Today is…Monday July 18 2011
We had friends over this morning—Two very sweet girls!
My boys acted like animals—literally (we had a book with a game about acting like animals):
My boys had a lesson in baby care:
They read stories (of course!)
We had a Gospel Message on the law of the harvest. I was tickled when I asked Giant which seeds grew fast, and which ones grew slowly, and he answered me with no prompting! (Radishes grow fast, Carrots and Squash grow slowly). The kids also thought it was hilarious when I asked them if you could grow apples from pumpkin seeds or beans from corns seeds etc. We talked about how this applies to us:
Then, using free child labour, I sent the kids to work in the garden:
While I played with someone cute and pink:
It was so hot the kids only lasted about 15-20 minutes outside.
We went back inside to play Crazy Eights!
And make some biscuits (They’d decided that since the sweet girl in the middle was the oldest, she should have the longest apron 😉 Though they did trade around a bit after that…):
They took turns adding ingredients, stirring it up, and kneading the dough:
(No, of course my son is not crouching on the counter. Why do you ask?)
And, of course, cutting the biscuits into cutesy little shapes:
Thanks for visiting, girls! You were an absolute joy!
After they went home, Giant told me it was time to wear his eyepatch. And he reminded me that the eye doctor said he should wear his eyepatch while he played computer games…
It’s a conspiracy.
