We don’t do stuff on Hallowe’en and frankly, we were exhausted after four busy night’s worth of activities. So we tremendously enjoyed getting our jammies on early and having a family game night.
Do you have any idea how loud Yahtzee is with 8 of us?
Stewart’s Physical Science program is amazingly cool. It is a CD-ROM program that he uses daily and it walks him through experiment after experiment. He builds machines and then makes hypothesis as to how they will perform in certain tests. He then conducts the test and evaluates his hypothesis. Very neat stuff.
PS – I don’t make them dress the same – they did that so they could be on the same team at CBS.
Little sisters are interested, too.

How cool is it that she is just so happy when she wakes up in the morning. Just so happy for a new day and her family to make her glad. We love her little scrunchy-nose. The first day of CBS a friend of mine who helped in the nursery said, “I just love the way she smiles with her whole face.” Yup. And it makes my whole heart jump for joy.
Carrot cake get’s its own post?
This one does.
I found the recipe on America’s Test Kitchen website. it was worth the rigmarole to register, etc., to access it.
It called for nuts but I used coconut on the outside.
It was exceptional!
Sometimes you miss the forest for the trees.
We drive by a farm market almost every time we go out, yet I had never taken Johanna. And it had been a few years for the bigger girls.
Each time we drive by now Johanna exclaims, “The pumpkin patch, Mawm! The PUMPKIN PATCH!”
Wait until she realizes we can pick berries there, as well.
Marie had a lot more to memorize in order to earn her t-shirt, handbook, and bag. We were pretty pleased for her. 🙂
Despite her smile, she was pleased as well. ♥
Are the stripes the cause?

Every Butler baby has spent countless hours on Daddy’s lap at the dinner table. Or in this case, the ice cream table.
She knew she was missing something special.
We found her a treat, too.
