Right now if it's in the Childers' household, it's probably broken. Last week our oven stopped working and the glass in our screen door fell out. The sewing machine is broken and one of the burners in the grill is out. This has all been a bit stressful, but I think we're getting through it okay.
Our week was not completely fraught with disaster. Amara gave me an iPod Touch on Saturday. She was planning to give it to me for Christmas, but decided she just couldn't wait. I'm excited to have one, and to have an iPod that holds a little more of my music.
This weekend Highland put on Bible Times Marketplace. All children and helpers don Israelite costumes and we learn about life in the days of Jesus. My family helps run the scribe shop, but this year I joined a family. For most of the day my kids were the four year olds, though I became a scribe later in the day. It was a lot of fun, and the communion bread we make is always quite tasty.
I moved my bed over to my new house yesterday. We don't have a truck so we went with a slightly unorthodox method. With mattress and box spring piled high atop our CRV we drove slowly to my house, sticking to the alleys. We all stuck a hand out of the windows and latched on, holding the mattress down against the roof. I'm sure we looked like a bunch of loonies.

Last paragraph is epically awesome.
Reminds me of the time when my Dad and Uncle Jimmy moved a mattress across town in the bed of a truck. They didn't tie it down. Instead, Jimmy sat on it to weigh it down and, while they were going down the road, both the mattress and Jimmy came flying off the back of the truck. Jimmy rode that mattress a few yards down the road. They didn't tell my mom where the mattress had gotten the dirt stains on it for about 10 years.
mmm communion bread
:)
And this is some pretty yummy communion bread!
Update on the state of the house: our rocking chair is now broken. My parents got it when I was born, so finding a replacement part is unlikely :(
