French Bread and Fencing

Our kitchen was humming on Saturday. Rhaevyn made 14 loaves of french bread. She likes to bake alone, but this was to be a team effort for fund raising for EFY. We had to find a way for Aeva to help. Aeva did the calling, delivering, and collecting of funds. Making phone calls is not her favorite thing. It was good practice, and she did an excellent job of it. They sold 12 loaves for $5 each and even made a few tips. I think they have orders for 10 loaves this next Saturday.

Rhaevyn also made this scarf for our Bishop's wife. She hadn't had time to make it, so she handed the pattern and yarn over to Rhaevyn. She made $40 from that job. I think it turned out so cute. The Bishop's wife is going to be putting the eyes on.

Today's science project seemed more like a magic trick. We were learning about the flash-point in a fire and what that means when a room or building is on fire. Myles had fun blowing out the candle and having it magically relight. Elsa was in awe!

Meg threw away her pacifiers yesterday morning. I was surprised they lasted about a month and a half. She had chewed holes in both of them. She didn't even bat an eye when she threw them in the garbage. No tears! She had her first night without them last night. So far so good :)

The weather has been in the 60's the past few days. It feels like spring. We took the long and scenic route home from church yesterday and had all the windows rolled down. Today the kids and I got the shovels, rakes, and broom out to clear the back patio so that Myles and Elsa could roller blade. Then Myles and Rhaevyn had some fun fencing together.

Myles and Rheavyn got their hair cut. Rhaevyn originally just wanted what she had cut evened out, but then she decided to do layers. This is the shortest her hair has been since before Myles was born. It looks so super cute on her with her curls. I couldn't believe how much hair came off of Myles. He was really in need of a cut.

Both Myles and Elsa have been out helping Chris on his VW bug. Elsa was so excited the other day to vacuum it out, as the inside is bare. Then she got to just sit in it while it was running and thought that was the bee's knees.

Myles made a new wand. He worked all day Friday and part of Saturday on it. Chris said he's getting really good with the lathe. Chris made one too. Myles made his for Rhaevyn, but gave her the choice between the one he made and the one Chris made. She chose the one that Chris made.

 

And our little rose tree is starting to get new little buds on it, which is so nice! It's hard to believe we are coming up on one year this month.
Time to go for a family walk at Lewisville before the sun sets.
