ruffle skirt...

i was reading about these here... and i thought they were cute, so i made one. very easy. very fun. anna wants a LONG one. ellie wants a TIGHT one. hmmm. gotta get thinking... i was thinking of you as we were having our family night tonight. it was on "Love at Home." Todd read a GREAT story in Matthew 18:23-35... it was perfect. i could see my kids really connecting... well. perhaps i should say, i could see some of them connecting. drew was banned from family night because he got in a fight with jakob about what chair he wanted to sit in. ellie was on the bench yelling that it wasn't fair. leah was singing and playing the piano. (leftover from her accompanying the opening song.) justin was reading from the book of mormon... he wanted to read along, but had the wrong book... that didn't stop him. anna was whispering in my ear all about a funny thing that happened today... and, jakob was bouncing a laughing lily on his lap. all of the kids were half listening... and i think all of them received half of a great lesson. such is life. we love home. ;)
