Happy Half Birthday!!


We don't usually celebrate half birthdays, but Kaitlyn and William love to pretend it's someone's birthday all the time, so I thought it would be fun to celebrate a half birthday for Family Home Evening this week. Alan's half birthday would've been February 31st, Kaitlyn's March 8th, Tom's March 12th, and mine March 20th. We played games like "mother may I" and had different kids of races (like somersault races, cottonball races, etc). Then at the end we made a batch of sugar cookie dough and gave everyone their own portion of dough to make whatever shapes they wanted. After that we decorated them and ate them. Yum!

Crazy Raking

We don't bother raking in the fall because the leaves don't completely fall off of the trees here until it's almost spring. Tom will do one good mow in November when it starts to cool off which will pick up alot of the leaves, but by January-Feb more leaves have fallen and we have to do it all over again. So, last week we had a lot fun raking and blowing the leaves in both the front and back. We did more playing than raking for a while. :)
