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!

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!

I ended my day putting this sweet little one to bed. Goodnight angel.

Hoopla

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!
