Worms and Dirt
The other day Isaac brought in a handful of worms to show me. Abigail, Matthew, Josiah and Isaac all help with the goats, chickens and rabbits. By the end of the day they are usually quite dirty!

Sewing Project
This bag is made from one leg of a pair of jeans. It is an easy and adorable gift. Purchasing the jeans from the thrift store also makes it inexpensive.
