Loom bracelets are all the rage in the 4th grade. The bracelets are made on a loom with small rubber bands. We have 3 looms and a gazillion rubber bands. The girls make several bracelets a day and everyone in our family has several.
The big kids recently participated in the 4th grade play. The play was about Utah history. Carter was a mountain man. Annie was a rock climber. Abby was a beehive. Everyone in the family knows all the songs! It was a great experience for them, but I'm really glad it is over!
Lots of cub scouts and the Blue and Gold Banquet.
I'm still running lots and sometimes question my current goals. I still have a long ways to go to accomplish my goals. It takes a lot of time. Running is the easy part. It is the strength training, stretching, diet, and icing that requires a lot. Hopefully it is all worth it.
I have a far-fetched dream of having a small farm some day. This will probably never happen, but I often think about how I would run it. I've been reading a lot of books about it lately.
We have neighbors that have a lot of chickens, rabbits, horses and turkeys. They are truly self reliant people. They believe in growing their own vegetables and raising/killing their own meat.
They recently butchered their turkeys (I won't post the pictures). They invited me to the event. I was beyond excited (for real)! I got to watch them shoot the turkeys, skin them, and pull out all their guts. The wife was going to can all the meat. Watching this process made me even more excited to dream! Someday.....
