Family Time

We spent most of the day yesterday together as a family, which was nice. We all went outside to work on the garden, which at first didn't sound like much fun and we heard some grumbling, but once we were all out there, we all had a great time. Looking for worms was a highlight. We collected 85 of them. Kate especially enjoyed putting the worms in the worm tray. She would happily shout "WORM!" whenever we pointed one out to her. Stomping on "death eaters" (plant eaters) was another highlight. We pulled weeds, turned over the dirt, and raked the dirt. Zoe and Emily were the last to leave the garden because they wanted it to look perfect and they were having so much fun. :-)

We then sat down to watch "Hotel for Dogs" together. It was a cute movie.

We had Family Home Evening, which started out a bit crazy and with some contention, but we ended on a happy note.

I forgot to mention in my last post Noah's cute "Yee Haw" shout that he learned at Kids in Motion. He punches his hand in the air, like the kids did in their dance, and shouts "Yee Haw". It is so cute.

It sounds like great success in the garden if children could not even leave the work behind! I am impressed:)
