Kevin's Turn

 

Today we made a lot of things! Daddy made whips for Ania, Philip and Lucia out of sticks and string. He can crack it really loud! Ania can a little loud. Then he made a three-pronged grapple hook for me. It is fun to use. I began to make a fishing pole and reel, while Ania and Philip made light sabers out of sticks and green plastic bags. They used balloons for handles. Then Daddy made a wooden rake completely out of sticks. It doesn't work very well though.

 

We have too many fruit flies! They are destroying our pineapples, bananas, tomatoes and bread! We cannot catch them with our hands, so Daddy came up with a great idea. He put a piece of rotten banana in a glass jar, and TONS of fruit flies went into the jar to get that rotten banana. Then Daddy put the lid on the jar and trapped them. Then he took them outside and let them go. He did this five times while the rest of us played Uno after supper. Mama played, too!

 

Goodbye pesky fruit flies! Thank you, Jesus, for a fun day! Amina.
