Sunday February 26

Just a few little snapshots into our Sunday life here.

The mornings are kinda a rush to get everyone ready and to church on time.

But after church, we have some nice wind-down family time.

Elsie was busy 'decrorating' for a 'party' and we felt a breeze come in from the front door.

Elsie had gone to 'answer the door' when her 'guests had arrived' (that girl and her imagination....love it!)

Well, she opened the door, and Mater was there waiting for her.

She sat and played with him by the door for quite a while before we realized what she was doing.

It was pretty cute to sit and watch them together.

He is a good puppy and the kids just love him.

After the girls wrote in their blog journals....(which I am trying to get them to do every Sunday....it will be fun to print them some books when the finish up a year)

....I let them play some computer games for a little bit while Dad and I  (mostly Dad) made dinner.

During dinner, we were trying to get Port to eat as much food as possible by telling him that he gets strong by eating good food.

Which somehow ended up with us trying to lift each other up.....then Dad was dared to hold all the kids.

I should have added myself to the equation :)

The kids thought he was pretty darn cool.

Then it was clean-up time after dinner.

Port grabbed himself a towell and started the towell whip game....thanks to dad for teaching him that one.

It was a fun time...and luckily no one got hurt too bad :)

Then the wind-down time.

Yep....this is how Dad watches a movie most of the time.

(It seems we have entered the no clothes era again with the little boy......)
