the Unexpected

Both of my kids are upstairs quietly "reading"  their library books.  They are supposed to be cleaning the toy box but for now...nobody is doing anything useful.  I can't believe that they have both been to quiet for about 30 minutes.  Even as I write this they sound like they are done but this has been a totally unexpected surprise for the day.

The latest...

This spring and summer have been busy and yet somehow uneventful.  Riley will be starting t-ball soon and during a practice Carter got the first bloody nose of the year.  He was batting and walked right into the pitch.  We also took a trip to Pegram to brand the calves and got good and dirty.  I have been working on the garden and one day the boys decided to make a dam in the extra space in the garden.  They had a great time and played in one spot for 1 1/2 hours.  They had to get in the shower at 11:30 in the morning.  Riley has also officially graduated pre-school and had a great time even though Dusty and I have decided to not put him in kindergarten this coming year.  We are all looking forward to this summer and all the warmth and fun we can stand!
