DRAWING ON THE SIDEWALK
When the weather is pretty and warm, there is nothing like pulling out some chalk and writing on the sidewalk (if you have a sidewalk)! :-) I even still like to do some drawing myself.

TEETH AND BREAD
The Boyd nest is all "a-twitter" this week as Nathan and Samuel have been losing teeth like crazy!
Nathan is at the point where he is losing molars and canines. The molars seem to be giving him a little more trouble than his other teeth, I guess because they are so much larger and have more roots. He also asked for a little more payment for them because they are bigger and a little bit more trouble. Hmmmm..... :-)!
Samuel is still working on his smaller teeth. We have been reading the book, "Wiggly Tooth", a lot more lately! He likes to read it every time he has a loose tooth. Poor Samuel looks like a little hillbilly because he is so gap-toothed! Ha!
My Amish Friendship Bread starter mix is just about ready to divide and give away. I started it last Saturday. I'll be baking bread tomorrow night. I love this bread and there are so many ways to make it up. You can also bake smaller loaves to give away to teachers, elderly people, etc. It's a good lesson in charity for the boys!
Well, the weather has been up and down. It's beautiful, warm and sunny one day, then cold and rainy the next! Oh, well! Atleast we have warm days in between the cold. Where I come from, it is constantly cold and grey for atleast four months!
Scrabble was on the list for our family game time this past Thursday night. It's funny how new words are invented when people get down to their last, desparate letters! ;-)! It's a good thing we keep a dictionary handy!
Well, time to go. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

BIRTHDAY PARTIES AND CORNBREAD
Ah, Monday again! What a busy weekend for the Boyd house!
Saturday morning, Dwayne and the boys went hunting while I hung around the house catching up on laundry, a little housework and some blogging.
Saturday afternoon, we headed on over to a birthday party for one of our church members. He is in the end stage of his cancer, and hospice has said that he may not be with us much longer. But we know that God is in control of that decision! This dear brother in Christ was not supposed to live past Thanksgiving, but here he is, celebrating his 16th wedding anniversary on Friday and his 54th birthday on Saturday. He is ready to go, though. He knows that when he closes his eyes in death, he will be in the presence of the Lord.
We ended up eating out Saturday night as the party was a little later in the afternoon and we hadn't had time to fix any supper at home. We have tried very hard to set Saturdays aside as our "Family Day", as things are so busy during the week between church, work and school.
Sunday afternoon held a surprise for me as both boys went home with their Granny and Pa after church. Samuel doesn't usually go as he is only six years old, and still likes to go home. But he was in a "I'll do whatever Nathan is doing" mood yesterday, so he went. Let me tell you, the house yesterday afternoon was quiet, TOO QUIET! Since we don't believe in doing unnecessary work on Sundays, as it is set aside as our day of rest, I decided to lay down for a nap. I slept all afternoon! I must have needed it. :-)!
Nathan and Samuel found out something new that they like to eat. I made cornbread in a skillet on Sunday. As they were eating their hot-fresh-out-of-the-oven piece and yumming over it, I told them about how I used to eat cornbread in a bowl with milk over it. Of course, they wanted to try it! Guess what? This is their new favorite breakfast (atleast until the next thing comes along. ha!).
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
