Friday Fun

Fridays are our favorite day for so many reasons.  With Christmas around the corner, we are getting into the spirit with some fun crafts and activites.  Today , we wrote stories and made special cards for Nana..it is her 73rd birthday on Sunday!!  We hope she will enjoy her little package. 

 The older children were also working on a project for history.  They had to build early Egyptian houses..they were really creative with what they did.  I just gave them their time limit and let them go..it turned out to be really fun for them.  Trenton even used his new skill in lashing to make a bed for his "little" people!! 

Abbie decided to cut her hair AGAIN!! I guess she was a little bored?  This time she took a little bit more risk!  I was inside finishing the ,morning chores and she had gone out to the schoolroom with the older kids.  When I came in I noticed this pile of hair on the floor.  I just looked at her.."What did you do?"  And then I see chunks of hair dangling down her back.  I reach for it and this whole handful falls to the ground.  Oh my!  She was trying to frame her face or something and did one heck of a bowl cut in the front.  Good thing she has thick hair and a lot of it.  But it's not all bad, I trimmed a little to make it even, and now I get to put pretties in her hair everyday to cover up the cut!  She readily agreed to mommy's provisions!!

Martin, Trenton, and Grandpa LeRoy went hunting again.  They still have not brought anything home.  I think maybe they are milking their time out a little..just kidding!  They are hunting on some private land, a friend of LeRoy's, who also happened to be the guy who taught Trenton his hunter's safety class.  (Life in a small town.)  So, their plans are to be gone until Wednesday.  Hopefully they will get something this weekend.  Our freezer is running a little low.  Don't want to stock it too full and then they bring home this huge animal and we have no where to put it!! 

They left with Doritoes, crackers, candy,. some summer sausage, and cheese!!  I asked what else thye were gonna eat.."oh we'll figure it out later"...the differences between men and women.  We would have baked a cake, several casseroles, and all of the snacks would be ready to go in cute little dishes..no mind that we would be out in the woods..right? 

It's late and I still need to exercise.  Gotta work off that piece of cheesecake from earlier!!
