Rainy Windy Days

This weekend was rainy.  We didn't get much done in the gardens, as we had wished.  Yesterday and Today are really windy and we have lots more rain in the forecast.  We got the broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kohlrabi transplants planted on Friday and Sunday.  Saturday rained all day, so we spent the time building another movable chicken pen.  We had gotten extra chicks, thinking that we would have a high loss rate like we have in the past.  Well, Murphy's Law is at work, because we've only lost 5 of the 110 chicks so far.  We decided to be ready with the space for the extra chicks.  On Monday, Josh called to tell me it was supposed to rain all week and to get the chicken pen painted before the monsoon started.  I was able to prime and then immediately paint because of the sun and crazy winds.

Rainy Day Fun

 Crazy Daddy and Johnny

Sunday, we had brunch over the campfire pit in our backyard.  Josh made pancakes and coffee over the fire.  It's always a lot of fun to cook over the fire on Sundays.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon Outside

Olue is so close to rolling over.  She likes to roll up on her side so she can see us better.  She especially likes to move so that she can watch John play with his toys.  His favorites this week are his cars.

Johnny always needs to get into Lu Lu's photo shoots, but he never wants to sit nice beside her so I can get a good picture of both of them.  He either wants to be infront or nothing.

"Johnny, Your bed doesn't have a diaper rash!"

On Monday morning, I saw John take the Vaseline that we use for is bottom into his bedroom.  He came right out and I was nursing Olue, so I just took mental note of it to take it out before his nap.  I picked up all the toys and clothes that were scattered in John and Olue's rooms before nap time, but had forgotten about Vaseline....Well, you can see what I found in John's bed when he woke up.  I just had to laugh.  He was just covered!

We mowed last night.  It went really fast, but we still got in late and John got to bed late.  We'll have to start putting John to bed before we're done working outside.  He gets pretty whiny when he's tired.

This week is VBS prep week.  Laura came with me to shop in Bismarck for Bible School.  We also spent the afternoon at the church working preparing the crafts.  I'm hoping we can finish all the prep work tomorrow, so I can get some stuff done at home on Thursday before the weekend.  It is so nice to have help with big projects like this at the church!

Josh went to Wahpeton for work today.  He dropped off Jake and Ruth's strawberry plants on his way.  He didn't want to spend the night, so he'll be home late tonight...Sounds like a long day to me, 8 hours of driving with a few hours of working.  I'm glad he'll be home tonight though!
