Haircuts...

Riley, Eli, and Owen got their haircuts, but it looks as if they didn't really cut Owen's hair. He likes long hair because he wants to look like Anakin Skywalker. Arrgghh...

We eat a lot...

The kids and I made hamburger buns, hot dog buns, rolls, and five loaves of bread (and Eli, Scout, and Riley made their own creations with cinnamon chips), and the above will last us about six days. The good news is, it cost at most five dollars to make it all! How you ask? Grind your own wheat, and buy in bulk so you can get things wholesale.

Worship Time

Every night after dinner we sing praise songs to the Lord. And every night Eli is the first one to run and get Daddy's guitar from our room and sit down and "lead worship." Tonight he started us off with Amazing Grace, and he did a fantastic job!

Many afternoons you can hear him belting out a tune from his room upstairs. A few months ago he was doing his "business" in the bathroom, and just about as loud as his voice could possibly go, he was singing, "I'VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER, I'VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER, I'VE GOT PEACE LIKE A RIVER IN MY SOOOOOOOOOUL...." It was quite funny. It brings me so much joy to hear him singing throughout the day.

I love putting the boys to work!

Riley wants the 80's to make a comeback...
