After traveling last weekend, we told the kids we would have a fun family weekend...at home ;)!
Well, on Saturday morning, we started off with some fun baking and a trip over to swim at a friends' house. It's still local, right? Then we had a great time playing games in the afternoon and had dinner at another friends' house that night. The kids didn't want to come home; but, we have to sleep sometime.

Oh yeah! Love the jump!
Sunday morning came and I was teaching Children's Church with Sid. We had a great time singing and doing some skits about King David and Absalom. The kids had a bit of trouble with their focus this morning; but, I hope they still got the message about honoring others above themselves (Romans 12:10.)

We had a lot of dancing and jumping this morning
This afternoon, after church, we went and did our weekly grocery shopping. Krypto has been reading "A Treasure of Narnia" which is all kinds of stories and the history behind the Narnia series. It even has recipes, and in the car this morning, he asked me to make Mushroom Soup from "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." I had a leg of Eisbein (pork, cooked over a BBQ) leftover from 2 weeks ago (it had been in the freezer since we had been to Verna's Mexican Night) and so I started with that and added a bunch of veggies (carrots, garlic, onions, potatoes...) and of course mushrooms. We grated some parmesan cheese on top, served with some fresh french bread and it was oh, so delicious!
A great soup for dinner tonight
Sissi made her own "flying machine control panel" using some old cardboard from a care package, some turned over chairs, and blankets.
Game time, playing "Reds", which is about the Russian Civil War (1918-1921.) They set up on Saturday afternoon and played a few rounds today
After dinner, I decided to make a new version of laundry soap. My Borax and Arm and Hammer are starting to run out ;). SO, instead of a dry powder, that I've been making for a couple of years, I used the Duggar's recipe for a liquid gel laundry soap. Here's to it working well, because I like that it uses less supplies!
Now, I'm working on this blog as we enjoy some popcorn and family movie night! Tomorrow is a new week, I'll catch up with you all later. Blessings!
