Cody caught a misquito fish that was attatched to his worm. Cami caught her first fish, and Kirsten likes to play with the worms. I am hoping I can help these girls to not be so "girly". We had a blast.

Cody and Cami fishing in the pond at our house.
Here is Cody and Cami fishing in the pond at our house. We stocked the pond with rainbow trout last November. We weren't sure if they would make it, so we decided to go fishing tonight to see if they were still there. The kids had a blast catching and releasing them. Well, catching was fun but Cami wasn't too happy when we put it back, because she wanted to eat her fish.

Hello Everyone,
Today, Sunday, I asked the kids to wash the dinner dishes while I rested on the couch. Growing up it was always the kids job to wash the dinner dishes. Two kids were assigned to this because there were a lot more dishes than on a week night. So we each took our turn on Sundays. It seems without fail though, that this would end up being a discipline day because we would always start complaining or fighting about who had to wash. We would usually wake up Dad or Mom from their nap, and get in big trouble. Why we didn't learn sooner to just be quiet and get the job done rather than making it last two hours longer than nessesary, I am not sure.
Anyways, it was fun watching Cody and Cami today do the dishes. Cami was trying to put a lid on the soup and dumped it all over the table and floor. I could see the frustration on Cody's face, that same look we have given him for the past almost 10 years when he made a mistake. I had to laugh. It was fun seeing the two of them try to clean up a mess as best they could without letting the parents know what was going on. I think I am going to start enjoying Sunday afternoons more.
