Rain and Rest

We had a very, very rainy day yesterday.

And I am so thankful for the rain!

We had six dentist appointments in the morning, and six mouths full of happy healthy teeth!

The afternoon was a nice change of pace for us all.

The kids played happily….and Addie and I organized here and there, and cleaned things here and there.

When I heard muffled giggles, I went to investigate.

Do you think they at least organized and cleaned while they were in there?

Me neither.

Praise God for a day of rain and rest!

Life Lately

Our days right now have a pattern.

Feed and water the animals, feed and water the humans, do dishes.

Repeat.

Of course we throw other things like watering the garden, maintaining the land and the house and lots more as well!

We work hard.

But we play hard too!

They are super cute!

Which reminds me, I need to check on those little guys.

There is still a lot of kitchen work, but I have always loved being in the kitchen.

Addie does too.

How many chunky monkeys do you think 84 bananas will make?!

I really counted them!

Made the time it took to peel and freeze them go faster.

He, he.

Kayla found this when she was watering the garden this afternoon.
