Ebenbleb Blahbleb

"Ebenbleb Blahbleb" is Goosie-speak for Heavenly Father. She said the prayer for the first time tonight at the dinner table. The only other distinguishable word was "BOOOOD" (Thank Thee for the food)emitted at a high decibel of delight-the girl loves her food. She indicated her understanding that the prayer was concluding by raising her hands in triumph from where they were "folded" on her belly when I said "In the name..." It was coot!

This is what her folded arms looks like.



Bryguy had such a good time weeding that he offered to do more and this patch needs it! See how happy he is meticulously pulling out one at a time. He really enjoys this type of activity and will spot even weeds that I would overlook. He is really that smiley and didn't even know I had the camera!



Babs was very proud of the weeded corn rows. We made a game out of it. They are the SUPERWEEDERS! whose mission was to save the sad corn plants from the evil villainous weeds who try to choke them and steal their water. Glad to report that cornland was saved again.



For our good work reward we were able to don swimsuits and play in the sand and water and...



we also got to jump on the trampoline with sprinklers while mom made a peach pie. It is certain that not every day is as "peachy" as today was. No whining! Compliant children! Yay for today!
