Some Things

Okay so I've been a slacker...sorry! We haven't done any school recently because the weather is so beautiful and I want to be outside and enjoy Fall as much as we can. (And I'm feeling a tad lazy!) So during "D" week we made D-D-Doughnuts! They were so yummy! I used regular flour, but my cheif sister suggested trying pastery flour...I'm going to try that next time...O week, or S for shapes (circle), or Y for yummy, F for fancy baking...the possibilities are endless.
Here is the recipe for those interested.


I have also been on a knitting kick...I find it very fun and relaxing. I have progressed beyond the dishrag, but this one was soo cute I had to do it. I love it, it is probably my favorite dishrag that I have done. (Wow, that sound kind of pathetic...) So, I made Addy a pair of leg warmers (sooo cute), I'll post a picture of it later, and I'm going to make Zach and Addy hats and when I'm all finished with that I am making myself some lond socks! I also made the kids stuffed bunnies...I'll have to post pictures of them later too.

So I don't know if anyone has any advice but Spencer is talking back like crazy. And he is becoming more stubborn...he gets this "come over here and make me" look in his eyes. Maybe it's the age...But I have really been struggling with this one. I guess it doesn't help that Kaden has deceided that he can be stubborn too. And poor Addy is just as sweet as can be...it is only a matter of time before I am tempted to sell her to the circus with her brothers.
I guess the only thing I can do is pray! I have seen miracles result from prayer...now more then ever I feel in need of several miracles!

I'm sure you'll do a great job with your boys. Addy is getting so cute. Just be consistent with them and they'll get over the talking back phase eventually and on to a new one!

Way cute picture of Addy (is that how you spell it?). We put Addy's and Ele's picture next to each other and the cuteness just took my breath away. We can't wait to get things in order here and be able to come visit you more often. Love you. -Dad
