says piper

We got our family pictures taken several weeks ago. I can't post pictures yet, but whenever we look at the pictures online Piper will see himself and say, "Hey! There's Piper the Morken!"

Yesterday I was spraying degreaser on the stove and Piper walked past. Some of the mist got on him. He jumped back and said, "You almost cleaned me, Mommy!"

favorite songs

Finley and Piper both have favorite songs that they like to listen to over and over. Finley's favorite is Behold Our God by Sovereign Grace Music. Watch it here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6juePKlRKtI

Piper's favorite is All I Have is Christ by Sovereign Grace Music. He will come find me and ask for "Harin Hill". Erin Hill sings it. =) Watch it here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0vfz5lr37g

Oliver doesn't seem to have a favorite yet as he just likes to sing and dance to anything.

the box of carrots

Our last nice day was about a week ago. A nice day means above 60. I'm pretty sure the 60 degrees days are behind us and we won't see them again for 7 months. That's depressing...

Oliver loves getting muddy and he loves running water. He gets both at the same time when we're in the garden. The well is about 10 feet from the garden, which means endless supply of water and dirt within walking distance for him. He takes advantage of it. 

Piper with his giant carrot. These were not uncommon to find in our garden. We had such a good year for everything. I love Piper's big brown eyes in this picture. He loved following me around the garden with his little bucket so that I could put vegetables in it.

Finley and his giant carrot. You can see that he loves mud too as you can't even tell that this is a carrot from all the mud on it.

On Monday, I finally finished freezing and canning tomatoes and sauce and froze 18 quarts of carrots. On Tuesday, Matthew asked me if I wanted the 2 dozen more carrots that were still in the garden. "Uhh...no"? There's a box of 25 carrots sitting by our back door. They can't be outside or else they will freeze, so they are sitting right inside the back door. That means whenever someone opens the door they run into the box of carrots and then have to take a step back to close the door a little so they can step over the box of carrots. I'm sick of looking at the box of carrots, but I just can't bring myself to touch THE BOX OF CARROTS!

friends or brothers?

Finley is again in AWANA this year and does very well memorizing verses. However, there was a section to bring a friend and you don't get an award until you bring a friend...or so I thought. All he had to do was invite a friend and then he would get his award. From the way it sounded, he was the only one that didn't get an award tonight because he hadn't invited anyone. Breaks my heart typing it. He was so upset afterward that the Sparks director was in talking to him about it. While talking to him about how he needed to invite a friend, she asked, "Do you have any friends you could invite?" He replied, "All I have is two little boys in diapers." I'm pretty sure the book didn't mean to bring your little brothers ages 2-1/2 and 15 months. He's so sweet...
