Saturday Morning

Cade doesn't care if you're supposed to sleep in on Saturdays. He was in my room at 6:45 AM and the conversation went like this:

Cade: Mama, where do dreams happen? Where ARE dreams? Like, dreams on shows are above peoples heads in the air. (I think he was referring to thought bubbles).

Me: Cade, dreams happen inside your brain.

Cade: Well, ya know when people say, "turn to God?" How do people know which direction to turn so they go towards God?

Me: Turning to God means you stop pursuing evil and do what God wants you to do.

We ponder the deep things of life on Saturday mornings, usually while I'm half asleep. The routine is SUPPOSED to be that on Saturdays the kids can't get up before 8 and they can't wake us up. At 8 AM they can go watch TV and eat leftover cold pizza from the night before while watching TV. BUT, it's summer at the cabin so we're kind of on permanent vacation mode. School and routine, both of which are starting shortly, are going to be a rude awakening.

Apple Creek

A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

My littlest is seven and it's hard not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours. At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read. Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
