Spencer's 7th Birthday

Spencer turned 7 this past Monday and we had a great day. Here are some photos.

Interesting Craft/Project Today

I'm learning so much, hopefully the boys are too! A couple of things we learned today: the inside temp of the Great Pyramid is a constant 68 degrees, it is located at the exact center of the earth's land mass and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World still standing.

He Loves Me!

Something you may not know about me is that I have a bit of a sock fetish. My favorites are wool socks, not of the 2-inch thick winter sport variety, but awesome, everyday-casual-style wool socks. Hubby not only humors my addiction, he single handedly feeds it. You can imagine how excited I was to get a surprise package today with a return address of The Sock Company!

Science Experiment: Making Butter

We didn't exactly churn it, but I wouldn't let the boys use the standing mixer either. The boys each got a jar of cream to shake into butter. I didn't let the cream get to room temp first, so it took longer than it should've, but once it started hardening it went quickly.

The liquid leftover is buttermilk. I think we could've made more butter and had less buttermilk, but the boys were getting impatient to see the fruits of their labor. Isaac has now requested buttermilk biscuits, anyone have a good recipe?
