This week was the official Halloween celebration here so we had lots to do to prepare for that. The girls were so excited to finish up their horse costumes and test them out. They also were great helpers in making props for our trunk or treat day at the church. Each family chose a theme, … Read morewhat we did this week 10/27/19
Halloween costumes and fishing were the major highlights of what we did this week. Trick or treat is this next Friday, so we decided it was time to get the girls’ costumes in the works.

In preparation for our first family visit, we finished putting the table together and cleaned up the dining room. We still have more work to do in here (look at those curtains!), but in the mean time, at least we have a real table to eat our meals at. Other than finishing the table, here’s … Read morewhat we did this week 10/13/19
Two major projects completed this week. The gross shed is officially all cleaned out and half full of hay! What a nasty project this was, so thankful its over! When I thought I had just a little more stuff in the loft, it turned into WAY more boxes than I ever thought could be up … Read morewhat we did this week 10/6/19
Another week filled with fun and chores on the farm. We had fun playing with horses and chickens, and a lot of not so fun just plain working our butts off. Our air conditioner decided to give up so we’ve all been hot. The house holds heat really well, which will be nice for winter, … Read morewhat we did this week 9/29/19
I was just looking at the pictures for this week and it feels more like 2 weeks have passed by! Between caring for an injured horse, cleaning up outside and trying to start our garden the time just flew by. The animals required so much extra time this week. Molly finally was able to walk … Read morewhat we did this week 9/22/19
Birdhouses and bikes, what more could a little girl want? When big sis first saw the bird feeder in the front tree, she instantly wanted to paint it. I thought no big deal, we’ll pick up some paint and some birdseed next time we go to the store. The bird feeder is pretty cool after … Read morebirdhouses and bikes
Big sis has always been into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Take it apart, take it all out, stack it together, see how many will fit, etc. So when I saw the idea of a busy board online, I knew I had to make one. I have rearranged it twice now, added more stuff to … Read morebusy board
A whole two days after getting the big yellow slide (aka the play set) all finished, I’d heard “help bring my babies up,” “help with little bear,” “bunny wants to slide too,” and when I wasn’t paying enough attention…”MOM, heeellp pleeeeasse!” Let’s just say, I didn’t prepare for the fact that every single one of … Read morepulley and bucket
We got a new play set!! Yes, I am incredibly excited…maybe even more than big sis, but only because she doesn’t realize what this giant hunk of wood and broken big yellow slide will soon be. At 2 years old, big sis loves to climb, run, jump and swing on anything and everything. Going to … Read morebig yellow slide
