Homemaking Homesteader

Updates from the Homestead

 

Well here it is Monday again.. the weeks just fly by. We were so happy last week to enjoy a few nice warmer days. One day was about 75! It was great, but today we are back to cool and wet..  Such is life.. and to top it off my hubby has to attend a mandatory class at work tonight so his weekend will be cut short.. date night will have to wait. That is ok as I have had plenty to keep me busy today.

Last Saturday night my daughters and I had a great evening together. We did feet soaks and painted our toenails (aw the fun of teenage daughters ). Last month for my birthday Emily and Leanne bought me one of those foot bath, whirlpool thingys.. and I had not yet pulled it out of the box. So the evening just seemed perfect for it. We watched some old TV shows and everyone pampered their feet. By the time we were done even the boys had joined us to check out mom’s new toy and soak their feet! LOL.. however they passed on getting their toenails painted..    Afterwards we all made ice cream sundaes. 

Hope you have all had a productive day on your homesteads today!

Oh my! Your poor chicken! That coyote must have been pretty hungry to have come out in broad daylight.

Our school year has wound down to the extent that my son has just one and a half books left to read...and that's it. =) However, 8th grade books will arrive this week so we'll probably start up again next week. I love starting a new grade with new books - it's like Christmas when they all arrive. =)

Sounds like you had a WONDERFUL time at your foot party. And ice cream sundaes. Mmmmmm. =) Do you make your own ice cream?
