All things Football...

These 2 boys are brothers

...and these 2 brothers love football!

They like to play catch

They like to make silly poses when mommy asks for picturesThe older brother tells the younger where to stand to catch the ball

...and the little one listens (every once in a while he does!)
He makes pretty good catches! They both do!

The football itself is a much loved item in our home...and some of us give it kisses

They learned all things football from their dad


...and they LOVE it!

Slow dance

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic fly?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last

Do you run through each day on a fly?

When you ask "How are you?"

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores running through your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short,

The music won't last

Ever told your child,

"we'll do it tomorrow"

And in your haste

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say "Hi"

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short

The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there

When you worry and hurry through your day

It's like an unopened gift thrown away

Life is not a race

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over

Field trip to the FARM!--*Homeschooling*

We concluded the "Life on the Farm" thematic unit with a field trip to the Farm!

We went inside a combine

We visited a pig farm

We got piggy back rides at the pig farm(well-Mya did!)

We picked eggs from the chicken coop

We climbed a huge hay bale stack...

(i loved my farm girl boots!)

We also fed cows, goats and played with farm cats

We went on a hay ride at Barnyard Blooms

We ended our field trip at the Corn Maze...followed by a shopping spree(for moms) at the Barnyard Blooms antique shop.

We learned so much and we had such a good time!
