Naughty OR Nice?

 

The boys were excited for this picture until Brittany actually started pulling those lights!
 
I hope everyone else is enjoying some family time this Christmas season.

It's Almost ....

It's almost . . . HARVEST TIME! For the Wheat Crop   Luke Bryan can sing it far better than I can say it! I am getting a little ahead of myself with the harvest time song though.  They just completed peanut planting and have started with cotton.  If it is the Lord's will, I'll get to show you pictures when those are ready for harvest too! While we're on the farm subject our middle farmer, Lockwood , will graduate Kindergarten next week.  He is very excited that he gets to be "Old McDonald" and ride on the school tractor in their play.

A day in the life: Cotton Planting

Image
It's 10:54pm on a Tuesday.  Doug is still planting away at the field.  My dedicated, hard working, passionate farmer has been known to log some long days.  The past few weeks I realize just how often.  We miss him when he's not home for supper with us.

(A) This hanging shoe contraption hangs on the door in the laundry room.  I think I am the only one in the house that knows this exists. (B) These three bins are also in the laundry room for shoes.  These get used a little more than the hanging rack.  Only because when the boys - all three of them, take off their shoes at the laundry room door I toss them in here. (C)  This basket sits at the double doors into the dining room.  Although we strictly use our back door(s) for entry we are not partial to just one.  So, when I noticed the shoe pile up here I put this basket there. And (D) - we do have closets for EACH person in the house that are roomy enough to accommodate a few pairs of shoes. So, back to this picture.  Brittany had FOUR...
