Farm Fun

This weekend we had a great visit to the farm, we rode out on Friday with Denise and Grandma and Grandpa, and arrived at Tim and Penny's just in time to get the party started! Archer had a great time playing with Jessie and Emily, and Shelly was passed from one set of arms to the next while we all talked and told stories for the night. The real fun began on Saturday morning when Archer had a horseback ride, helped Farmer Tim feed the dry cows, saw a new calf that had just been born, helped cousin Jessie feed the calves, and that was all by 8:30 in the morning!

It took us all week to prepare for the overnight excursion to Argyle but the planning and work was definitely worth the time spent with family and the memories we made together.

Stooges

Today, the dog got into.... the diaper pail. Little bits of chewed up diapers everywhere, the windowsill even! But that's all in a day's work - out came the vacuum and the fun began. The dog ran to hide from the noise while Archer ran around me in circles shouting "the monsters are going to get us the monsters are getting us!!" When he was a baby sometimes the only thing that would soothe him was the noise of the vacuum, now it seems to infuse him with energy, and Shelly looks around at us as if we're all crazy. I think sometimes from the outside we must look like the three stooges chasing each other in circles and that's how I feel most days - completely out of control, incapable of accomplishing anything but having fun along the way.
