Cleaning Day

Christi had a couple nights away for a well-deserved break for her birthday. So, that meant Daddy, aka "Bob" ("Pop" with Brodie's accent), was in charge for cleaning day. Here each one explains his or her job for the day. When Mommy came home, there were no broken bones or missing limbs, which meant that it was a successful endeavor. However, everyone was truly glad to have Mommy home, because it just isn't the same without her!

Amazing Grace

The Bible says to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord." It doesn't say we need to be in tune :-)
We had a fun morning of singing in PJ's. At the end of Amazing Grace, Brodie wanted to sing "Jungle Balls" - better known as "Jingle Bells".

Discovery of the Whoopee Cushion

After getting sealants on their teeth at the dentist, Blaize and Brodie came home with the prize they chose - a whoopee cushion. Of course, they had to try it out on their sister after receiving meticulous lessons on placement for best effect.

What's for dinner? "Kitchen and Tomatoes!"

Tonight we had chicken and potatoes for dinner . . . pronounced a slightly different way :-)

An Encounter With The UPS Man

Upon arriving home from Wednesday night church, the kids happened to see the UPS man running to our front porch, drop off a package, and run back to the truck. They started laughing and laughing, thinking it was the funniest thing. As soon as they got out of the van, a few of them ran to the front door to mimic the UPS man while the others laughed hysterically. Here is a picture of Brodie doing his best high-speed UPS imitation.

Bike Riding 101

This video clip of pictures shows how our backyard was transformed into a bike riding acadamy . . . among other things.

Double Trouble!!!

Jon installed a gate for the door to our bedroom. Mommy needs to be able to go to the restroom without 7 children joining me! Within minutes of Jon setting up the gate, we saw our 2 three year old sons running towards our room. Brennan and Brayden had gone to get a step stool out of their bathroom. We found Brennan on the step stool trying to lift Brayden over the gate. They were not going to let a gate stop them from getting what they want! Looks like there will be a lot of mischief in their future!
