Oh no!

This morning at breakfast Heidi was counting her fingers and all she could come up with was 9! We had her check her pockets to see if she had left one in there. she stuck her hand in and said no fingers in there. Then the next time she counted she had only 8!
We're hoping she finds them soon.;)

TODAY

I,
...Made a baked pudding for breakfast- and forgot the sugar!
...laughed- When we came home this evening as soon as we opened the doors on the truck the neighbor girl asked, "could we keep her."

Derek,
...Had to rush off to work but in civilian clothes so the kids were rather confused!

Molly,
...Bought knives with her own money. (And then miss used her privilege and I had to take them away for a few days.:( )

Heidi,
...Got to have a friend over to play.

Lars,
...Played duck, duck, goose- all by himself!

We did go on a vacation!

Here is a small sampling of the pictures we took while on vacation!(I have posted many more on facebook!) The top picture is of us at my favorite place to visit. We hiked through the woods to a really cool mountain of fallen GIANT rocks.
At the WWII memorial in Washington DC.
Riding on our cousins pony. Lars and Heidi really loved to get to ride it.
We got to see family. What can be better than being with family in the great outdoors?
Some of us got to meet new friends. (One of us got to see old friends!)

My recent project

Today I made some little backpacks for Heidi and Lars. (I didn't make one for Molly 'cause she already has one.)
I made them from some denim pant legs from some old jeans of mine. then sewed on some decor from rags or scraps of materiel I had on hand. Than for the straps I used 550 cord.

Derek's recent project

This past weekend Derek made a Banjo type instrument from a coffee can and some wood we had in the garage.
Isn't it really cool?!

At last

This is Derek with his Fiddle! I am so glad we got it. It is so nice to hear him play it again.
