This Week's Fun

Okay, having six kids in the house is more work than I had previously thought.  I haven't had much time to sit down and blog, but now that everybody is at school (and it's too cold to do anything else), the turkey is in the oven, and the little ones are laying down -- here I go.

I just thought this picture was cute.  The boys dressed the same on accident.  Now I've just got to get Joey a flannel shirt, and we'll have a trio of lumberjacks:



Grace stayed at Grandma Jane's house last Friday (again -- she really likes sleepovers), and they went shopping before coming home.  One of their purchases was this "back scratcher".  However, Matthew picked it up and thought it was just a big toothbrush.  He found out that it wasn't a very comfortable one.



And I tried my first attempt (and probably the last) at fondant.  I had no idea what I was doing, and it took a really long time.  My arms are still sore from kneading.  Haley was not very supportive.  She said it looked like a rainbow threw up on my cake, or something like that.



I've been messing around with my camera for my photography class.  I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing, so I'll throw in a couple of random pictures of Sunday night dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house.




We heard hysterical laughter coming from downstairs at my parents' house, so Ben went to investigate.  These two riffraffs were so proud of themselves for getting the elliptical machine to go all by themselves.  They thought it was very funny.
