Good morning everyone! I missed everyone while I was gone. No internet for a week made me feel like I was out of touch!

We are back from our Arkansas vacation. The grandparents were thrilled we were there. It was a great experience for our four boys. My inlaws live on 10 acres. The boys rode riding lawnmowers for hours each day. They made wooden bird feeders with grandpa in the barn.

We spent 2 days in Missouri at an aunt's farm. They own several but took us to the cattle farm for part of a day. The boys loved feeding a baby calf that needed bottle feeding only. We went to their lake and the boys spent a fun afternoon fishing. A new experience! Then we went to the farm and rode the big pieces of farm equipment. One of my boys fell in a ditch and needed to be hosed off, literally. I asked my husband for help. Before helping, he grabbed the video camera to make sure we documented the boy covered in gunk!

Glad to be home. Back to school today and picking a contractor this week for the house remodel. Several field trips for the boys, also.

Hope everyone has a great week. Anything exciting going on?
