JOY is drawing on the coffee tables. I followed the suggestion of a friend and painted our tables which were already black with chalkboard paint. Now the kids can do math, spelling and art on them!
JOY is coming home to find a birthday surprise on your diningroom table left by your sister, learning a new skill with your mother (how to build with cob - straw, sand and water), and spending time at the farmers market with your kids.
JOY is watching nature in your own back yard. This morning I spotted a male and female duck walking around our back yard. The kids were hoping they would lay eggs back there so we could have ducklings.
JOY is strawberries! Today I changed my facebook profile picture to my favorite food (next to chocolate and quiche) because I can't find a suitable picture of myself to use.
JOY is having a new experience. We attended the children's first Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew. It was put on by our home school group, we very much enJOYed attending it.
JOY is riding your bike all around the back yard on a nice day. Jaren enJOYed doing this till he flew off his bike and landed on his nose. I heard Jaren scream then ran out back and found he landed on his nose and it was bleeding. At first I thought it was broken, it was just scraped and bruised. He received a priesthood blessing, held some ice on it and healed beautifully and quickly!
