Home Alone

Well, almost! :) My whole family went to a Bible school in Welman, IA, except for Sam and I. It was very quiet, but we had an enjoyable time.

I made these doughnuts before everybody left. They were so good!!

Getting all prettied

We sold all but one of our old hens. It's nice to not have to do their chores anymore.

Mister Bull :) He just left today (03-17-16). Hopefully we'll have a calf in November!!

The manure pile

Sam and I played the game of 'Life'

School must be done! Plus eating, drinking, and snacking.

Some of our chickens got mites so I washed this hen in hot soapy water and vinegar. Plus I dipped her feet in canola oil and garlic. Hopefully that helps!

Sam and I sat at the island, coloring, and listening to stories almost every night. :)

This reminded Sam of Josh.

Naughty naughty! Coffee before your 16 (a family tradition)!

Mister Bull, again

Sam colored this picture of "Watson"

Poor guy all tuckered-out!

Sam was a big help to me!

Mister Monkey (Sam's little buddy)

Doing crossword puzzles in bed, while listening to a story.

I made some cottage cheese. Josh said it was very good!

All done! Looks pretty good, I think.

Daddy got us a bunch of snacks and fun food/drink stuff. These pizzas were a big blessing, as we cleaned houses almost every day that week.

Yum, yum

The little guys wanted to have bannock and baked beans over my brick oven/stove. So they started the fire and I made their the food. Then they started pitting ashes on their faces. I'm not sure who started it. :)

Josh built this trailer. Isn't he amazing??
