Camping with the Boys

Luke wanted to have a sleep-over camp out for his 6th birthday so that's what we did.   I set up the tent and filled up the fire pit!  We roasted hot dogs and made Smore's. I had four very excited little boys!  They were all so brave.....even when we heard howling, bumping and screeching during the night! We got up the next day and went fishing!

Doesn't get any better than that! Well, unless you count watching a dog eat a fish!
Boys think things like that are cool!

Camping at the Lake

He's found something,


Wonder what it could possibly be?


He's bringing it to me!


He looks quite proud of whatever he's found!


Awwww, it's a little green caterpillar!



We had a great weekend camping at Land Between the Lakes! Now back to the "real" world!

Fancy Talkin' Zippo

My new boy will be coming home tomorrow! Fancy Talkin' Zippo is his registered name, but to us he's Charlie! We're not too fancy around this farm!

I am so excited! I'll post more photos of him getting to know the girls when he gets here.

Share A Site

I found a site this morning that I might just be hooked on! I rarely make a post just to share a site but here goes!

It's called Instructables.

Right now I am hung up in the Gardening section!

If you have a site you love and want to share, post it in the comments!
