Sister K's feelings about the last game (Wednesday):
The last game was by far the most exciting and intense game of the season!! The girls won by 1 run! Trust me when I tell you there is nothing like hearing an entire softball team of girls screaming in delight as the winning run comes in over homeplate :) AWESOME!

Brother S and Brother J are really into tractors. They see Daddy riding on his tractor and when he is done he puts it away in the "tractor barn" (a term they came up with on their own :)! Every barn they see is a "tractor barn"!! We have MANY tractors in our home. Of course they need a place to park when being played with so we build them "tractor barn's". This is our Monday morning "tractor barn"!
Brother J is just devastated by the destruction of his side of the tractor barn :(
They are trying to put it back together!! Brother J is trying to look sad and pout while building it back up!

Today has been wet, wet, wet!! We are supposed to get rain and thundershowers through Tuesday! This morning was dry so Daddy got some work done outside.
Last week my wonderful FIL drove all of the way out here with his 5th wheel to help take down our swimming pool. He actually did most of it by himself while Daddy was at work!! He stayed in his 5th wheel that night and then mowed our lawn the next day! Woohoo what an awesome thing to do!! We GREATLY appreciated it.
This morning Daddy cut up the liner and rolled it up in order to take it to the dump. The neighbor came over and hauled away the deck with his flat bed trailer and then Daddy pulled out the concrete where the deck had been!! Now all that is left is to bring in some dirt and level it out!! Yaaaaa!!
After Daddy came in Sister K and I left to take her to a birthday party. Then I went SHOPPING!!! I purchased materials to make the littles some sandpaper letters. We are going to begin working on the alphabet shortly. To purchase sandpaper letters would cost a minimum of $60 - $70. More than I wanted to spend! I've already started them and so far I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out. I'll show you the finished product when they are completed.
Brother J and Brother S helped make fruit cobbler for dessert tonight!! Lots of learning going on :) They helped measure, pour and stir. They helped put the solid butter in the microwave and were surprised by what it looked like when it came out :) When I brought out the egg, both of them started saying egg and then Brother S said "chicken egg". We laughed. As Brother J was stirring the batter they were both saying "bye bye chicken egg" :) Kids are so funny! We used raspberries (Brother J likes them) and blueberries (Brother S like those). The cobbler was YUMMY!! We enjoyed it with some vanilla ice cream!
The finished (and already dug into) product.
Brother S (yes, that's a turtle neck he is wearing in 80 degree weather. He saw it in his closet and just had to wear it because it had all of those balls on it!! This is his second day wearing it! Thankfully I was able to get it off of him tonight at bedtime :)
