Gardening

Our super nice neighbor Mr. Daryl came over with his tractor and started breaking ground for our garden. We are so excited:) It was so much fun to watch him break ground and talk about all the yummy things that we will be able to grow.
Today I cleaned out the chicken coop and filled a wheel barrel full of poop for the garden. The kids asked if they could poop in the garden? I say no way!!! They want to know why not, if we put chicken poo and horse poo in the garden, why not our poo? I have to think about that one!!!

Kung Fu Rezin!!!

Rezin is now an orange belt!!!! He has been doing Karate now for about a month or so and he is so funny to watch. Sometimes he is in to it and sometimes he is in lala land.
The one thing about Karate that will always bring Rezin back is kicking. He loves kicking, he is one great "board breaker".

Georgia Clay!!!

The boys LOVE mud!!!! This is the damage of Rezin, Moses & a little bit of mud!!! Mud has some type of magnetic force that draws my children. The red Georgia clay is continually growing our amount of "play clothes" because of the stains. So if you ever come over and wonder why my children look like mountain children, it is because they are!!! They have fun outside and they can prove it, just look at this water.

Building a Dam

The boys can rarely ever sit still!!! We are so blessed to have the property we have because they love every piece of it. Today we enjoyed building Dams. I watched as they busied themselves. They built one up the creek earlier in the week but today they decided to move it downstream. Moses loves wading in the FREEZING water until he is begging for a bath. I love to watch their little minds work and think everything through.

Today was a good day!!

Today was so nice because we were able to spend so much time outdoors. It has been really cold and we have all been cooped up in the house. The boys are so wound up that they can't keep from wrestling, which we all know turns ugly really quick.

Cole is so in love with these goats (we all are, really). Shadow was giving him a kiss.
Cole would just love to spend all day out with the animals. He would love it if I could follow him around reading to him while he goes about his business. Outside school is his favorite.
Cole wears Dans' boats around outside and they are rather large.
We are trying to get Moses to stop chasing the goats and stay still long enough for Cookie & Shadow to come up to them.
Here they come!!
Cookie and Shadow love to play ring around the tree. They jump out at each other and it is so fun to watch. Rezin was cracking up when they started to play with him.
One of my favorite things about winter is that you truly appreciate a warm sunny day!!! When the warmth of spring approaches you can feel, see, hear, and smell everything outside is out and about, excited to enjoy that warmth. I find that there is a renewed sense of awareness when everything begins to come to life. I am getting way to excited, winter is not over and we will surely have plenty of really cold days to come. But hey, that is what makes the warm ones so fun!!!
