Morning on Old Crow Farm has brought sunshine with 100 degrees by afternoon. I know these days are coming to a close (Ok, I'm praying this is the case) so I've decided to quit complaining about them. Instead, I'll just carry on in my nice air conditioned house and pretend the snow is blowing outside my window.
Last night I had a pleasant surprise~~~~ Keith decided to drag the boat out and take the little ones fishing and boating at a near by lake. From past post you know how much I hate the water so there was no way I was going along. (Not to mention the heat would have killed me!) With Keith out of the house and no little ones to run after, I set about thoroughly enjoying myself. The first order of the evening was a nice hour long chat with my sister. I'm trying to talk her into coming to the hook-in with me but I'm afraid I'm not having any luck. She said she tried hooking some time ago when our local library offered a class (Darn, I wish I had known about that because I sure would have taken it. Then maybe I would KNOW what I'm doing!!) and actually hated it.
Once we got off the phone I went in and put a George Jones CD in the player and for the next couple of hours George sang and I hooked! It's not very often I'm childless and I have to admit it was nice for a change. I got my cat finished and have now moved on the cream colored circle that surrounds him. I'd like to finish that up by afternoon.
Once my crew got home it was back to life as normal. Little ones were full of tales of seeing "jaws" (Yes, I know we're in Kansas so figure that one out! HA) and how they took turns driving the boat. In all honesty, I think they had more fun playing in the MUD along the shore than anything else. Their swimsuits were so nasty I had to wash them twice this morning. There's talk of going again and I'm already thinking what I can do while they're gone!
Since we are going to be all cooped up in this ole house I've decided to start back in on my "school routine". First we'll do multiplication cards and then we'll do our two minute mystery....I bought a wonderful book at yard sale a couple of weeks ago that is full of short mysteries. (Most are only two pages) We love reading them as a family and then trying to figure the clues out to see what really happened. Sure makes for some lively discussions.
Well girls the day is slowly slipping away so it's time to get hang out a load of clothes and get in gear. Stay inside and think cool thoughts! Hugs, Sher |
