  • We had a nice relaxing day today.  It was cold 60 degrees, and overcast, but still fun.  Rob got a campfire going and we bumbed around it.  In the morning we headed to the beach for the first time since we got back from vacation.  It was a lot of fun, and the girls and I collected a nice little pile of beach glass.


    Jamari and Kaylin invented a new game with seaweed.

    The smaller seaweed is the princess, and the bigger one is the queen.  And they were running around talking like they were people.  *snicker*


    Rainee didn't have a pocket for her beach glass, and agate that she found, so mommy guarded them, and had to take a picture too.   Its like jewelry somehow, its funny cause really its just broken garbage.

    Kaylin with Rob's help "decorated" her princess' so that they were Indian princess snakes.  Don't ask me, I just report it I don't invent it.  She ran all over the place going SSSS SSSSS

    And a gorgeous picture of fireweed.  I'm actually intending printing this one off and putting it in a frame in my bedroom.  I have a flower picture up there that I'm not as happy with so I'll swap them out.

    This afternoon as I mentioned earlier we just sat by the fire.  At one point Rob told the two oldest to go carry a bucket of water over to Cricket as she's being staked out in the yard on a "diet".   Jeremiah was dutifully impressed by this and he found a bucket and decided to carry it to the pony too.  The only problem of course was there was nothing in it.  Regardless of this fact he walked quite a long ways for him to where the pony was carefully carrying the bucket.  He never lost the focus of the task, just headed around both of the old campground circles to the back where Cricket was and handed her the bucket.

    Cricket was really hoping there was grain in that there bucket.  But there wasn't.  ROFL.  So she quickly lost interest.  As did Jeremiah.  I'm still amazed by Jer's attention span.  Our chickens are about a 1/4 of a mile away from our house through some fairly tall grass.  He went into the garage got a handful of chicken food and walked all the way over to the chickens.  Rob realized he was missing and went to find him, and followed him to the chickens.   Rob couldn't figure out what was clenched in his hand, and opened it up.  wala  Jer wanted to feed the chickens.  *beams*  Of course we have to watch him like a hawk since he's really too young to be wandering so far on his own.  Its a good thing the river and the highway are fenced.

  • I found you on "big families are great". I liked reading this, you have a very special family. Sounds like you are enjoying every minute. I want chickens someday!
    My husband and I have 5.
    God bless!

  • Jer is a sweetheart.  He'll be your helper for a while.  Enjoy!!

  • awwwwwwwwww jer

  • Sounds like a wonderful day.  Hopefully we are going camping tomorrow.  I can just relax and enjoy the lack of things I must do.

    The fireweed picture is beautiful.

    Jeremiah is so cute.  That is such a fun age.  They are so into learning about their world.  It can also be such an annoying age for that same reason- when you have to limit their exploring.

  • Awww, how precious is that little boy?! And how sweet! Love all the pictures, too, but the ones of Jer taking an empty bucket to the pony is too perfect.
