Today the boys and I took a field trip to the Vanderburgh 4-H Fairgrounds. One of our friends shows pygmy goats. We were lucky enough to see her and them while we were there. The goats were fun and someone in our house might now want to have a goat reside in the backyard. We […]
This year we scaled way back on projects. Mason chose to make Peanut Butter Squares from a recipe he found on YouTube for his cooking project. He made these several times before to prepare and when we got back from Vegas, I made them with him again. He and Bill cut them very precisely at […]
