Odds and Ends

Kristin LOVES to draw and design clothes. She never really played with dolls, ever. She just draws and draws and makes her own 'fashions' as she puts it. Well, she found this new fashion design 'toy' she decided to buy with her allowance money. It really is neat. It comes with a mannequin and pieces of fabric that you can fold and fit on the mannequin and design outfits. Oh my gosh, this is the perfect thing for her. She loves it and now says she's going to design school when she grows up. Here she is showing off her first design.

We have started buying fresh milk from a local farmer. A friend of mine knows the family who owns a dairy farm outside Siloam and have started selling their milk to the public, for a very reasonable price. Best of all the milk comes from grass fed cows, without antibiotics or growth hormone. It is so so good. Here is my gallon of milk, in two half gallon jars, that was pumped at 5 and at my house by 7...gotta love it!

Easter evening while I was in the shower, Kristin comes running into the bathroom, "Matt's Mom was at the door!" I got out and there was a message on the answering machine from her...she'd made up two Easter cupcakes and left them in the car. They were so so yummy and were a great surprise!
