READING! READING! READING!

I know I have said it before, but I love having a houseful of readers!!! I love it that I can tell everyone to go grab a book for some down time and everyone enjoys doing it! These were all taking within minutes of each other.


Jack likes to walk through the house reading. Good solution for boys that don't like to sit still long enough to read!! ;-)

Emma likes to curl up on the couch!

And Creed might not be reading yet, but he sure does love books!!! I think we are going to wear out Brown Bear, Brown Bear!

A Jack Funny and Two Pictures

This morning Jack's leg was still asleep or a bit stiff or something and he was having trouble walking. He said, "Hold on a minute; my leg is still processing."





I was going to use this as a Wordless Wednesday but I felt the need to say that he dragged that stool over there all by himself. He is getting just a bit too comfortable and possessive of the stool.


And sometimes you just need a nap!

Just Because

A Jack Funny

Jack: Mom! It is sidelopped.
Me: I think you mean lopsided.
Jack: giggle...oh yeah!

Christmas Craft #3 and bonus

I finally finished the advent calendar for 2009. Thanks to everyone that gave me red scraps for it. Each pocket is lined with a different fabric as well. Bible verses from Luke will go in this one. I have no clue why a playmobile pirate flag got placed in #24 or why I didn't notice it before I took the picture.
Then thanks to Andrea T. for the inspiration, I made this bucket out of a coffee bean bag. It has a circular bottom with a diameter of 14 in and the height is 11 in. It was going to be a gift but seeing as how I made the thing so that all the writing is upside down!!!! it is now mine and it looks esp nice housing all my red fabrics. ;-)

Random pictures from our day...

We had a rather busy Saturday today and everyone accomplished something.

Her is Anne Michal with her granola that she made. We forgot to double it so will have to make more very soon.
Elizabeth made toffee for her Sunday School party tomorrow.





I put my crockpot to work making yogurt.


And this is my new BFF. Elizabeth adn Emma named her Ruby. She helped me make vegetable soup today.

Emma wanted to make some Christmas ornaments for her Sunday School teachers.





Creed is excellent at making a mess and does his job well.
And we never have to worry about dehydration with him because he drinks plenty of water. He kept switching cups.

And this is a hint of the advent calendar that will hopefully finish very soon!




And if you wonder where Jack wa and what he was doing, he mostly just laid low recovering from a stomach bug, but he did read the directions to Anne Michal for making the granola. I thought that was pretty cool, but didn't get a picture!
