Dinner on the floor

The other night I thought it would be fun to move our dining room table over, put a blanket down and eat dinner on the floor. The kids helped set the blanket. We all made our own individual pizzas. It was a blast changing dinner plans up a bit. Sometimes life can get so routine and when we do spontaneous things like this, it makes life so much more enjoyable.

Healthy Inspiration

I just bought a wheat grinder from Honeyville Grain. We have used it everyday since. It inspires me to eat healthier. We just keep it on our counter and when we go to make bread, waffles, brownies, etc. we just add some healthy ground grains (we like to grind the 4 grain cereal blend from Honeyville Grain). We add about half white flour as well. It makes such a difference in the nutritional value of our meals. I can also tell a difference in my system (if you know what I'm saying). So, I guess the point of grinding your own wheat & whole grains is....it is a lot healthier, cheaper, and if you store wheat in the Kernels they last a lot longer than storing flour. Plus, it is so fun for the kids to help grind and participate in the cooking process.

Additives

Ethan likes to put stuff in his drinks at meals. Whether it's toast or carrots, he has a bad habit. I guess you pick your battles and this isn't one of them. :) He's silly.

Pajamas till noon

Sometimes it is nice to stay in our pjs till noon, at least. Right when we get up there is always house work or some type of thing to do. Sometimes it just gets annoying to have to get all ready when you know that you don't have anything planned that day. So, hopefully no one will come over on these days. But, sometimes it just feels good to be lazy and proud of it.
Wes is in his "comfy" clothes a lot. What's the point of being uncomfortable at home?
