Family Time

We had a good weekend, besides my sinuses acting up. :( I was supposed to see the midwife on Saturday, but she went out of town for the weekend. Which is fine with me. There is a lady that lives a couple of blocks from me that is due in a few weeks. So...if she has her baby early my midwife could just stop by here instead. Anyway....I wanted to share some pictures about our weekend.

Here is a picture of my wonderful Hubby reading books with Big T, Sweet E, and Little E. Isn't it precious! The children love books and always enjoy being read to.

We made biscuits for dinner last night and the children helped me. Sweet E wanted to cut all the biscuits out and put them in the pan herself. Of course...that caused a conflict because Big T wanted to do it too!

Here is a picture of all three of us working on the biscuits.

Here is a picture of Big T finally getting a chance to cut out a few biscuits of his own. I realized that I need to let the children help me more in food preparation. It is "easier" when they are out of the way, but then they don't learn anything. So, I am trying my best to let them help out more. It is amazing what children can do when you give them the chance. Well...I am off to start my laundry and let my children help. Blessings to all!
**UPDATE: God has blessed us with unexpected funds to help fix one of our vehicles! Praise the Lord! Now I won't have to be without the van!

Melanie, I LOVE the pictures, especially the one of Brian and the children.

Looks like you were having fun making biscuits.

Give them all a big hug from me.

Dearest Melanie, Darling,

I am glad to hear about the unexpected blessing from the Lord. It just reinforces His word, doesn't it? He is too good to us! :-D

In Christ,

Mrs. M.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
