A swimmingly lovely day.

I don't really have time for pictures today. Today is swimming. I know this because on days that it is swimming Lucy wakes up at the crack of dawn and about every minute until 4:00 PM she asks, "Is it time for swimming yet?". I feel like yelling "GET A WATCH" but that wouldn't help because she is 4 and doesn't tell time well enough and then I would spend my day explaining time and still telling her that it's not 4 o'clock yet.

One day UNDER the rainbow...

I decided to keep Ellie home from school today.
BUT
that's a story for another day.

So I woke up and got showered.
(because I really needed to)
 and while in the shower my lovely children woke.

they began bugging me in the shower 
so 
I sent them down to do chores.
This can sometimes lead to a lot more mess.
So
when I eventually came down I didn't really know what to expect
BUT
they did a really good job.

We made breakfast and as I turned to get the milk, the horses caught my eye.

I threw on my dress shoes and flew out the door.
Biscuits was in the coop.

I ran to the barn.
Grabbed the whip
and went running 
(but not gracefully because I was 1) mad and 2) I am not graceful).
I got there to find my goose coop flattened on one side and 
a
big
fat
ugly 
(well cute but ugly right then)
pony 
eating all the gooses (jeff's) grain!!!!

of course 
didn't think to grab a lead rope or halter.
and 
she is a sassy little thing 
so 
there was no WAY a little tap on the behind would get her out.

I trudged out and found some twine.
I trudged back.
and hauled her out and away from the beloved oats!

Needless to say I spent the morning fixing Jeffrey's home.
It's a good thing dusty always has a million survey stakes kicking around here.
You should see it.
It is a thing of beauty.
Chicken wire, survey stakes, and zippy ties.

This of course had to all happen in the pouring rain and gusty winds.
This is why I don't do my hair.
Because 
when I do
I have to go out in the windy rain.

And now
this afternoon it is sunny
and crisp
and 
we are all happy under the rainbow.
