This is day 8/21 on the prayer & fasting. Most of the day went smoothly! I went in to the office for meetings and then when I was done I came home to grab all 3 boys so that Tom could get some stuff done around the farm. You know, this whole no television & device thing is great but sometimes it definitely feels like a punishment to us as parents 😆.
The boys and I went to CFC to get the special mini pig food for Moo and to see about getting a harness for her. They didn't have any harnesses and she won't let me near her yet anyhow to measure her already chunky self! It looks like I'll be ordering the super cute ones from pigglz.com because Amazon surprisingly isn't hip in this area of product.
When I had gotten back, Tom had built in the area underneath the old chicken coop so that's where Moo is going to live. He is the freaking man to not only allow me these wild ideas but to actually engage in manual work over them - he's a dime!
We spent some time outside even though it was extremely rude and frigid. Moo hid under her blanket of hay all afternoon but did sneak out for a bit to eat so I snapped a couple of pics!
Also, I found out that Luna will do some pretty uncharacteristic-like stuff for some saltines! LOL!
Jasmine, left, is dumb and got her head stuck in the gate shortly after this picture 😑.
We chilled inside for the rest of the evening. Some of us were reading, some of us were drawing, some of us were napping, some of us were asking every question we could think of and some of us were trying to escape the questions.
The puzzle I bought to entertain us is really hard so it's just been sitting on the coffee table. How long is appropriate before we admit defeat and get another one?
I also have a few Christmas decorations still up but it's too the point now where it looks normal so I don't notice it plus, I should've just put it away when I was motivated because now I'm not.
Also, I'm really sick of our boring played-out dinners. Please give me some ideas that are nutritious but easy!
Ephesians 4:32
I mean...thank you God. Thank you for knowing what our struggles would be and modeling for us the way we are to behave.
We love to have customizable meals in the rotation- taco bar, rice bowls (top with meat, veggies, beans, etc), pho, stir fry, omelets, and last week we tried mashed potato bowls. I did half mashed potatoes/half puréed cauliflower and mixed it together. Then they loaded it up with their choices of ground turkey, corn, peas, grilled onions, and jalapeños.
