Well, Today seemed to be a long day for us so far. Isaac and Cory headed off to school, and the girls and I got ready for Esther's school field trip...to a dairy farm. I find it so amusing that a farm is the field trip destination...because I grew up on a farm, and had farms around me all my life. I do know that my own children do not get that experience, so I suppose for them it is an educational experience...it just seems funny to me :) The one thing that I wish we had seen and didnt, was a birth....DRAT! we just missed it! That would have been very cool to me! We never did get to see the milkhouse...apparently all the milking is done at the milkers level...in other words the cows are raised up...this I have never seen either...I would have enjoyed that too. The girls loved seeing the calves...and petting them. Some of them were born just yesterday...the girls had a fabulous time. Esther was hand feeding some of the regular cows and one bit her...not hard , and apparently not enough to make her stop since she kept on going. They also got to see pigs...I told her not to feed them because I am not sure what kind of chompers they have...all I know about pigs is that they have the foulest smelling manure...these ones however did not seem to smell bad...go figure!
After we visited the cows, we went and ate some at McDonalds...another treat that the girls love...I didnt even see Esthers burger...and it was gone! Gayle ate nuggets and french fries...wow did she eat fries...I dont know if she even chewed them!
Later, we headed towards home, but had to pick Isaac up from school. So we stopped at the park and played for an hour and a half to two hours...sheer delight! It is so beautiful out, and it made me feel so good! I love to swing on the swings with the girls...a kid at heart I guess!
We picked I-man up from school and then headed to the house. The kids went out to play and Gayle is taking a nap. I hate coming home to "all that I have to do" The laundry is calling ...and I dont want to listen...the dishes are sitting on the counter staring at me...and I just don't want to look at them...it certainly is putting a damper on my playful day. At any rate...I will go and put a few loads out on the line, and perhaps wash some dishes...yes..I will accomplish something constructive today!
Cory has a game tonight...2 hours away. I wont see him till well after bedtime...this is a busy week! He has games all this week and they are all "away" games! Oh well, I can't complain...it helps pay the bills! (and cory loves it!)
Enough for now...Have a Fabulous Day!
