Tonight at dinner, which was leftovers from last night and today's lunch, we were just sitting there when Nate said, "I have to write a poem." The underside of his soda lid said he had to write a poem. I bought these flavored sodas at Sams that have interesting sayings on the cap.
I said "well write something about me."
Nate said, "now you will be amazed at my creativity, boys hand me a pen and paper."
This is his poem "Love that once lived on the wings of a dove."
"A dove that once soared on the winds from above."
"Winds start to die, and the doves cease to fly,""While true love still soars" ..... this is how far he got, he says it was supposed to be "tragic yet hopeful."
During his writing Luke kept offering tips and suggestions on love. We told the other boys to pay attention because Luke was on to something big, and he is only 6.
Luke said: "buy candy with a heart and arrow through it."
"buy her a pretty dress."
"tell her she is beautiful."
"make sure you take her to that city that is about love."
Austin said "Atlanta"
Luke "No"
Catrina "Anderson"
Luke "No, the big one with love"
Austin "New York"
Luke "yeah, yeah, New York, all girls want to go."
Luke " Make sure she has a new stove also."

Celebration Dinner
We celebrated the boys completion of testing Wednesday night with the last of the fillet mignon from our half of cow we bought last year. We ate in the dining room instead of the sun room and talked about what kind of adventures we would like to have as a family. We decided building a cabin and homesteading would be really nice for a couple of years while the boys were still young enough to enjoy it.
