Today we visited several farms-all to pick up our weekly supplies. I really enjoy Mondays. Today was a treat because I've never picked our bread up before, my sister-in-law always does it. I went today and it was really neat to see where our "bread lady" lives, she has the sweetest little farm and home. I loved it! It was sooooo "me". I've already got Dustin planning to build me a pulley system clothesline like she had. She got the idea from the Amish-so no wonder I liked it! Ha! And I just love clothes off the line-even the towels. It's like they are starched by nature, haha! I just love farms with chickens and animals running around and the simplicity of farm life. It's nothing fancy, just hard work and getting back to nature. The bread we get is delicious by the way! She grinds the wheat berries for the flour and makes our bread each week-it is amazing! I'm so thankful for Eileen! :0)
We then met Amanda & JuJu for lunch, then we went by Walmart to get a few things for our Halloween costumes-more on those later. I made them and I have a pic to share! :-)
We then went by the other farm to get our milk & eggs. The kids love seeing the animals every week.
I must admit-I do too! :-) If you know me well, you know I'd love to live on a farm. Maybe one day we'll have a few animals around our house. Papa says the kids are getting calves this spring but they will be at his old house, which isn't like having them at home. My kids are at a great age to start feeding them though. I am trying my best to teach them responsibility and chores. They started with chores a few months ago, when they wanted to help me sweep. Now, they have their own dust pans and brushes to help. I've added feeding the cat to Carson's "chore list". He dumps the food on the porch, which the cat hates. She gives me the dirtiest looks, as if to say, "I'm NOT believing this." I promise her he WILL get better. He's not even 2! :-) Poor "kiki" as the kids call her. That's about all the chores they have. I guess we'll add more as they become "age appropriate". I'm thinking of getting them chore charts for the fridge. They truly WANT to help and strive to please. They love when I say they are a "good helper" and just beam. Emilynn will say "I helper, I helper". She helps me put their clothes away. It's cute because she will put them where-ever. It really is teaching me to be less particular as well, so it's good for all of us for them to do chores-LOL> Carson also lets me know if the lock isn't on the dishwasher and tells me about it till I fix it, so I guess that's his job. He knows the red light is supposed to be on. These are mostly things they just want to do on their own, but I think it's good for them. I also know they are going to be super help with the baby. I have a sneaking suspicion they are going to help me a lot because they just LOVE babies.
Anyway, enough about farms & chores. I am off to bed. I promise I will post the costume pics soon, I am so proud I made something myself since I'm not all that crafty! :-)
