamed up with Disney it was a great movie.
We invested in a wheat grinder. On Sunday we ground wheat and made our first all whole wheat bread from our food storage. Yes Mom, I finally got around to using it. Jay and I were amused to see how much the kids enjoyed grinding the wheat...especially Joshua who went on to grind the whole #10 can. He really got into it. My first loaf turned out really bad...it didn't rise. I guess I over kneaded it. The second loaf was much better. Next week I will experiment with a different bread recipe...maybe one that is a bit sweeter. If anyone has a really great one let me know.
I have really enjoyed my new camera. I am hoping we will have enough karate footage of us all to make a fun video to post for you all. Hope you enjoy the pictures and our little update.
