Once in a while we get a photo of sibling love. We have caught them slow dancing in the backyard which was darn cute too but we didn’t get the camera in time. They sure seem to laugh, love, share and take care of each other more the older they have gotten. We sure love that about them too. Their understanding of each other has grown and we get to hear actual conversations between them now, which is fun and interesting most of the time.We have been busy the past month or more with friends, family, neighbors and our house. Busy but fun. Our house, or should we say our yard, and garage is full of kids these days, neighbors along with our own. The noise and activity that can last hours upon hours is taking a little getting use too but we like the fact that we have a kid friendly yard.
The boys go from riding scooters around the driveway and over a wood jump to playing some sort of ball in the yard and then falling down in the garage to watch some t.v. and wrestling with whomever else is on the floor. It’s like we have grown from two kids to ten some days when we have to remind them of the garage rules. Like, yes, you can grab an ice-cream out of the freezer but please make sure the door gets shut and eat outside of the garage. And then again we say…PLEASE SHUT THE FREEZER DOOR! Ha Ha! All the boys keep coming back so it must be all good. We know Cole sleeps well at night with all the activity and his scooter riding skills are growing every day riding with the older boys.
Jo gets in play time with the boys too but she still prefers the dirt, bugs and snakes. We actually have two girls on the street now all about the same age so Jo is getting some girl time and that’s good. Here Jo and one of the neighbor kids got to pull up all the carrots she planted. Oh, they had a good time digging them up but then Jo started to find bugs and slugs in the dirt and her real fun began. Jo and her friend, Alexis, ended up picking up every brick and laying them in the grass that lined this flower/garden bed looking for bugs. Just made our stomach flip seeing all the bricks out of place and then laughed thinking things sure could be worse. Still need to dig them back in but other things were on the list to do first.We have our garage almost done and organized and then we tackled the barn on Sunday and even finished that job. Needing a week or more of nice weather to get the outside ready for winter but we are feeling good about where we’re at. One job at a time and soon the winter list will show up with all new family projects. :O)
Happy Fall To You!
