On Thursday, Isobel and I went shopping to buy fabric so I could make her a dress for her baptism next month. She picked one of the dress patterns I had, she picked the perfect fabric, and helped me take out pins. I finished the dress Friday. (She wants it to be a suprise so I can't post a picture of it until after her baptism. Be patient.)
I made strawberry Jell-o (with peaches in it) to go with dinner last night.
Tonight we had Family Home Evening (which we haven't had for a while) and I was in charge of the activity. I told the girls it was a suprise. When it was time I said, "we're gonna grind wheat!" They looked at me in disbelief. "It's gonna be fun!" I said. So I got out the new grinder I got for Christmas in 2008 (that was still unopened) and cut open a bag of wheat. Once we started grinding, the girls were having so much fun! Bryce asked how much flour we needed for bread or something. I had just seen a recipe in The Friend for simple cookies with cranberries in them (which I happened to have) and so we made those. Isobel RAVED about the grinding "activity" - she had to do an infomercial on camera. (Which, by the way, if anyone knows how to upload videos, PLEASE tell me. There used to be a button here on blogger but now there isn't. I need help. I've got great video of Isobel in her play, too.)

O how fun! I love that you decided to grind wheat for your activity. That is great. :)
Do you have more than one contributor for your blog?? Shonda was having the same problem trying to upload videos, the button was gone. But when she logged in as Craig the button was back... That's the only thing I can think of. Hope you figure it out, I would just love to see those videos!!
LOL! I love this post!
