The last few days

I wanted Miriam to practice answering questions using a graph at least one more time, so to keep things interesting for her we canvassed the neighborhood asking people what their favorite pet was.


I love her outfit.












Notice the shoes.


















Cowen shoveling in the sandbox. The boy sure does love to shovel.








I went down and sanded for two hours on Friday. It's a dusty job, but I'm impatient to get the kids back in their own rooms.


Yes, I'm fat.













This is why my life always seems pretty good to me. See the cute guy in the orange shirt? He's mine. He's a pretty great dad.















Timothy and Cowen were throwing a nerf ball at each other the other day. When they lost the ball in the boxes, Timothy said, "Don't worry Cowen, we can throw shoes at each other." Funniest thing I'd heard all day.









He's a pretty great horse.












This is Marc and Julie. Julie you'll recognize as my homeschooling buddy--mom of Ahnika and Ty. They came for a few hours this morning and sanded. They even did the ceiling! That's some serious service.














Julie embraced the dust. Got down with her dusty side. It was pretty hilarious.
