Here’s the rest of the fun we had at The Harvest Farm and Pumpkin Patch! I had a terrible time getting the pictures inserted into my blog post. My format for editing and posting blogs seems to be messing up. It’s frustrating. I love electronics and computer stuff, but I like it to work right! I don’t […]
Pumpkin Patch
We made it to the pumpkin patch! We had a very fun day! We played, we snacked, we picked out pumpkins, we rode, we petted animals, we played some more. We did it all! My cousin and her kids went with us, so we mamas enjoyed chatting while the kiddos enjoyed playing! We had beautiful weather, […]

Here comes the wagon train.. Wagon train campsite.. Stringing […]
Bathtime at the Zoo
This is what met me when I walked into the bathroom last night. Dinosaurs. Cows. Horses. Sheep. Sea Creatures. Although my kids loved taking their baths with these assorted animal figures, their mother didn’t even necessarily want these guys hanging out in the bathroom while she took her bath. Strange, I know. But, they take […]
Peace Treaty Pageant
Here are pictures of the Peace Treaty Pageant. For pictures of the parade go here. We had a fun day. It was a little warm in the afternoon and a cold drink certainly tasted good. Teepees. Really neat to see, but I’m thankful for my house. Really thankful. Meet and Greet […]
A Homemade Fort
There was a fort in my backyard a few weeks ago. My kids had a great time building it and playing in it. They are quite creative at dragging things from all corners and creating something they want to play in. It doesn’t look like much from some standpoints, but they don’t care. Being a […]
Fun at the Field
It’s fun to hang out at the field when there’s a combine running. It’s fun to watch. It’s fun to take pictures. It’s fun to ride. It’s fun to race around the field. It’s fun to play in the truck. It’s just fun. And since I am so organized and efficient and everything is always […]
Saturday
I need a Saturday after every day of the week. As in…Monday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, and so on. It’s so nice to not have to think about schoolwork. Or laundry. Sometimes I do laundry on Saturdays, but often I don’t. It’s nice to catch up on things that need catching up on. Some […]
Faces For a Flip Book
Do you remember or do you have one of those little books with a picture on each page and when you flip through them it looks like they are moving? My children were amused to flip through pictures of themselves on the camera and see them move. My dearie daughter had a great time posing, hence the […]
A Club
I think I’m going to start a club. Are you interested in joining? I can’t quite decide what to call this club. Maybe everyone can toss a name in the hat and we can pull one out or vote or choose the sixth one according to alphabetical order. Some ideas I have thought of are, “The […]
My Monkey
Do you like to climb? What do you like to climb? Mountains? Ladders? Windmills? Ropes on tire swings? I’m so glad I don’t have to do that.
Of Snakes and Mowers
This is a tale of a mower and a snake. And a heroine that does not like snakes. I repeat, DOES NOT like snakes. This particular heroine had a yard that was in desperate need of attention and trimming. Even though it was 105-110 degrees most of the summer with very little rain. This heroine […]
Summer’s End
It was hot this summer. Over a hundred hot most of the summer. It was also dry. Not much rain at all. One really great thing about hot and dry was it dried laundry that was hung outside and it didn’t usually take too long. That was nice. Something else I was and have been […]
A John Deere R
There was some rearranging and moving of machinery on our farm the other day. It resulted in my little man getting to leave his schoolwork and go help for a little while. This did not make him sad. Plus, he was still learning, just not reading, writing, or arithmetic. No, he wasn’t learning one of the […]
Fresh Peaches and Fresh Peach Dessert
We have been enjoying fresh peaches. They are so yummy. I remember eating Red Haven peaches when I was a kid. It was such a treat to walk through the backyard, munching on a fresh peach till nothing was left but the seed. Peaches are my husband’s favorite fruit and my kiddos both […]
The Pet on this Farm
I’ve been wanting to introduce you to one of the top priority pets on this farm. You’ve met Sprocket and various cats. This pet is more the pet of the farmer and his wife instead of the farm kids. I think the farm kids like it, but the farmer and mrs. farmer like it better. […]
