Maycie designed and cut out her own robot costume out of paper and tape.

One of our favorite Saturday morning activities is going to our local farmer's market. I definitely don't save any money, quite the contrary, but it's very satisfying buying produce and fresh pastured eggs from local farmers.
Maycie's hair is so smooth and strait it's difficult to get curls to stay. We've tried foam rollers several times, but it never took very well. This time was a success. However, the curls fell out after just a few hours. Oh well. It was pretty while it lasted.
After watching "Soul Surfer" as a family we did a little research about other people who have lost arms or weren't born with any and the obstacles they have had to over come. The kids were particularly impressed (as was I) with a youtube video of a lady with no arms who cared for her young baby. She did everything a normal person did but with her feet. After watching this Alex was inspired to unload the dishwasher with his feet. It took him about 5 minutes just to get one dish put away so it didn't last long (thank goodness), but a valuable lesson about over coming challenges and being grateful was learned.
