Mommy's Girl
Daddy was working a day shift this past Friday, so I dropped the boys off at school and took the girls with me for morning farm duty. I pulled the truck up to the barn, rolled down the windows, and started a Tinkerbell DVD for them. But I kept noticing that Big Sis, who usually loves her girly movies, was ignoring Tink completely and staring longingly out her window. She beamed with excitement when I made the offer to let her help me take care of the horses! I captured as much of her adventure as I could on my cell phone cam. :)
She didn't give a second thought about dirtying her pink "crocs" and went right to work delivering clean buckets to Dakota's stall.
...and filling them.
I didn't think a princess would be interested in the poop scooping part, but she was eager to help. I gave her a just-her-size scoop, and she happily scurried back and forth from the sawdust trough sprinkling fresh bedding in all the stalls.
After all the stalls were spic and span, I mixed up each horse's grain/supplement combo and gave her the scoops to help deliver breakfast. She gave it her best effort! ...She required a bit of a boost.
Then it was on to ring the breakfast bell. Okay, it's not really a bell. But rather a loud shout out to the pasture, "H O R S E S!"
And in they came!





And in they came!
She was delighted to see Cowboy devouring the breakfast she'd made him!
She climbed up on his gate to watch him eat and informed me that, "It so yummy!"
Great job Sis...you're a big helper!
And a girl after my own heart! :)
And a girl after my own heart! :)

Almost Two Wheels
It's about that time...and Boogie B is losing the training wheels! He was a little nervous at first, but quite a go-getter about it all.

Boy Humor
Biggest Brother came home from school today with a reading assignment about the Statue of Liberty. And I just had to take a minute and offer everyone a glimpse into the mind of a 1st Grade boy...
I decided to take an extra minute and let Brother help me look up some additional facts about this great monument...for educational purposes.
We learned that the Statue was a gift to the United States from France. And that's about all we learned. Because after that, he was wrought with uncontrollable giggles at the mere mention of France - and inevitably, "I see London, I see France, I see the Statue of Liberty's underpants!"
Boys!!!
Boys!!!
Excavation Station









Thanks Grandpa G...that was fun!

Full Steam Ahead!
That would be my new external hard drive...aka a whole lot of storage to make my computer one happy camper! And not only that, but I have just received Photoshop as well!!!
The practical translation?
365 Maze Days as it used to be, will be once again!
I now have the ability to resize photos, and a cleaned off computer with which to post them!
Stay tuned as we return to regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

Thoughtfulness and Creativity
Rewind to this past Monday...
This is a picture I took Monday of Younger Brother being "helpful". He is a very tenderhearted, intuitive kid. And I know he can tell it's been a difficult week for me. After bringing me every dandelion he could find in the backyard, he decided to "wash" the windows. His intentions were so sweet, I never did have the nerve to tell him that washing the windows with dirty sandbox water on a sponge wasn't exactly helpful! :)
