The Perfect Memorial Day

Today the Foys:

Straightened up the house

Sold ALL of the chickens we didn't need

Went to WalMart

Then my best friend and her boys came over and we swam, ate, BBQ'd, and had chicken races (I told you they were great pets)

We did all of this for hours until the kids were wiped out!

Hello Summer

Backyard Clippings

Successful Frog Hunting

Last Day of School Swim Party

Backyard Camping

Princess Shows

End of Another School Year

Yesterday Nathan graduated from Kindergarten. We're very proud of his hard work. Buddy struggled with reading in the beginning. But, he decided it was time to learn. He put in extra time practicing. Now he's an ace reader (and a first grader!)

Sophia is sure that today (the last day of school) is another pajama day. She insisted on wearing her ill-fitting Scooby Doo pajamas. These are her favorite jammies and it doesn't bother her one bit that they are too tight or too short. She and I waited outside this morning to watch the other kids as they walked to school. We were looking to see if it really was jamma day. She grew impatient and ran off to school.
Please bless that today really is pajama day.


David and I have been sprucing up the backyard and the pool. We even turned the heater on! We're having some friends over (about 20 kids and their moms) for a Last Day of School Swim Party! It's gonna be insane. I'll post pics later.

Homestead Update

Our salad bowl

We've been enjoying a fresh, yummy salad everyday. It's interesting how the spinach and different lettuces we eat from the garden taste completely differently than the same thing from the grocery store.

The corn is getting taller!

We love our chickens!

We still have 25 girls. I know we'll have to start giving some away.

I just can't imagine who I'd let go. They have been wonderful pets.

Yes, they can be a bit smelly. But, they are so interesting and fun to watch.

We've started to let them walk around the backyard.

Harold, the bunny, also lives in the backyard now. He's an illusive lil bugger. We usually find him hiding under the rose bushes. When the sun goes down Harold graces us with his presence. He loves to romp around the yard in the twilight.

SWAGGER WAGON

This is perfection! Only, now I really want this stupid car. Just kidding. Not.
