Camp Out

You know one of the best parts about having kids?

You get to do a lot of silly things (adults normally don’t do) and it’s okay!

He’s a keeper huh?

See my new compost pile in the background!

These girls have grown. It’s about laying time!

Love.

There is something about silence.

It’s hollowing.

Sometimes “hollowing” is exactly what I need.

Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

Holiday

August 6, 2012July 18, 2018 Margie HuffLeave a comment

We had a little time off this weekend and decided to cram as many things as possible into 2 days!

First stop: Holiday Drive-In.

(David and I spent many dates here early in our marriage.)

I’ll never forget Jude’s face the first time he saw the BIG screen come on. He apparently had NO idea what to expect. His mouth literally fell open and popcorn hit his lap. I’m sure he didn’t close his mouth for at least 1 whole minute!

Popcorn, Slushies and a little pre-show baseball.

Next Day: Holiday World.

(Both places start with “Holiday.” Weird huh?)

My little diva happily refused a nap the entire day. She wasn’t going to miss a thing! She swam, road rides and had funnel cake & ice-cream with the rest of us!

She was looking a little tuckered out here!

Look Mom! You did ride a ride. We forgot about the old-fashioned cars!!

Estella’s first ride ever! Does she look like she’s having fun?

Our little end-of-the-summer hoorah!

I Make Splashes

Thunder crashes.

Lightening flashes.

Rain makes puddles,

and I make splashes.

Sunday Afternoon

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!
