Celebrating Reformation Day

What better way to celebrate than to make hot sugary donuts? I rendered about 5 gallons of fresh lard last week so we have plenty of fat to fry in, thanks G’s! It is so nice to have lard again!

Daddy is working at a cereal plant for a couple weeks. he has a keen eye for play things. He noticed big inflatable bags tossed in the trash, they were used to secure shipments in barges. He asked if he could take one home. It was an instant hit!

This morning the children learned they could launch each other. Jacob became the launch-er and the rest of the kids, the launch-ees.

We printed out Luther’s 95 Theses below. We are stopping and reading 20 of them every hour throughout the day and discussing the impact this day had on the Church.

We walked the pumpkin patch and ran the corn maze. This year I lost no children in there!

Our favorite part! Hot apple cider shared with a partner, caramel apple slices and apple pull-aparts. Sugar makes any day brighter.

Did I really just pay a quarter for her to feed a goat? I mean really folks.  Next year we are bringing grain in our pockets.

What seemed like a long, slow start is now a thing of the past. Between Junie the goat and I, we have a 15lb baby girl. So much for that slow start! I make my own formula supplement using goats milk as a base. She is doing so well and doesn’t seem to have the tummy aches my other babies did on cow based formula.

She is such a blessing to our days and adds much entertainment. Elijah is absolutely infatuated by her and loves his lider-lee-ya so, so much. ;)
