Cracking Nuts

Last week we got 5 lbs of shelled nuts. We never realized until after getting the nuts that we do not have a nut cracker. We went to the Dollar Store and found one. Ben did not like the way it worked so he got his piece of marble from the Columbia River Temple and my little hammer and proceeded to crack all the nuts. It was a great family activity. Cynthia loved to help, but to get anything done; we had to do all of it after she went to bed.
