In other news, 6 weeks has also brought about:

• A New “Painted Rock” business for Calvin (5th born) – which has proven to be quite profitable – $14.26 so far. He is hoping for a Fishing pole at the end of his sales. 😀

While I have been occupied with Theodore, he has painted rocks for hours and hours. Including getting paint all over our school table-

It’s there for good.

So I asked him to please take his “business” to the front yard in which his paint got all over our sidewalk leading to the front porch-

There are remnants there now of his location.

Then it started raining, he told me, so he moved his paint station to the porch where I later discovered more of his whereabouts.

The final trail of paint was discovered on our white columns when perhaps he decided they could use some jazz- and you got it,

…….  It’s here for good.

So really the new rock business has proven to cost us a lot more than $14.26.

• I must be feeling more like myself because the boys hair has gotten to me- so I managed to get around to cutting it. 

And look who else needed some grooming….

Maybe the kid and dog hair cuts can save us some money to help support the whole rock business!😉

• Blake took the oldest three kids to hike on the Appalachian Trail to Mt.Leconte.

It was about 16 miles and they LOVED it!

• I found this in our refrigerator:

I am pretty sure that when you find googly eyes in the refrigerator, it’s a clear sign that you have been preoccupied. 😀

• One day over the past 6 weeks, the kids “forgot” that they brought 17 frogs in the house in a bucket. In which the frogs easily found a way out. The one below was hopping into our closet in which I asked for back up help…..

• Our first Fourth of July with Theodore included Our Tallahassee family –  which we all loved!

And Memphis family have met Theodore….

• ALL have pitched in with dishes…

And look who else is “helping” with the dishes……

There is a TIME for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Eccles. 3:1
