The oldest has been in cathecism since school began in August. During Lent he was given a "Rice Bowl" to fill with the money he would have spent on meals during the time he is fasting. He has collected change from all over the house for this project.
The other night there was some change on the table:
"Dad can I have this change"
"No" says dad
"Dad, I need this change to feed the poor"
Guess where the change ended up??

How does it go by so fast?
Anyone reading this knows that time flys by and you just seem to watch it. I can't believe it has been so long since I last wrote. The house is crazy busy and I sit here every couple months and wonder how we made it through.
The youngest made binoculars out of toliet paper tubes in school yesterday, looks outside into the clouds and says "Snow Clouds" - genius :) The snow continues to fly today and to know he predicted the weather is just a great feat for him. This is the same child who woke up one day in the past few weeks and just "gets" it. For the longest time he couldn't tell you what letter he was looking at. This week he walks around with his word box spelling the words in it - N I N E "Mom I know all the letters" Amazing as a parent to watch him finally get it.
Thank you for listening to a proud parent today!!

Today
Today we had 6 eggs all at one time. That is huge compared to the 2 or 3 a day that we usually have. We clipped the wings of the chickens who think they are free range so they don't get out and get taken by the racoons that we can't seem to get rid of. We have relocated 18 raccons so far this summer. Beautiful animals if they stay in the woods.
I love playing Farmville on Facebook - but should have realized that my own yard does not work the same. I had to mow down most of the garden today since it has gotten away from me. Nick's surgery sure put a change in plans this summer. The boys did get two beautiful perfect red tomatoes from the garden today, along with some eggplant, green peppers and carrots. It hasn't been a total lose.
I also found out today that the best shower cleaner found to date is the $7.00 a bar oatmeal soap that my 6-year old has to use. I was amazed at the oatmeal in the shower and the dirt on my son still.
I have been taught so many things by my children - again priceless.
Enjoy your summer and thank you for reading what is a normal day in the household.

I love today
This morning we caught the 8th racoon in our chicken yard. I can't believe we have had to take so many out of that yard.
I watched in amazement at my 4-year old as he played on the computer. He played Cailou and Curious George and his little hands on the mouse were amazing. He did so good and I was so proud of him.
The oldest had his last art class at the library today and wanted to sign up for the kids art class in Algonac. I was so proud that he wanted to take that step all on his own. Not to mention that I picked him up off the floor really quick this afternoon and he yells "OMG" - it's amazing living in this house that he would even know what that means. It was hysterical.
I am exhausted from today and the list of things to do for tomorrow but I love today.
