Words from Wyatt.

While under the chair at the kitchen table playing with Luke's "Duck Duck Dynasty" toy: "I learned about cold, warm, hot, none and gray volcanoes. Remember? At the doctor's office."

As I'm holding him tonight before bed he says to me: "I love you. And I love your face. I love your nose. I love your eyebrows. I love your chin. I love your forehead. I love your eyes. I love your hair. I love your mouth. I love your tongue. I love your teeth. I love your eyebrows. I love your arms. I love your hands. I love your fingers. I love your legs. I love your feet. I love your eyebrows. I love your shirt. I love your pants." And a few moments later, "Mom, I wish I had schoolwork."

Something we should all be doing!

While Dade was at his guitar lesson...

We explored the bell tower,

walked through the tunnel, and discovered plants, trees and their seeds on the LeTourneau campus.

Funny faces!

Our Chef,

making his perfect bowl of homemade cinnamon banana oatmeal. When has asked me how much oatmeal to put over the banana, I told him that I just "eyeball it" and explained to him what that meant. Of course, he already knew what it meant -- "the Pioneer Woman does that, too," he said!

At Josh's party...

Family, swimming, hamburgers, hot dogs, Dallas Cowboys cake, cotton candy and an inflatable obstacle course... what a day!

Garage Sales.

The kids decided to have several garage sales over the past week. They even made signs to attract customers. Most of their business came from each other and most everything was "1 cent or more." It has been fun to watch them working together to make money!
