Hehe. I just posted a pic of my freezer a few days ago. Yours looks much healthier than mine.

B&P,

I saw your freezer and was a little jealous. Only one measly box of mint chocolate chip here.

That is hysterical!

Pretty funny. We used to have a snowball (for use in July) and a piece of hail (to show Grandma) but last week I discovered several sunflower seeds embedded in the ice... because they looked like Lord of the Rings figures and because frozen sunflower seeds taste good. Your freezer is so nice and defrosted! I'm impressed. Be sure to check out my site. It's your turn!

Kathy,

The Lord of the Rings, huh? My son (the one who created this -80 degree sauna) would love to see that. In fact, he wants to know which Lord of the Rings figures.

too funny. I love kids imaginations. I have a picture of a bunch of plastic princess dresses with crayon heads.
I read you all the time and I'm inspired

Kate, LOL - my son has entirely too vivid an imagination. Maybe sunflower seeds look like hobbits? Frodoflower seeds, Pippinflower seeds... BTW, your son might like to know that we are doing a year-long unit study on Lord of the Rings. I'll let you know if we overdose on orcs and elves before the year is up!

That is so great! I loved it. I love the random things like this I find all over the house.

Artistic Expression and Faith

A few days ago, I came across a post called Of Books and Faith written by Beck at Frog and Toad are Still Friends ( The best blog name EVER to my mind.) She writes about how the Christian market is saturated with mediocre books. How few fiction authors there are who really grapple with the messiness of humanity from a Christian perspective. I agree with her whole-heartedly. The Christian life does not come with the lack of conflict and the happily-ever-after resolutions that I find in many books of this genre. It's funny that I came across that post because I had been thinking similar thoughts about another form of Christian expression. Art. Christian art is often either poorly rendered or is just too pretty. It lacks creativity. It doesn't engage the mind. Remember when I made that long trek to Hobby Lobby for stencil supplies? That was where this idea started to form. I spent a few minutes flipping through posters. Flip. Glowing Jesus in a meadow. Flip. Glowing Jesus surr...

4-H Exhibits-Updated

Update: Blue ribbons all around! 4 of our projects will go onto the state fair. John's headboard exceeds size limitations and so we will lug it home tomorrow. We are relieved. That thing is heavy! ************* For the past few weeks we have been busy sewing, sawing, quilling and painting 4-H projects. The kids have been in 4-H for about a month and they started with a bang. The annual 4-H fair is tomorrow. So this morning we loaded these projects and four kids wearing slippers into the car. The fifth one had sense enough to wear flip-flops. (The other four complained as we pulled out of the driveway that their feet were sweating.) John reclining against the headboard that he built with Stuart. He wrote the 10 Commandments of Table Saw Safety to accompany this project. Claire's quilling project. Lauren modeling the apron that she sewed. Lauren and the dog painting she has been working on in art class for the past few months. Faith and her quilling project. So now...

The Ice Cream Parlor

The Tooth Fairy doesn’t come to our house. Not because of any deep seated anti-Tooth Fairy angst. I'm just a tradition rebel. When each child looses his first tooth, we leave the rest of the pack at home and take the newly toothless one out for ice cream. This was easily accomplished when all of the children were young and the ice cream parlor was ten minutes away. We realized this simple tradition had become more complicated when Claire’s first tooth came out in my palm. The big guys don’t need a baby sitter. The little ones do. Kid combinations are such that we can’t leave them all home alone without outside supervision. Add in the drive time to and from the nearest soft serve establishment and we’re looking at three hours. Just for a quick trip to get ice cream! What to do? “I know, Mama! We can drive to the grocery store and get ice cream and eat it in the car!” “I don’t know. The thought of eating cold ice cream in the car in a hurry in January isn’t my idea of a da...
