Today is Saturday, and we had a bit of running around to do. We had headed out to the Eicher's farm to pick up our milk and eggs when we realized that we did not have any cash, so we headed back towards town. On the way as we were passing one of the other family's home we saw that one of their cows was out. We stopped in to let them know, but they were not home. So we went to the Garber's to tell them. One of the young men came to help my husband get the cow back in the fence. After all of that we went back to the Eicher's to pick up our milk and eggs. Then we went to the bakery to do a little grocery shopping. Next we went into town and visited this bargain store that everyone had been telling us to go see. We found a nice black sweater (that is a cashmere blend) for $5! We also purchased a child sized mop, which Jacob is very excited about. We finished off our errands with a trip to Walmart. The boys were rather pleasant through such a busy day!
I finished writing a chore chart for Jacob and Joshua. I think Jacob will really like having set chores...he does like to work! :)
We are going to study our Sunday School lesson now, for tomorrow.
Blessings!

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!
Rick
Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
Sounds like a very long day. Whenever we go to Wal Mart, I am near beat by the time we get to the groceries. WalMart is usually our last stop after other runnings.
ReplyDeleteI have one child who loves to work. Now if the others were just as excited. My 4 year old is great about it, because he will see something that needs doing and just does it. Even things that I do not catch on right away.
Sounds like a busy day! It's funny, our youngest likes to work, too. He is always saying, "I wanna HEP Mama...hep mama." My mother got him a broom and dustpan for his birthday, and he likes to sweep. When I bring the groceries in, he pulls the bags into the kitchen for me (he's 2). So sweet.
