A little more

I put off posting, then once I get going I can't stop. Especially when it's Monday morning, the house has been pretty much cleared out of bodies, I have no car, Marcus is singing away and jumping on his trampoline, and it seems like the day is stretching before me in such a nice beautiful way.

Here are some glimpses of recent winter activities.

I have often mentioned that I run around the park for exercise. It's a tiny park so that involves lot's of circling. Caroline always begs to tag along which is totally feasible in a park this size.Sometimes when I get a spare second, I just head out in my jeans. It's not like I am going to start sweating in this weather. I don't even have to shower when I get back.

Marcus is allowed to jump on the bed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. As long as Dad isn't around the bed is free game. I don't think 30 lbs. is going to hurt a thing.

Savannah doesn't get bored with long winters as long as she has plenty of felt and my sewing machine. It amazes me that she voluntarily uses the sewing machine. My early memories of sewing involved Mother forcing me to sew a dress once a year, terrible headaches from my confusion and frusteration with the whole activity.
Her recent projects include hair bows for her sister's birthday, felt food for her brother to have picnics, and a bunch of pets that she gave away to her friends. This is her penguin.

I snapped this picture Sunday before church in the primary room. We are usually early for church and hang out in the primary room while I work on stuff. Savannah got into the habit of rounding up a soft chair for her personal use. Just to make things clear that it is for HER personal use she added a sign last Sunday. You can't imagine the brawls this one soft seat causes every Sunday between her and Kennon during opening exercise.

Can we please send the 12 year old on? I can't take 4 children in primary any longer. Especially the honery one who really doesn't want to be there.
