WE went to World's of Fun on Saturday (John, Justine, Sammie, and myself. M was babysat by Jessica for the weekend.) And of course we a loads of fun. The morning started off cold and rainy, but warmed up and got sunny later. We were there from 12:30-ish until I think 6:00-ish. It was Great!! Then we went to Bob and Gail's house for Lindsays graduation. We met Gail's side of the family and it was a lot of fun. We learned how to play Mexican dominoes, ate lots of absolutely delicious food (including wonderful grilled burgers, and omlets for breakfast. At least, I had omelets for breakfast. Everybody else had pancakes, bob filled a special order for me! I LOVE his omelets!!), and had fun visiting. John has been smoke free for a week now! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping he will stick with it. Also his hernia surgery is on the 30th , this Friday. WE're a little anxious about that, but will be very glad for it to be taken care of. And his mom is coming to visit while he's off work (for his surgery he's taking a week off), so we're excited to see her. It's been a busy month for us, but definately fun and worth it.

Great post. Except for the part where you didn't put a cute new picture of my baby up. But otherwise, great post. :)

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
