First day of school

Philip was gone before I got up. He loves school. He doesn't care much about learning. It's just a good social club to him. Thomas doesn't like school. That's because he has trouble with friends. But he is smarter then Philip. And Sarah was happy to go today. She will start in the 3rd class. We want her to go to the 2nd grade. The teacher said we would talk. They may not have space in the 2nd class. I know they will pressure us to keep her in the 3rd grade. But they don't see Sarah melt down from the stress of home work that's too hard for her. I feel out numbered. But I'm praying a place opens up for her. I'm praying she can move into the 2nd grade. I feel it's very important to firm up her foundation before we move forward. She can go farther in the long run if she is really strong in the basics. I'm making grape juice from beautiful grapes my friend gave me. I need to wash our walk ways. There is allot of work to do to get ready for the party we host on Saturday. Jessica is out with her teacher. So it will be a very busy week of hard work. God help us!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
