Original sin

I thought every night as I put the boys to bed how very proud I was of them for keeping their bed room clean. Yesterday I even went out and bought them Lego Star Wars for the wii. At lunch I told them they only needed to pick up the few cloths that were on the floor, and whatever was under the bed and then they could have their new game. Whatever was under the bed! Do you realize how much you can actually fit under a bed? It took me 20 minutes to drag everything out from under their bed. And it reminded me of sin. When we sin the first thing we do is hid it. So for the boys it meant hiding candy wrappers, and Lego that they were too lazy to pick up. Then comes the blame. They are blaming each other for the mess. Now they wanted us to wait for them so they could be the first to play Star Wars. I'm sure they would have sat there all day, and tomorrow...just blaming each other. Not working. Not cleaning. I'm smarter then that. Nicole and Juergen are playing Star Wars on the wii. Lets see how quickly the boys get over the blame game and start cleaning their room.

Oh Amy, I think our boys are clones of each other. They cannot seem to keep thier room clean. They have bunk beds & Evan has the bottom bunk and he stuffs everything under the bed. I recently helped him shovel out the mess...candy wrappers, toys, clothes-both clean & dirty. It is amazing what you can fit under one bed. The blame game is played at our house as well. How long did it take for the boys to get things cleaned up to play the wii?

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.
