It was the easiest first day of school for everyone.
It made me smile the whole drive home.
I also now have time to write more and share it with you. I am sorting some of my old stories from the journal I have kept since we began our family and I came across a funny from Mitchell when he and his twin brother Avery were in kindergarten.
My husband Jim came home from work and…
Jim, said very enthusiastically, “How was kindergarten boys?”
Mitchell, said with a very grown up matter-of-fact manner …“Dadda, I think there is more yelling than learning going on in Kindergarten.“
First day of school – Kindergarten
Avery and Mitchell’s First Day of School – 7th Grade
I took this photo yesterday at my father in-laws house.
Ok, so I get the wordless Wednesday thing but I have been without any consistent technology and I’m breaking! So until I finish writing, (ON MY PHONE) a post for tomorrow I will leave you with a photo I took yesterday, and a few words.
We are wrapping up a trip to our rural hometown, out of state, and I cannot stop daydreaming about making out with my washer and dryer the moment I walk in the door to our home.
If my washer and dryer had legs and arms we would be running through a field of wildflowers towards one another, arms outstretched. When we get within a few feet of each other my washer would throw its door open and I would toss all of our dirty clothes in and possibly our three boys and definitely our dog.
Sometimes you just have to let “bad” happen. Not only did I watch it. I encouraged it. I took pictures and I videotaped it.
(I VIDEOTAPED AND EDITED MY FIRST MOVIE. IT IS BELOW AND ITS ROUGH)
Our mutt Lilly has never done anything that has ever resembled being an animal.
She doesn’t scratch herself, she uses a pillow under her head to sleep and she doesn’t even lick her butt.
She is telling me with her eyes to “go get her boys from school.”
She has NEVER dug a hole or even wanted to play with another dog.
Then the chipmunk ran under our lamp-post yesterday. I knew she would never get it and if she did she would just want to cuddle with it. Here she is stealing a cuddle from an unsuspecting soul. Oh, it’s me but the one of Jim spooning her is better but I am afraid he will shoot my laptop.
She is a chicken dog. Look here at her a couple of weeks ago hiding from a baby goose from behind a chair.
It must have run up into the post. I even recorded it. The boys were at school and I knew they would be shocked at our dog…well…acting like a dog?
I slapped this thing up here a few different ways since I am new to this. They are all the same video. I couldn’t get the first one to play so I added the Youtube version.
I cannot wait to play the funny video for the boys.
I even replanted the pansies and fixed it all up pretty again.
I had sleeping kids in the room and so I couldn’t have the sound on and so…We will see when it posts how it looks. I don’t think I will ever be a movie maker. Ha ha!
Jim Thinks it is hilarious how she sneaks up and sleeps on me.
For two years she lived only in our kitchen and for four years she never went in a bed.
One day the kids were watching a movie laughing and she jumped up and we all FROZE!
Lilly would like people to stop telling me how cute she looks in bows.
She would also like me to stop matching her bows to her pink (rat-like) skin tone.
She also would like someone to drop a baby daughter off for me to 
She is happy I didn’t give her this old haircut. No one loved her for two whole months.
But I did do this.
