Pumpkin carving with 2 year olds
Yesterday the boys, Mom and I started a new tradition, we carved pumpkins. Can you believe I have lived for 28 years never to have carved a pumpkin? Well not anymore. We started off cutting the tops off and scraping seeds, Little H was was handy with his small spoon and tiny pumpkin. *notice the […]
What’s that on your legs?
Yesterday morning the boys were playing outside in the back yard, while I was running (around the back yard), I stopped off in the house for a quick water and potty break. I mean heck they are almost 3 and there is absolutely nothing they could get into back there. You know where this is […]
Prairie Days festival
We went to our annual Prairie Day festival last weekend. They had lots of fun stuff for the kids to do, so we had to check it out. The boys rode the ponies, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Though they only walked them around 1 lap, ugh. They had face painting, a pumpkin for my pumpkins, […]
Parish Picnic
Our church had our annual Parish Picnic last weekend and was it full of fun stuff to do. Tons of bouncy houses, smaller ones for the Little’s. and really big ones for the bigger kiddos. Th boys favorite was the tractor ride that took us all around the parking lot and surrounding areas. These hats […]
Big Boy Beds
I was dreading the transition from cribs to big boy beds, but I finally put if off long enough, I mean they will be 3 in November. It’s just they slept so well in their cribs, I feared they would never sleep again. But luckily I was wrong. We set up two twin beds straight […]
Brazos Bend State Park
We took the boys to Brazos bend state park last week, it’s unlike any park they’ve ever been too. So they were a bit confused, when we got there, was it the water park, playground park? The main attraction at this state park besides it’s vast hiking trails and lakes. Are alligators!! Yes alligators live […]
Chick handling from the pro’s
We’ve had chicks on and off on the “farm” since March. Remember this? And I continue to hatch more and more. And lucky for me the boys still love each and every new chick that hatches. And since the boys have so much chick experience they thought it would be nice to share the proper […]
A hot day around the “farm”
Just a typical hot August summer day, and the boys wanted to play outside and were we do just about anything to survive the heat. I put a sprinkler out for the boys to play with, water the grass and the chickens also enjoy walking in the cool water and getting a cool drink. Minnie […]
A day at the Rice fields
I am glad I know a few, good, hard working men in my life. You know the kind that drive big tractors, combines and trucks. The hardworking, sweaty kind. The kind that don’t mind getting dirty or a little physical work. The kind that have callused, dirt, engraved hands. The kind that wear wranglers and […]
Fun at the Water park
We took the boys to the water park last week, it’s our second time this year and it only 45 minutes away, so perfect easy day trip. They have several different areas that are perfect for different age groups, this one the pirate ship is perfect for the boys. They love sliding and climbing the […]
