Our New Sandbox

I chose the sandbox picture for the start of our family's blog because it was such a fun day. The boys (which refers to all 5 of the boys in our family) and I enjoyed building the sandbox and shoveling sand from the trailer to the little trailer behind the lawnmower. As soon as it was complete the boys were busy burying each other. It was a fun Saturday project.

Happy Halloween

I love that Brandon is a good sport to be a Hippie with me. I knew he was fun when I married him. I loved Jacob's mustache! Jackson was Jessie James (yes mom I sewed the vest, she made us cool costumes as kids), Joshua as we were walking out the door decided he wanted to be a bank robber like his big brother. Jeremy was a mummy. That was a hard one to do and required a ton of safety pins.

Happy "Crazy Hair Day"

Today is Crazy Hair Day at school for red ribbon week. Everyone had fun with the paint this morning, even teddy got orange hair. Jackson's grade is doing "book reports" and gets to dress up as a famous American, so he chose Jessie James. Halloween is outlawed in our school, and I'm not really against it, if the schools are going to err, I would like it to be on the side of keeping too much evil out of the schools. I will give up halloween at school to keep the moment of silence to pray or meditate that they get each morning.

I am a Child of God

This Sunday was our Primary program. I thought I would post the boys singing for the Grandparents. They did a great job on Sunday and were a lot more reverent at the front of the chapel than they were for me at 8:00 at night in the dining room.

498

How is it that after a rough day, winning a game of Scrabble seems to make everything right?

This board was Brandon's 498. I had the record at 335 until he killed it one night.
