Day 51 Worn Out

It was a busy two days.....went to state tournament....but only to see our Merritt boys lose. :(  We were disappointed but we got to spend the night with my folks and then play there all day today.  This is what we did...well...no pics of burying the dead cat JJ and Papa John found in the wood stack.  But the rest was a great day!!! :)

 This GINORMOUS slide was rented and blown up in my brother's barn for my nieces 13th bday party!!  My little kids played on this 2 whole hours before the party!!!!

 Time to feed  the bottle calves! 

Because driving the farm truck and gator just wasn't enough!

They had to get out THE BIG ONE!!!!!!!

(JJ wanted to put the plow on too! Papa said he's drawing the line!!)

He was worn out too!!!  They were asleep in the car 5 minutes down the road and straight to bed...that was three hours ago!  Thank you mother and daddy!! LYL!!! YSD

Day 50 Spring Cleaning

Well....of course it was another morning of "one thing leads to another."  :) The morning started out with the kids in the backyard....before 9:00am.  Then we moved to the front driveway....they were dressed...I was still in PJ's. It was a tad chilly so I put on my coat....my nice "church" wool, long coat.  With cute springy PJ's and red flipflop house shoes.  No...no pic of that! :)  We played in the garage and on the drive....radio on, sidewalk chalk, bikes, scooters and I swept out Dusty's side of the garage.  Then I said, oh...if I weren't in jammies I'd pull weeds out of the flower bed.  JJ, being the dirt dude he is, offered to do it. Well I knew where this was going...so I changed my coat at least...still in jammies.  But we pulled weeds, I cut back old tall dead grass and we spent over 2 hours outside this morning.  We had a lesson about roots....how deep the roots are on the weeds is how we are supposed to be with Jesus...deep in His Word with Scripture so that we can't be pulled away from him.  It was a good lesson!! :)  

Romans 11:16 NIV

If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

day 49

random pics....because I'm behind and its late...

A friend told me one day last week, "Shannan...I'm glad you let your kids get dirty."  My response....I can't NOT let my kids be dirty....they love it and it really just is in the core of (at least JJ's) their being!  Really.  It is.  I  don't think his blood is red...its dirt brown!! :)
