...1...It pleased me very much yesterday when I made a weird lunch and my boys happily ate it. I'd like to think that the taste for triscuits topped with spaghetti sauce and green olives, warmed, is hereditary, but I think it's probably more likely that they just know that what they see is what they get. (And lately they've been eating like teenagers.)

I can't get it out of my mind how asinine Sunsweet Ones are. Seriously. Individually wrapped prunes? What a waste. Who would even consider buying that versus just a regular container of prunes? They are virtually marketing and selling packaging.

It's funny to think that when a friend mentioned they were into homesteading two years ago, I thought it sounded really weird. It's funny because I'd already been doing much of it, even at that time, save for the livestock. And now even that is something we're starting to dream about.

How's your Lent going? Surprisingly, I've been (at least) mildly enjoying it this year. It's nice that it seems to be getting better and better.

A friend recommended that I request a copy of this catalog. I'm very glad I did. I was completely amazed at so many of the varieties. It's amazing; they even have seeds for round carrots! And cucumbers that look like apples! Plus, I think it's great that there are people out there that are doing something to preserve the horticultural diversity that, I learned from reading this book, has been in a sharp decline.

Speaking of fruits, and vegetables, and all things healthy and wonderful, I had a great idea that was inspired by my inquisitive Little Wideawake. After having learned about God creating the world and everything in it, he started asking, while eating, if the Lord had made the orange he was eating. And he's continued to inquire if the Lord has made any number of the things he eats in a day. Thus, the God Diet. I think it's a great guideline for determining if the thing you're about to put in your mouth is a good, healthy, whole-food item. Did the Lord make it?

If your favorite thing in the world is cleaning up pee (or stepping in pee, sitting in pee, or touching pee), then it's okay for you to stand idly by while your husband teaches your little boy (who probably just finished potty training) to pee while standing up.
If, however, these things do not float your boat, you should immediately put the kabosh on that little lesson. (At least until your son can comfortably clear the rim of the toilet, for pity's sake.)
