Thunder crashes.
Lightening flashes.
Rain makes puddles,
and I make splashes.
The weekend’s busyness made everything sort of a blur.
Birthday parties, fun & family!
My husband, David, spoke at our Sunday services this morning.
This afternoon, finally, we slowed down a bit.
The boys had a good time jumping on their new trampoline from their Huff Grandparents. It was a surprise birthday present for Roman! He had a big Alvin and the Chipmunks Chipwrecked party on Saturday with all his friends. Photos coming soon!
We had our first batch of garden beans for dinner! They were so yummy. The boys were proud since they planted the seeds and the picked the beans!
Jude examining a centipede and rolly polly bug he caught while helping me plant in the garden this afternoon.
The chickens discovered my garden for the first time this morning!
They wondered all the way to the other side of the yard and feasted on one tiny tomato before they were caught!
This afternoon my hubby put chicken wire up around the garden for me.
This is their little portable home.
I planted sweet potato for the first time today in an empty garden spot. I can’t stand to have any extra room in the garden without something growing!
butternut squash.
okra.
tiny cucumbers.
I ended my day putting this sweet little one to bed. Goodnight angel.
This is us.
No spectacular happenings.
Just silly bustling hoopla all day long.
Little Momma turned 7 months old yesterday!
She loves her chick chick chicks!! I think someday she might be dressing them.
So, apparently chickens like to take “dirt” baths. They find any dirt they can, roll in it, then flap their wings! Dirt flies everywhere… It is quite an odd thing to see.
You can see my happy green bean plants climbing up the lattice I made for them!
Look at this boy go! I drew the world and he filled in the details all on his own! He added each of the seven continents from memory. I’d say first year Geography was a success!
Oh sweetness! Can I cuddle up in the quilt too?
I love these babies!
Fresh lettuce variety from the garden! It was delicious with our Asian Pork Tenderloin last night!
Every so often, one of these unusually calm days pop up unexpectedly.
Boy, did I need it more than ever!
Everyone was good. No fights. No crying. Things got accomplished. Lots of laughing & silliness.
This little angle is lying on my baby blanket.
I found it this week. It was made by my aunt when I was born and has my initials stitched into the back.
Oh! She is just scrumptious.
When I look at this picture I just want to kiss those little cheeks, make her smile & hold her close.
Learning to use measuring cups in math.
These chickens are cracking me up!
They follow us around the yard and chirp at us when they want something.
Today, I was kneeling down working on something in the yard. One just walked right up to my leg, as close as it could get and started chirping away.
They stay right together all the time. They follow each other around the yard and cuddle together in their coop.
Two hawks were flying overhead today circling our yard though. Doesn’t seem like a good thing… Maybe we shouldn’t get too attached.
Roman was proud today that he finally figured out how to catch one of these fast little ladies.
Roman FINALLY made it up to Super Student in class today!! Big candy rewards for that one!
You can see Jude here playing with his favorite little buddy. The cat’s name was initially “Tigress” but Jude seems to have renamed it “Figaro” since Minnie Mouse has a cat with this name.
This is Hazel. I think she is getting a little too comfy. She found a nice warm spot to lie down…

I’m so looking forward to summer!
Free movies and bowling every week.
Tons of play dates scheduled.
My sister’s sweet baby girl is coming soon.
It’s gonna be fun!
