A Week in Our Life - Sunday

Luke went to a camp in at church Friday night (it was too cold for a camp out). Saturday evening I was two hours away taking Taylor to a game night with his homeschool friends, so my friend Contina picked up Luke and let him stay the night with Noah.

Contina told Luke she'd just keep him and homeschool him a few days, then drop him off when they were driving by our house on Wednesday. Luke told her, "That's fine. I've got my toothbrush." (What else do you need for three days of school, right??) We kinda missed the little guy, so I made him come home today.


When all the kids were little we always stopped by this straw bale maze each fall and let them burn off some energy. Taylor decided they needed to play in it again today. So while Mark was inside buying us some yummy chocolate-covered peanuts--







Here's a good Sunday sign--God Bless Catfish.


Luke got a new puppy this afternoon.



Tonight, while Mark did this-


And Taylor did this-


Luke tried to keep the puppy from whining and (after washing his hands) helped me make dough for several dozen gingersnaps for the freezer.


I also peeled and sliced a pan of apples. I've been wanting to experiment to see how well they freeze. I'll let you know in a few days.

Lee got back to school today after a weekend retreat for Academic Peer Advisors. I wondered how it went so I snooped around on facebook and found a few pictures. Here's one. Apparently she wasn't being too careful with her injured foot.
