Week N

It's been a week that was hard to find inspiration for. We focused on Numbers a little just 1-10 and will continue those. We had some fun Bible stories Naaman the leper, Noah and the ark, and Nehamiah the cup-bearer. Our verse ended up being : Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name, under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
We held up four fingers as we were saying the reference to help remember what the number was and Phi made it part of his routine when he said it in Sunday School much the other kids amusement.
We also had Noodles and Nuts (pistachios) but no pictures of them. We talked about Neighbors and Necks. We focused on Noses and Nostrils ...because all three boys had a cold all week. :P And one night while I was busy making supper Phi and Leroy began conducting scientific experiments of their own.
Phi's involved seeing what would happen if you took all the screws out of the door handle ...

and surrounding fixtures.

Leroy on the other hand decided to see at what ratio toilet paper would exceed the amount of water in a quart jar if the jar was half full. Brilliant! :) Sad to say his mother cut his experimenting short, since we need TP for more useful things... (we actually got some TP free this week thanks to Aunt Cornelia and her coupon sharing. Along with lots of diapers for only 2.99 per 30 down from $13.99-$9.99 the usual prices)

We worked on the New fence project.

Dug up some Night crawlers the only critter we could think of besides Newt.

And found these Nasty little spiders crawling out of the old fence boards. EEEW they still sorta give me the shudders, they're so creepy looking. Thankfully they were very slow crawlers and not the speedy ones that are places you don't want them before you can get away.

They acted and looked very much like crabs minus the pinchers so I call them crab spiders but have yet to look them up. That's a finger for size.

The little men enjoying the yard inspite of the weather.

Finding strange things to amuse themselves.

Very strange, he used to be afraid of heights but seems to be overcoming that one.

And for Sunday morning we dressed up Nicely.

And had our morning coffee to keep us feeling Normal. :)
Actually that's his berry breakfast smoothie in a coffee cup. I did it that way for them a while back to help keep it from being so messy and now they don't like it any other way of course.

So we're just passed half way there, still enjoying it and finding it a challenge to keep working it in. No breaks aloud or we may just not get started again. :) On to O and lots of packing and painting.

We're Back!

We've been running hither and yon for the last few weeks and I think things are finally slowing down (maybe, if I say that some thing is sure to come up.) We were in Irvine California for a week while My Luv went to school for work. We ended up in Shadow Hills for their All day meeting and got to meet Glenda and her kiddos. It was like meeting a friend since we've been reading each other's blogs for awhile now. Anyway we came home to peaches to be canned and apples to be made into apple sauce and beans to be picked and canned from some friends garden. My Luv's back has been having problems since he got home so has had multiple visits to the chiropractor. And then the Beach get together was this last weekend and to make it a little more complicated we decided to camp with Dave and Jenn at Nehalem Bay for Friday night. So fun and the weather was perfect. I have picture from some of this that I'd love to share so will try to post those some time soon. Today we're off to have lunch with Grandma Cedarland whose in town visiting and has a birthday this month. After that the pears are ripe at the these guys farm and they are graciously sharing them again this year, so we hope to go pick some for canning. That pretty much sums up the last few weeks hopefully there will be pictures to follow soon.
