rumbling farms!

yesterday, we joined some MOMS club friends for a trip to remlinger farms. we call it “rumbling farms” because that’s what shane used to call it, and now layla has started. it’s pretty funny. and no, it wasn’t loud, and we didn’t hear any rumbling. but we did…014            play in the old fire truck and school bus.017 100         go on pony rides. i thought micah would do it too, but when i stuck him onthe pony, he immediately tried to get off. he just wanted to look at them.018       ride in canoes and scream “DUCK DUCK!” as loudly as possible.024      visit all the farm animals.026          the baby goats were really cute and kept trying to eat shane’s shoes.029   040          the flying pumpkins (think dumbo ride at disneyland, only w/ pumpkins).047 049            the swing carousel.111            the little teeny ferris wheel115            everyone’s favorite, the roller coaster. that’s them in the middle car.        102       and the antique cars, circa 1900, made for the 1962 world’s fair in seattle.058 062 063 066 068 and the hay maze and hay jump. this was micah’s favorite, even though he had quite a time navigating all that soft hay and everyone came home scratched up from it.082           shane is the only one big enough for the pedal go-karts. layla took it very personally that she couldn’t go.086         last, but not least, the train!!!!!  it’s a half-size steam locomotive!030032  084  083            it takes you all around the farm and you get to see the emus, a bull, and alpacas that you can’t see otherwise.088        and of course, the antique tractors.

this is a great place for the kids. they could all have fun. it’s a little expensive, but we try to make it once a year because everyone loves it so much!

layla is convinced we need to build our own roller coaster in our front yard!

    Looks like fun...I have to say that the sweatshirt you were wearing made me go and take a cold shower. I started roasting just looking at that! :) Aaaaaaah! Summer!
    Poor Layla, she will be big enough for the go karts before you know it. :(

project life–week 3

nothing too exciting here: and yes, that is a picture of project life! I find myself taking pictures of things I would have found very weird a few months ago, but when you have the ‘daily life’ thing in mind, and stuff your grandchildren might enjoy seeing, it puts a different perspective on things. the latter half of the week: I LOVE wednesday’s picture… layla walking home from the bus. we do this EVERY day, and this is what it looks like now. I’ll have to remember to take one in the spring, and again next fall. I also have one of the pull-out double size journaling cards, which I used to tell the story of layla’s new bedding, which used to be mine. and that’s week 3.

tag!

so this is mostly aimed at mary, but anyone can feel free to participate because i think it's kinda funny. i got 'tagged' by innocently reading a friend's blog, so now i feel compelled to comply. Find the closest 123-page or longer book to you and turn to page 123. (No cheating!) Find the first five sentences, then post the next three sentences. okay, so the closest book would be the soundtransit 'ready to ride transit guide', but i'll spare you that... what's next... from 'child honoring: how to turn this world around', raffi cavoukian, sharna olfman; editors: to illustrate this, here is one afrikan story. once upon a time there was an old man who wanted to have a monopoly of knowledge. he collected all the valuable knowledge, skills, and wisdom in the village, put them in a calabash (gourd), and tightly corked it. well, that was a bit random, but i think that's the point. have fun!

and today i...

...found two cereal containers (tupperware knock-off type) and their lids which have been floating around the garage for a year now. i brought them in and they are currently in the dishwasher so we can actually use them for our endless supply of life and cheerios. 2 more things out of the garage... (or 4 if you want to count the lids!) woo hoo!

vacation–day 6 (saturday, august 14)

saturday afternoon, we were invaded by LOTS of dapelos! uncle bear, mimi and lots of ‘kids’ showed up for a yummy bbq, some swimming, and street baseball. but first some of the kids had to pose in their ‘matchie’ shirts that gramma and papa brought back from australia. being ‘matchie’ was a VERY big deal. uncle david got to practice his very favorite hobby: sleeping with babies. we ate wonderful food outside in the ‘new’ backyard. everyone ate big marshmallows for dessert! (after the big kids made fools of themselves trying to throw them into each other’s mouths across the yard. and then there was more swimming… and then, the long-awaited street baseball! after some confusion about appropriately-sized plastic bats, the big kids and little kids hit whiffle balls all over the neighborhood! a lot of the balls didn’t survive, but all of ted’s sprinklers did!

2017–week 6

sunday: so it begins… that fun evening game where you’re keeping one eye out the window at the falling snow, and the other eye on your phone, bouncing back and forth between the forecast and the news source for school closures that may have been already announced. i may or may not have yelped in glee and thrown my phone in the air when i refreshed it for the millionth time and saw BELLEVUE listed as closed! no work for me! monday: most of these will go into a separate “snow day” insert in the book. school was cancelled for pretty much the entire western half of the state, so much fun was had, playing in the snow. i took a picture of shane taking a picture of his measurements of snow on the fence. lol. a “new and improved” way to do dog sledding… i think they’re both confused. layla seemed to think this was the best way to get micah across the ditch full of frigid water… somehow, he made it, and then they decided it would be a good idea to jump it. i’m pleased to report that no one...
