Tractor Driving Farmers - Real & Pretend
Today's Quote
"I just want you to know that I came in the house to listen for the phone instead of feeding the chickens."
-Mom
In reference to me obsessively calling this morning and her having to put me off to drive kids to school and me teasing her about how we haven't talked in too long! After living most of my childhood in suburbia with her I never thought I'd hear those words come out of her mouth:) Sorry Chickens, I really wanted to talk to my Mom.
Back from Holiday - Up in the Loft - Nine days gone - So the toys are new again - Isn't Ian huge in the tractor trailer? - But he's still my baby - If you saw us together you'd know.
I didn't put Ian in the trailer. When I asked him if he wanted to drive the tractor he climbed into the back as if he knew his place as the younger brother and then Jack hopped up into the driver's seat.
I love mom...she has a love/hate thing going on with those chickens. I guess it is that she loves Keith and that he starts things around the farm like the chickens, and she gets a bit caught up in the fun...and then gets stuck feeding them, bummer. Glad you finally got her on the phone, it sure can be hard some days. I love how country that quote sounds....and how not exactly "country" she is, but she is getting there, chicken by chicken.
Oh, and your boys, are absolutely adorable. Tell them Aunt Amy says "John the Rabbit....Yes, ma'am.
"
You are going to miss that big beautiful play room. I love those sweet boys.

And yeah! That play room rocks! Lovely light.
