Mom's Message Board

I bought myself a white board and hung it in the kitchen. The kids labeled it "Mom's Message Board." I always start the note with the first initial of the person, then a colon, then the note. Sunday after church I looked up and saw this note, written by Bekah. Too funny! I love the "D,M,R" at the beginning of this note, standing for "Dad, Mom, and Rebekah," followed by the reminder "Go to Baptism Preview tonight." I laughed and laughed when I saw this! She is definitely learning my "code":-)

Eve and Bekah were invited to a bowling birthday party, so we decided to join in on the fun (in the next lane.) Porter invited his friend Kyle Brantley, and we made a day of it. I was happy that I knocked ANY pins down, and decided I like bowling with the bumpers on MUCH better. I'll happily bowl with my younger kids just to have the bumpers:-)

Crafting Girls

Bekah, Jane, and Eve are always coming up with a craft idea-- like daily. I hardly ever take pictures of all they create, but decided I need to do that more. One day Bekah decided she wanted a mailbox outside of her bedroom door. She was quietly working in the craft room for an hour or so, and then the next thing I knew, she really did have a mailbox outside her bedroom door! Look at the detail in this! She has the little black tab at the top to hold it shut and everything! Over the next couple of days, Eve and Jane also made their mailboxes. They are so funny!
