FRIDAY – 24 February

Hmmm, a quick summary of the day?

We did school.

We tried to feed Stacia.

We watched in amazement as Stacia rolls from one end of the house to another.

We continued toilet training….began THIS week and the only accident has been with BM.

I drove Josiah to work.

I dropped off Jamin and Jared to help a new friend move into their home…about a mile away.

I began figuring out what I want to order for our produce co-op this time.

Mike arrived home from work and went to help with the move. I picked Josiah up from work and took him to help with the move. What a wonderful way for MEN to get together while doing something meaningful. I’d met both these women at the park in January and was glad that Mike was meeting their husbands.

I baked two more freshly-milled, whole-grained door-stops. Tastes great – didn’t rise. I have more grain and yeast etc coming in a co-op order on Monday. I knew the yeast was very old (since AK) but I am too stubborn to go buy more when I know I have new yeast coming. {G}

I baked three home-made pizzas. I discovered that Arielle, Nolan and Zander don’t LIKE home-made pizza….they’ll adjust.

The guys made it home. They set up the screen and projector and we watched a bit more Hogan’s Heroes. I keep falling asleep by the time they get these going so I’ll be able to enjoy them for months to come…while they are clamoring for the “next season”.

I continued to make plans for transitioning us to the Feingold program in an attempt to help Zander minimize or maximize those things which need adjusting. {g} We used this program for a couple of years and it really helped Jamin. You can read more about it here. We are already on a sort of “modified Feingold” so it may not be too difficult to change. Yeah right….it is the YOUNGER THREE who are such junk-food addicts and so it will take a bit of work…but with all the fresh produce around here and the thrill of helping to grind grains…maybe I can lure them in. {G}
