colors of paint! The brother in laws arrived and Preston gave me an early Birthday present. We're kind of funny that way. Some of us are really early, some right on time and some are given with Christmas presents:). We started of the day with some delicious Applesauce pancakes. One of these days we'll make the apple cider syrup too. There was a lot of excitement and a lot of noise! Here's the quiet version with pictures...

The kids were really crazy to start off with, probably because they had a bigger audience, but it was really good once they settled down. For lunch we had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. I would never have imagined myself eating tomato soup, but I've come to enjoy dipping my grilled cheese in it:). For supper we had homemade Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, cabbage rolls, braided bread and a delicious chocolate zucchini cake for dessert.
It's 4 minutes to 8 and all the kids are asleep. There's family to visit with, so I'll sign off for now.
What fun having the family together and a bigger audience for the kids' bible story enactments!
ReplyDeleteMeleah~ I love your idea of acting out Bible stories. We actually tried it here today and it was hilarious. Steve was Samson with a head full of yarn for hair. LOL ;0) I think it's a great idea to get kids to really remember the stories from the Bible. I'll try to post pics on my blog when I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Lora. It's nice to have that time in the evening be both consistent and have fun with it. It's definitely something that the kids remember. Our kids are starting to remind us of some of the stories and they remember a lot of the more difficult names too. It would be fun to see the pics:).
