Bits and Pieces of the Day

January 14, 2012 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten anything on here.  Daily life is busy!  Here are a few glimpses of yesterday (I planned to post this yesterday, but….)  I had Esther grab her camera and take pictures of what all her brothers were doing.

Two little boys were busy coloring pictures in the morning–look at that concentration!

This boy was reading a book on our new Kindle.

This boy was making tent pegs to give to some friends.

Oldest boy was mowing–one of his favorite jobs.

Lunchtime–think they like salad?!!

I had a bit of time in the evening to zigzag around the squares of flannel from an old nightgown that I was making into wipes for the new baby, and Joe handed them to me.

    […] January 13, Friday. Today was a different sort of day. Because yesterday was such a big day, we didn’t get around real early. I ate some leftovers from the fridge for breakfast, and let the children cook some eggs. Seth made a batch of scrambled eggs (because he started out wrong to make fried eggs), and Simon didn’t get up till later, so he made some fried eggs and shared them with Joe, who had already had a fair amount to eat! They need to do their own cooking occasionally to keep in practice. This morning, I helped Seth with his phonics, and then Simon and I went out to the garden for half an hour. That’s about enough for me at this point. Joe concentrating real hard on drawing a picture! […]
