When Skinners, Krauses, Shelbos, (Doug) Skinners get together.....
Owen helps his mom clean the bathroom!
Happy Birthday, Daniel!!!
I smell popcorn popping. It's raining and I can hear it outside this window next to me. It's cozy inside and all the kids are busy. Ivy's gone to the airport to pick up Daniel. He went to Chicago for an interview today. I know they aren't excited about living in Chicago but we discussed the fact that this isn't exactly the best time to be looking for employment and one probably ought to take what one can get. Sure hope the one in Utah pans out before they have to move that far away.
We are enjoying family life with the Skinners. Even though I have good intentions of helping with the homeschooling, seems like I always have something else to do, like cleaning the kitchen or vaccuming. Ivy does a good job, though. Daniel is good to help too, especially with math.
Every night without fail we read the scriptures. I love that. Not even me and Dennie are that disciplined. We each take turns, even the two youngest, with help, and it has a wonderfully calming effect on all of us, right before bedtime. I love it when the Krause kids come over and they all run amock (sp?) through the house. And sometimes Daniel's brother, Doug, and family come over with their four kids and we can only hope that they don't knock the house off it's foundation :)
