Okay, so most of us eat breakfast, but have you ever had one as cute as this? I love hard-boiled eggs and oranges, but look how much cuter it is when they are hard-boiled quail's eggs and teeny-tiny clementines! I just had to take a picture at the table this morning. Makes me happy just to look at it (I have to admit that, though my eyes prefer the smaller, my stomach much prefers the larger).
*David just smiled at his silly wife who wouldn't eat until she got the perfect picture of this adorable combination. That is just the way I am.
So, on that note....Last week for an activity at church, I asked the ladies to put 3 things in a bag that would describe them and their personalities. We had a very good time, and really learned a lot of fun little things about each other.
I decided that I would ask my family what items they would put in a bag. Here are our responses (I would love to hear some of yours, too!).
David:
1-Key to the church building--I do...
2-volley ball--...what I love...
3-Whatever book my wife is currently reading to us--...every day!
Rebekah:
1- book of fairy tales --love books, especially childrens's tales and all things Happily Ever After
2-bar of dark chocolate --may be my addiction, 70% cocoa (once a day, depending on the day, of course)
3-red and white polka-dot pillow case-- I love sheets too much, and red and white is the ultimate combination of colors, though I love all happy colors especially when complimented with white.
Eli:
1-Dinosaur book-- I love to study dinosaurs
2-one of my made up games-- I have made up many games, and like to make more
3-basketball--I'm pretty good at shooting hoops
Adam:
1-pencil/paper--loves to draw
2-sheriff's badge-- likes to play dress up
3-picture of my mother--"because I'm with her every second of every day" (good or bad?)
Gabriel:
1-big legos--favorite school time toy
2-Once upon a time...The three bears--loves books (this is his favorite today)
3-giant ground sloth--animals are his favorite thing in the world, the stranger the better (this is a real prehistoric creature he learned about at a dinosaur museum in Utah. For Christmas the boys got the toy version).
Isaac: (okay so not exact quotes)
1-a rolled up dirty diaper-- because this means it is no longer on his person
2-a bite-sized piece of anything--though he hates it being pried out of his mouth
3-his little easy-grip ball-- loves to feel the power of the pitch (also likes to do this with wooden blocks, plastic animals, etc.)
