Girls Day

Seeing as how it is the first day of the deer hunt and Joe drew out on a tag this year, the hunters are gone for the day. Since it is just the girls home we decided to do our own mini spa day. We did homemadefacials and hair treatments. That means we have radiant skin and soft hair in a warm home while the boys are dirty and cold!

Our Clogger

Samantha has been clogging for about a month now and loves it! She finally has her little clogging outfit and her shoes. She starts to remind me on Monday or Tuesday about her lessons which aren't until Thursday!

Science Project

Veronica's class learned about volcanoes then made their own volcanoes to take to school and set off. She wanted me to post the pictures that Joe took at school on eruption day.

For Sale

Well, we did it! After ten years of living here we put our house up on the market. It is a little bit sad, after all, we brought all five of our kids home to this house. We love this house but either it is getting a bit small or we are getting too big! But we are excited about the future and the changes that will happen when the house sells and when Joe finishes school in May. We have always been blessed about being guided about what we need to do for our family and am grateful for those little promptings that help guide us to where we need to be and what we need to be doing.

Diaper Duty

This happened a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share. I was in the middle of finding some paperwork when I looked around the corner to see what Brenna and Braelynn were doing. Both my sense of sight and smell caught up with me at the same time. I smelled the telltale messy diaper smell at the same time I saw Braelynn lying on the floor with Brenna taking off Braelynn's diaper! Much to my relief, it was Brenna that had the messy diaper.
I am curious to know if Braelynn was just on the floor and Brenna decided to play with the diaper or there was something more to it, if by chance they had seen mom do it so many times that they decided to try it.

Our Fall Tradition

Every year, as one of our traditions for Halloween we go to Paragonah, a small town about 20 minutes away, to the Judd pumpkin patch and pick pumpkins. It is one of my favorite things to do as a family and I look forward to it every year. It is a beautiful drive and a good time to enjoy my husband and kids. Brenna picked up a small, squishy pumpkin and would not let it go (the one she has in her hand in the family picture). She just held it in one arm and held my hand with the the other and walked all over the pumpkin patch that way!

Touchdown!

Tyler joined flag football this year and has had a great time. Being one of the fastest runners on the team, he was quite often the running back. He was able to make a few touchdowns and score some extra points. After his first game, he came up to me and said "mom, now I just know football is my sport".
