crossing the border

We are headed North to visit Canada for the week. Everyone is so excited as this is our first time. William has done research and found all the places we should visit and eat.

I have been randomly posting lately and since we will be away I most likely won't be back until late June. It has been a busy month for us and there will be lots to share.

See you then.

pretzels and play

We met up with some local homeschoolers today to make pretzels and play. The boys had fun and are beginning to meet some pretty nice people. Hoping to make this a monthly occurrence.

dairy festival parade

 

Big happenings were going on all last weekend. We attended our first Dairy Festival. The boys thought it was neat. We got to see a pretty cool parade.

We even bought a piece of land for the Cow Plop. Now what is a cow plop you may ask(as did we).  It is when they march a cow down the street and hope she poops in a good spot, preferably yours. They paint a big grid on the street and number them, Then you buy a square. The boys chose 149, combining their birth dates. However we were not the lucky winners. There's always next year.

fun run

The boys participated in a kids fun run last week. William ran about a 1/4 of a mile while Landon's race was maybe an 1/8 of a mile.

They have been running every morning around our driveway(it is like a track). Trying to see if they improve their time each day. Kinda a fun way to kick-start the day.

The race was fun but HOT HOT HOT. Almost 80*.  They each received a ribbon for partcipating.

And while his big brothers were running hard, Harkin took a nap:)

making soup

Love that they both still enjoy such imaginative play.

off the needles onto baby

I had such hopes that I would be making sweater after sweater for this little guy. I started this sweater before I gave birth. I was working on it in the hospital, helping me relax. Then we came home and life began with a newborn.

It is suppose to fit up to 3 months and that is exactly where he is at. It is a bit short but is a perfect little sweater for our cool summer days. A mix of cotton, silk and wool, it feels delightful. He will wear it day after day to get use out of it before he outgrows it totally.

And now onto the next project.
