As the girls headed back to school today, Ana said to me "well, I guess vacation is over." Boy, isn't that the truth! It was an absolutely beautiful weekend and we tried to enjoy every bit of it - even if we were working outside. It sure didn't seem like hard work when the sun was shining down on me anyway.
Our weekend was pretty laid back and that was great. Chad has a large "honey do" list and has decided to start some of the projects before he gets busy with harvest. I am loving the stage that Kale is in right now. In just the last two weeks he has really become independent and has found that it's okay to play by himself which allows us to get so much more done around the house which couldn't come at a better time! About the only excitement this weekend was going to our neices birthday party in Graettinger. It was a fun day for the kids because Graettinger has a Labor Day celebration with rides so the kids were all in heaven. You may think the picture of Kale shows him having some apprehension on the roller coaster, but honestly, he was in HEAVEN. He would have ridden it over and over. Ana, being our trooper that will try anything once, went on it with him and has found a new love, I think. Yay for Mommy who loves to ride them as well!!
The other picture is of the kids playing farm with Chad. They set up a whole farm operation with each kid having their own duties. Chad combined, of course. Kale caught the grain and cleaned the animal lots. Ana and Mia were in charge of taking care of the animals and going to auction to buy more. I don't think the kids ever thought there would be something they could ALL play that would be so much fun.
Hope you all had a great weekend as well!! Take care.

I had no idea you had a blog, I'm such an addict. I think I'll create a name for my addiction and make millions because I'm sure I'm not the only one. Layla asks about Ana often and we're praying for you guys every night. There is just something about a little 3 year old praying that melts my heart. Layla's so concerned about her "friend she rode big trucks with," and is glad Ana is feeling better.
Carla et al - great to catch up on your family - seems Chad and I talk about the families often but, it is good to see more from your view - we are praying for you guys!
