Saturday with the girls

Today, we took the kids yo the farm.  Scott and I were loading wood while they played.  The first trip they watched a movie in the van since the cows were nearby.  After we brought that load back and unloaded we went back, this time Xavier rode in the truck and fell asleep.  When we got to the farm the cows had moved on so the kids were able to get out and play.  and play they did!  

Building their rock house!

They had a WONDERFUL time!  Which was good since we went back for a third load of wood!  Afterwards they were so filthy that I ended up spraying them down with the hose before they could come in the house.

We let the kids have a bath and nap then we let them put swimming suits on and play in the sprinkler and water table. 

  

                                                         

While they played I got dinner ready and Scott got the fire going.  We had hot dogs and I fixed a chicken and veggie packet for myself.  

After dinner we got the kids bathed and ready for bed.  I love having the girls here.  I was able to play with Addison's hair and the three of us painted our toenails!  

Lizard Hunting

This afternoon I heard the leaves under the open window rustle.  I looked and saw that the umm...resident lizard was out there.  Shortly after I saw it Xander woke up from his nap and I told him about the lizard.  He decided he needed to go hunting for the lizard so that is what he did for quite awhile!  Unfortunately, Xander wasn't able to actually catch that lizard, it was too quick for him.  Xander has caught lizards before and frogs too...it is one of his favorite things to do!

Going to catch a big one

                                                     I'm not afraid!

Xavier wanted to help too!

Xander had it cornered here but couldn't get it...the lizard somehow got away without us noticing where.

After Scott got home we had dinner on the fire pit.  It was the first "real" cooking we have done on it since we (okay Scott) built the fire pit.  We have done hot dogs on it before though.
