Garden revisited

This is what 4 weeks of rain and a little farm fresh fertilizer (OK some miracle grow but I stopped that weeks ago) will do ! the tomatoes are taller than me and the corn is WAY taller than Eric.The Tomatoes started as seedlings in my greenhouse in April.

Animal antics

Tonight I went to look in on my pig that is in the bottom pen. He was down there by himself because his brother was naughty and decided to roam. Any way I realize that he is not moving his hind leg and go in to investigate(yeah that was pretty yucky) and low and behold we think he broke his hind leg. This is at 8 pm. So I go to the house and get Big Eric. We have to get him in the upper barn where it is drier and we can keep an eye on him he says. ok this pig is at least 250+lbs! So he says we will go get the tractor and hoist him out and haul him up to the barn.(notice the WE part)
So he gets the tractor and I get the tow straps and away we go down to do this Very Dirty deed.
I was up to my Knees in Muck (remember the 3 weeks of rain we have had) and trying to put 2 tow straps around the body of the pig and get him tied up before he can figure out what WE are actually doing to him. That was fun!I strap him up and Eric hooks the straps to the backhoe. Up he goes . Well if you have ever heard a pig squeel you would have been belly laughing at this one. picture this pig hoisted up with a backhoe squeeling away at now almost 9 at night. The neighbors even came out to see what was going on ! LOL
Things are never boring around here, that is for sure!

Sarcasm

Liz: Hey mom did you know that you only have so many taste buds?
Mom: oh yeah were did you learn that?
Eric Jr : Stupid questions.com?
MOM: HELLLO
Where do they get this stuff?

Belchertown

I saw the sign for this town on our way down to the hotel Friday night and Liz said "Hey, Dad, there is your exit!"

On the way home I made him go 12 miles out of our way and pay a $1.50 toll to find the sign that said "Welcome to Belchertown" well this was the only one they had. They are "belching" in the picture LOL

I thought it fitting;)

Weekend at Six Flags

Tweety was a show off!I had some time to monkey around....,all the kids had fun .....Jake got all tuckered out (as usual)

Quote #3

I know this should be called 3yr old quotes but oh well,
I went to go Pick up Liz from her fiends house today and as I opened the door to go outside it was pouring buckets. Jake Looks at me and the expression on my face and grabs my hand and says" Its Ok Mom, I got you, we'll do it together." With a Huge smile out we ran to the car....together!

Blessings

What are Those????
Well I must say after the crazy summer I have been having ,Animals getting out,dog getting hit by a car (is totally fine by the way), cub camp drop off at 8:30 am, work ....Etc etc.
I have to say that I am greatly blessed that I have a great set of family and friends. So thanks everyone! I also have (around the crazyness) been having a great summer with my kids.
I secretly went shopping with Lizzie yesterday at the mall! What a great time we had! Didn't really buy any thing, just some good quality time.
I am also glad that my Dad, Although not doing great, is still in great spirits! That is such a great thing.And that My Mom has incredible strength, even though she doesn't realize it!
So go about your day today and ask yourself How many blessing can I count? I bet they out weigh the bad things in life!
Have a great one!
