"I can't believe we get to do this!"
"All done!"Hello, all--
One day this week, while we were together eating lunch, Faith and Joy were enjoying their favorite portion: watermelon. The discussion turned to musings about just how much watermelon these two 6-year-olds could eat. Being the focused, in -the-know kind of guy that he is, Daddy proposed a luncheon for Faith and Joy of only watermelon...as much as they wanted to eat. We asked Bee to buy 3 watermelons, and slice two of them (each on a platter), keeping the third in reserve.
The next day, the twins squealed with delight when they saw the mountains of watermelon at their places. They ate and ate. Finally, Faith said she was full. She had eaten about 90% of the watermelon. Joy was still munching. After finishing the whole watermelon, Joy, too, said she was fully satisfied.

You might think that they would be tired of watermelon. Not so! They were each ready for their usual 6-8 slices after their meal at supper tonight.
Though not so scientific, the watermelon experiment was so much fun. We have 11 people for lunch every day around our table (7 Brewers, 2 Eubanks, Chau, and Bee). I don't know who enjoyed the whole event the most.
Grace and peace!
