This is a post to let you know that YES
we are still working on the GARDEN,

for the pet fence I found my DOGS 

HERE:
I thought it was extremely FUNNY
I usually find them SUNNING in the CHAIRS

We finished the trench and are now going to 
start working on ROTO TILLING 
We have to do it 3 times to make sure the
ground is soft enough, we also have
to rototill Manure into the mix.

Mowing the HOME TURF


It is SPRING and that means:
The GRASS is growing FAST

I wish we had one of these fine TRACTORS
ESPECIALLY for the 3 ACRES, but we don't
so JOHN has to do THIS:
(I was so proud that I got everyone in the SHOT)
I L♥VED how this Picture came out

FUN TIMES with some KIN

We had the PLEASURE of John's sister 
coming to town with her DAUGHTER

KATIE
for EASTER and it was a GRAND time

AUNTIE LAUREL brought these 
PRINCESS WANDS
all you have to do is press the button and they 
make a SPARKLING noise.

I thought the wands were CUTE 
until my GIRLS pushed the button 
over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over
as AUNTIE LAUREL said:
" IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE IN A CASINO,
 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 
SLOT MACHINES"
the batteries (QUIET at last)

My GIRLS Actually L♥ve VEGGIES

Last night for dinner I made Amish
HAM AND NOODLE CASSEROLE
It is usually a really big hit with my
family, the girls l♥ve any type of noodles 
with cheese. Usually I don't make anything
else with it, but the book I was using suggested
CARROTS, I know I like CARROTS so I thought 
it DEFINITELY could not hurt. 
 To my SURPRISE
My GIRLS actually like CARROTS too.
They will tolerate eating most veggies, 
but they ACTUALLY enjoyed the CARROTS.

Here is how the conversation went:

XANDRA: Can I Please have some more Carrots?
DADDY: SURE, OK (he puts some on her Plate)
XANDRA: (like 2 seconds later) Can I have some more PLEASE?
she used the word PLEASE twice!!!!! ☻☻☻
DADDY: OK
XANDRA: Can I have the whole pan ?
RONNIE: Me too, Me too !!!!

Our TOWN

YES we VENTURED into our TOWN
to get THESE:
Thanks Em for the recommendation of
"THESE IS MY WORDS"
which I have since finished (in like 4 days)
and am very excited for the discussions on it ,
but that will have to wait until the end of the month.

The GIRLS also wanted a monthly book to read so we chose
"FAIRY REALM"

This is our TOWN HALL and LIBRARY
They have this BEAUTIFUL tree in there lot
It is called a CRAPE MYRTLE
(It is one of my favorite tree's)

In our town library they have a
Children's Section
which is FILLED with children
activities, besides just the books

Our Last stop was for LUNCH
at KIDD'S
they have OUTSTANDINGLY GRAND food
for a GREAT price

MY MESSY and SLOW eater.
( I am not kidding about slow,
I'm talking 3 HOURS slow)

My FAST and CLEAN eater.
COMPLETE opposites in MOST Ways.
