Spelling...

We had the annual Spelling Bee tonight. I have always enjoyed spelling. Not all my children share my enthusiasm but we had a few kids participate. It was fun to watch Moriah spell. She is so animated. Her shoulders move with each letter she says or her eyes or something else. I don't have pictures because again I forgot my camera to a major family function, the last time being the Ball last weekend when it was Isaac's first time attending. We had fun anyway but a few pictures and videos would be nice. The spelling bee was fun. It was Jordan's last year. :( I have to train up a new generation of lovers of spelling because the next three didn't participate. Rebekah, Gideon and Moriah were up for the challenge though.

We got home and my darling girls are out milking and giving our 5 goats wormer. Giving them 1/2 tsp of a powder might sound easy?! Right?! Not if the goats refuse to take it in molasses which all goat things tells you they love. Guess our goats didn't get that particular instinct. We tried the molasses since it would be so healthy for them to take a good dollop each day since we are sure three are pregnant. Again, not likely. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get the five to take the wormer. Jordan did finally get them to take it in their mineral and oats. They are so smart though. We have tried that before and they will eat everything but the stuff you added. We have to do this for three days, morning and night. I wish animals came with no extra care required, just feed and water!

Have a good weekend!
