More of the Kids....

Daddy has been running around the house today trying to gather his hunting things all in one place. He has a deer hunt coming up next week. As the stuff started piling up in the living room, the kids got more and more interested. Soon Clayton found the grease paint. Daddy couldn't resist......She looks like she has muddy cheeks.....I guess that is the point, right?

Clayton started using my measuring cup as a bow/gun. Who knew measuring cups could be so dangerous.

Both kids were quite pleased with the results....they thought it was the most fun to jump around a corner and scare me.

Clayton's Corgi pup is growing and growing. She has been needing a new kennel for quite some time. I took her with me to Petsmart the other day and we picked out a new kennel and bedding as well as a new collar. When I got home with the things the kids thought I had brought them and new playhouse. (Clayton is on this kick that he is a pup and Lindsy is a kitty cat) I purchased the kennel extra large so that Missy would be able to use it for the rest of her life. I guess I didn't realize how big it was until both kids climbed in it!

About once a day now my newly repeated sentence is; "Kids, get out of the dog kennel! That's Missy's bed!"

The other night we had some snow blow in. The sun started to set just as the clouds were breaking up. I took these outside on the front porch.

Thanksgivings!

I am sorry for the lack of order in these pictures.......no matter how I tried to post them, blogger mixed them up.

We had a great 2 Thanksgivings. Yes, that is right I said 2 Thanksgivings. Twice the Turkey and all the fixings! (I hope to not see anymore Turkey for at least 3 or 4 months!) Our first meal was a week early with all my family. (Good thing we had 2 Turkeys to butcher!) The second meal was at our house and Morris and Jeanie and Warner and Crystal came down to see us. We also had some friends from here come and my cousin, his girlfriend and her family. It was a wonderful houseful! I was busy cooking and didn't take any pictures. :( Here is a picture of one of the birds. Both of them weighed in at 30lbs dressed. Wilfred built a smoker and smoked both birds. Lindsy is riding a 'wiggle car'. Her and Alexander and Clayton has so much fun playing together at the 1st Thanksgiving.

Daddy was remounting his scope. The kids were very interested in what he was doing. They look like future hunters to me!

The other day Clayton asked for meat on sticks. I asked him if he meant Kabobs and he yelled "yeah! Ka-bob-bas! I made elk kabobs and they were a hit!

Clayton enjoying his 'just meat' ka-bob-bas.

Another Ka-bob-bas fan!

Hope you have enjoyed this. I had 2 really cute videos to post. Blogger wasn't allowing them to load so I will try to post them later.
