What a week!!

I know, I know. It has been a week since the last post. I try, but am not always able to do it daily. This has been a crazy week.

Simon woke up on Monday morning with a "sore cheek" I knew what that meant. Infected salivary gland again. I called the dr for antibiotics, she suggested seeing an ENT. So, he went to school, swollen cheek and all. We saw the ENT on Wed. He has recurrent Paratosis. Occurs in kids between the ages of 5-10. Nothing serious, just annoying.

On Thursday he slammed his pinkie finger in the car door. Not pretty, lots of tears, lots of blood. He is fine now, but it was scary.

Friday night was our BIG harvest party with the 21 kids. They had a blast with in the dark scavenger hunts, pin the nose on the scarecrow, stories by the bon fire and just running around the yard in the dark with the flash lights. God was so good to us, the weather cleared up for the party and when it was all done, the rain started again. What a blessing. I can not believe I did not take 1 photo at the party, too busy with crowd control. They were all really good and had a great time. Here is a photo from about a month ago at a fall function

Today, Saturday, I did some photos for Laurie's kids, adorable. Then off to the Mineshaft for lunch and games. We spent the afternoon with the Bushman's and had LOTS of fun!! They are such good friends. I am exhausted, Randy is up north, so off to bed early for me.

Sad day

Thursday, today. We found this tiny adorable little duckling that was abonded by his mom and siblings. He had a hurt leg and they left him behind. SImon and I decided we would rescue him and make him well and then set him free. We took him with us to school, showed all his friends and his teacher. His final instructions to me on the playground were..."mom, take care of my duck until I get home" I knew I was doomed. Well, sadly the tiny duck died. Here is a photo of him. We then had a ducky funeral with some of his friends. It was all good until Jackson dug him back up and was carrying him around!! Daddy and Simon found a good spot for him and reburied him tonight, next to the 3 dogs and 2 cats we already have buried in the back yard. Rest in peace.

life is so busy

Where do the days go?? I try to blog everyday so you can all keep up with us, but at the end of the day, I am exhausted!! Lets see, we'll start with way back last Friday. It was our mom's and kid's Friday Fun Day. Some of us moms and kids from his class regularly get together to do a fun activity on Friday afternoons after school. Last Friday was no exception. We were all at the zoo. I have attached some photos of our trip. Who needs to see animals when you have your friends around to play with. It was a great day of fun.

Frog pond

Well, we finally made it to the much talked about "frog pond" We went with some good friends..it was all boy. They were so excited. 1 frog and 5 fish were caught. We were tormented by a big fish we labeled "dead eye" He looked like he had been hooked in the eye before but somehow escaped. Well...dirty dead eye would swim up close to the bait and then turn his nose up at it. He did this many times which was very frustrating to the boys would wanted to land a big one. It makes for a good fish story anyway. We have heard there are HUGE bullfrogs in this pond, so we will return!!
