Beautiful Days

Last week end we went for a walk by a pond. When we came to a stream with a bridge we thought we probably should play a game of Pooh sticks.
Whenever we happened to find a nice stick we would get it and take it back to the bridge to throw into the water. I thought some of the kids' choices of stick were a little large. especially when we had so far to walk before we got back to the bridge. Molly's did make the biggest splash...

See, we were all there. :)
Who's stick is going to win the race?

A song I like

You know I like my chicken fried
Good friends on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up...

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
And that`s home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it`s not much to talk about
But it`s filled with love that`s grown in southern ground
And a little bit of chicken fried

Good Friends on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my 4husband`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother`s love

And its funny how it`s the simple things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried

Good friends on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my husbands`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love

I thank God for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice
All the things we love
Like our chicken fried

Good friends on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
Well I`ve seen the sunrise
See the love in my husband`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love

Day 13

• I made Apple cake in an iron skillet Today. So very yummy. But, if you make it do follow Keren's advice and use only 1 stick of butter in the first part of the recipe. I did, and I was not sorry.
• It was a rainy day. Made us really need our naps this afternoon. It was very nice to have rain though. We've been having gray days a lot lately and it is much nicer to have rain with the clouds. In my opinion.
• The kids went out and played in the rain off and on today. They were collecting rain water in buckets and cups.
  
• We did our school work in very good time.
• My arm and finger are still sore from using the spray paint for Lars' bike. I find it kind of funny while it is annoying.

I better get these kids to bed.

Confession Time

Yes, if you think I've been lost, you are right, I have been. we just bought this game. The Settlers for our computer. I am an impulsive game player. There I confessed. I always feel I have to win so I end up playing until all hours of the morning as the case may be. so yea, I've been spending all my spare, and not so spare, time playing games.
