Labor Day

Labor Day was very laboring - laboring of the mind that is! Try getting eight kids (actually 5 because 3 were working well) to calm down, work, clean their rooms, fold the laundry, be nice to each other, be respectful to Mom and Dad, obey, choose the right, love their brothers and sisters, not tease and, and, and . . . . well you get the picture. It was one of those days. Thank heavens they don't come around too often - it also helped me to appreciate all the other days "when there's love at home."

We did start the day with a yummy chocolate chip pancake breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade cream syrup. Thanks Brianna for the feast!
