Down On The Farm

We spent this beautiful cinco de mayo saturday with a trip to Sweet Seasons Farm for Art at the Barn. This is the fourth year Paulette and the Manning family have hosted this event and I have ALWAYS had to work so I was looking SO forward to this year!

It was hot and the kids got a little whiny after a while, but they did enjoy a demonstration by Mr Manning with this sheep dog. He used a border collie to round up the herd of sheep in no time flat! Carter is convinced that he can train Simba to do the same thing....we'll see, I guess!

I did score some great props (some newborn hats and a great banner) and a Mother's Day gift, a CUTE little bird feeder,  for GG while we were there. I also got a few good ideas for crafts should I ever decide to get crafty again.....ha! I think Simba may be more likely to become a sheep dog!

We left the farm and stopped at Mi Casita for lunch, then home for naps and playing outside.

Carter has spent the afternoon trying his best to learn to whistle. It would probably help if he had a teacher  who could whistle....neither me nor Kyle can whistle enough to amount to anything!  We've had fun listening to him though!

Overheard this morning: 
Carter to Walker, (after I heard the cocking of his nerf gun): "open it wider....wider....wiiider"
Walker: "AHHH"
Me: CARTER! Don't shoot that in his mouth!!!
Carter & Walker: *wild giggling*
Mercy.

Sweet Walker woke me up this morning singing my favorite song...He came up with it himself! It goes something like this: "Mama, mama, maaaaamaaaaa, mama, mama, mama,...i wuvvvv yooooouu." So sweet! Yesterday was a  particularly tough one with a NILMSTS call, so this just hit the spot! Then in true Walker fashion he looked at me right in the eye and said, "Now I'm gonna wipe a booger on you." lol! Stinker!! (p.s...he didn't, he just likes to threaten)




I am so very thankful for my sweet little blessings!
