Moments of Hacking life and Photo Challenge // Day 9

Hey everyone!

     Today's subject is: Sweet.

      At first I really didn't know what I'd do for this; I had some ideas, but none of them were really sticking with me, and I didn't quite like them. Stuff like kittens, puppies, little kids, or desserts. Yeah. But I help out at the local music program, which means that I get to work with and be around a lot of  awesome kids every Thursday, and today I got such a blessing!

     No sooner had I walked in the door then a sweet little girl walks up to me, holds out her hand containing a purple envelope, and chips "I made a letter for you!!"

     Complete with me and her drawn on the outside with flowers. It just completely made my day and stole my heart...:)
 

      Also, on an unrelated note to photo challenges, being in a large family means you get lots of profound talks and quotes, random clicks and impromptu memory makings. I've decided to start collecting them and posting them here for a little snapshot of what our life is like. :) So, without further ado,

     Now presenting, the first week of...

 ~Moments of Hacking life~

• That moment when it hits you that being homeschooled, driving a 12 seater van, knowing how to raise and process rabbits, chickens, and cows, cooking meals in bulk, and having 10 siblings, actually isn't considered 'normal'.

• *When you hear the boys running around rampantly, tell them that people are trying to sleep*

             Little Boy #4: AH! But Gracie! He's chasing me with a knife!
           Little Boy #1: What?! Dude, this is an applecore!
           Little Boy #4: But it's like 5 inches long!

              Apparently we have abnormal fears in our house...

• *Mom and Daddy went on a date, and when they came back we were all asking how it went*

             Mom: It was really nice! We went and saw the sunset..
             12 year old: The what? *blank stare*
             Mom:  *trying to determine if he's really serious* Uh, the sunset?
             12 year old: Oh. Have I seen it?
             *Everyone gives blank stare*
               Mom: You know, the sun goes back doooown *with hand motions to illustrate her point further*
               12 year old: *lightbulb*  OHHH! Riiiight.. I thought it was some sort of movie...

Anywho, there's your dose of Hacking for this week, and more photos coming tomorrow!

     Blessings,
