Wednesday May 30

Madi and I went running this morning together again.

I am really enjoying it.

She seems to enjoy it too, cause she keeps asking me tonight if we get to go again tomorrow.

*****

We spent some time cleaning up in the house today before playing outside.

Madi and I started to weed the garden.....I shouldn't have procrastinated so much.

But the rows we have done so far look good, we just need to finish :)

No work on the barn today.

But we did move the chickens in there last night and they were sure happy girls today with all the room they had.

We also went to Home Depot where Dad spotted a really good deal on wood.....

And like we always do, we got a little project A.D.D.!!!!!

We got enough wood to build our deck for about 1/4 the price....or better!!!

We got home to late to start anything on that today.....but I am sure we will play a little with it tomorrow.

I really think this will be so great.

I would love for Elsie to freely go in and out while we are working outside.

And with the access to the backyard being all the way downstairs....that makes it hard for her.

This will be like another room added onto the house.

It is gonna be perfect.

We just need more hours in the day to build it....then enjoy it :)

*****

We made a little sandbox for Elsie today.

Well, Dad did.

This was the container we had the chicks in.....that they were majorly growing out of.

Brent got it for free as scrap metal when he picked up a tractor mower.

It worked good for the chicks, then Dad cut the bottom out and buried it into the ground (after I painted it...)

And wal-la!

Add some sand and you have something to keep Elsie busy outside for hours!!!

Awesome!!!

She was a happy girl :)

With very happy toes!

*****

Port was excited about it when he woke up from his nap.

But we headed to Home Depot when he woke up, so he didn't get to play much.

So when we got home, we let them play again....

We put it right up against a big tree, so it should be in shade most of the day.

Perfect!

*****

Cass really wanted to shoot the BB gun today.

She was pretty good.

Looks like a pro too :)

*****

Sweet Madi chose to work with Mom and Dad instead of playing.

Such a good kiddo.

Even though she gets disgusted with the chickens when they poop on top of their water can.

Good kids....good day.

Can't wait to see what we do tomorrow!
