Life Lately!

 First, Happy Birthday dear Mawna :)  
Thanks for always helping me get the girls to dance (this is from the recital in June!)



Check out our early morning visitors from the other week:


School routine is sinking in....and this boy loved having a show and popcorn all to himself....life of the youngest ;)


We've experienced a range of emotions:

April's quote for purple day:  "This purple day is going to be a hit for me." 


Labor Day weekend provided some relaxation on Lake Arthur!


Hair trim for Peter....and it's a little shorter than I intended....of course. So, I tried spiking it - Peter didn't mind!


And, dance started up again for the school year! Both girls have class on the same night this year! :)

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)  

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!
