I started out this morning checking in with the Wii Fit critter... did my daily "test" on it, and then proceeded to make PANCAKES for breakfast! Some of the kids were thrilled, while others wished I had made biscuits... I started the kids on their school work, and mailed out the ebay packages (some homeschool workbooks that I sold).
Andrew cooked some venison sausage on the grill for lunch - it was totally yummy! We sat on one of the swings and just talked while it cooked. It was really nice... no worries, no time frame, no plans, no schedule. Just time to sit. How often do we take the time to do that? Definitely not often enough... we really should.
Jessica (16) gets to work at the frame shop again tomorrow - she'll be excited about that. It might actually be a little busier on a Saturday than it was on Wednesday, and she'd REALLY like that.
Victoria (15) leaves on Sunday for Mission Home at church. She'll be gone a whole week... I'll miss her, but she enjoys the week of working at the camp. The week will run as normally without her, except that perhaps not all of the laundry will stay caught up...
This weekend is Heavy Trash Clean Up for Montgomery County. We like to hit the site after hours and scavenge for things that we can use and keep at least some of the stuff from ending up in a landfill. It's always sad to see the amount of really good furniture, appliances, and other stuff that people dump off out there. Last year there was a BEAUTIFUL wooden futon with a striped cushion that someone dropped off. Watching the machine practically shred it was just heart breaking.
We're heading into town later to salvage some wood that we can use, and drop off one of our empty trailers so that someone can clean out the trash from their barn. I'll stop and pick up bacon and some salad fixings while we're in town. I told Brittani I'd make scrambled eggs, bacon, and homemade biscuits for breakfast tomorrow, and a salad sounded like a good supper.
Hope everyone else is having a fabulous day!
