Field Trip Surprise

On field trip day, Emily wanted to take her lunch so she used the following lunch bag.
When she came home from the field trip, she put the lunch box in her shoe basket. Later when I went to pick it up to put it in it's proper place I was surprised to find rocks in it. I shouldn't have been, she is her Father's daughter.

Normal Day

by: Mary Jean Iron

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.

BOOOO-TIFUL

Emily went on a class field trip yesterday to the pumpkin patch. She had a blast. Not only did she get to pick out a pumpkin for her very own, but she also visited with the animals, took a hayride, and learned how the pumpkins are grown.

Halloween Bat

Emily picked out this stuffed sock bat to make.
Here it is. She actually dressed it, put wings on it, wrapped the wings around its body and then made a blanket around it to keep it warm. She plans on hanging it in our tree on Halloween night.

Happy Fall

Happy Fall!
Hartford made a trip to Lowe's today and purchased some flowers. He even purchased some daisies which are my favorite. The grasshopper come along for the ride.
There aren't any flowers in front of the mail box because some very mean fire ants have taken up residence there.
Emily helped Hartford plant the flowers.

Can this child be mine?
She's actually holding a worm.
I helped plant the flowers too. I took the pictures. You have to take pictures when you plant Flowers, right? Oh, just humor me!

Just a Swinging

Can you hear the bunches and bunches of giggles?
