Emmie was the official grocer, butcher, and baker. She did a great job!

Beans, noodles, brown sugar, butter, and chicken liver & heart was what we got for that day. I think Grace got some chocolate to share with everyone. It was EXPENSIVE!! :) Thank you Grace!

KK was very good at working the fire.

More wood. :)

We had to chop the wood so it could fit in our fire and to have kindling.

Boiling water to do dishes. We had oat meal for breakfast, which everyone pronounced as really yummy.

This is where I spent a lot of time. It was hot but fun work. :) Can you see the Walmart bags full of green beans and the bowls? We picked green beans again that morning for some more money, and so now our job was to snap them. A job that everyone dreaded (well, not me, I enjoy doing it)!

This was our water source for washing clothes, dishes, hands and for cooking sometimes. We got our drinking and most of our cooking water from in the house.

Grace scrubbed Nate's pants that were covered in drywall mud and got $0.02.

Grace and I washing muddy green beans. I can't remember how much we got paid for this...

Brie and Sam also washed green beans. :)

We invited Aunt Carol for lunch. :) Lunch was biscuits and stew made with carrots, potatoes, chicken, water, onion powder, chicken base, salt, pepper, and basil. It was so yummy! Grace and I made it together.

See our chairs?? Grace's rocked, Sam's was a log on a stool, Brie's was two logs on top of each other, KK and Aunt Carol has stools, and I was on a log and a little chunk of wood. :)
