The only problem is that Clarence isn't sleeping yet (it's about 2:30)....He fell asleep for five minutes in the tractor, so now he's probably just too wide awake. I hate when that happens! It means he'll be tired and ready for bed by about 7:30 - I know, not so horrible, but it just seems to screw up the day somehow.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this spring and staying home with Matt and the kids. Our babysitter just had her baby and I don't really have someone to bring my kids to (or at least I've been using it as my excuse so that I can be home and help out here).....That's ok...I got plenty of subbing in over the winter - now I can help feed cows, be outside and get some exercise, and work on cleaning out my back entry so that it's ready when Mark is done with college. (It needs to be ready because we're tearing it off and adding on an addition out back.) I can hardly wait. I just picture how I want everything to look, then change my mind and picture it another way....I can't wait to decorate it! (I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, though, because then I'll just get impatient with the slow "building" process. I guess that'll just motivate me to help whenever and wherever I can.)
I've been thinking about my garden.
I'd like to start planting it, but the days have been kinda chilly. I wonder if it'd be a good idea or not. I think it would be safe to plant my potatoes....and maybe onions? And the kids and I planted cucumber and pumpkin seeds last week (which, miraculously, are still in the dirt, in the pots we put them in - don't ask me how we've managed it this far!). I can't wait for fresh veggies from my garden and to can and freeze everything so I'll be all stocked up again!
I've been thinking about my addition (which I already told you about...I won't bore you again....but it's always on my mind!).
I've been thinking about the summer.
We've got some planned things happening, but I feel like most of the summer will be relaxed and enjoyed here at home (I hope!).
- So I wonder about what the kids and I are going to do to keep busy....what are some fun activities I can do with them?
- We've got a little pool - they'll play in that almost every day, I'm sure.
- and the sandbox
- and the animals
- and the stroller to go for walks
- work in the garden
- the bikes to go for bike rides
- plus the usual check cows and check on daddy routine
- go visiting
- ride horse
- etc.
- however, I feel like all that will bore me after the first few week.....any other suggestions?
Anyway, this is a really random post - sorry!

Today, Clarence and I were in the barn talking, and Adina had left. I said, "Where did Adina go?" Clarence said, "I don't know". We looked outside the barn and she was looking through the gate at the cows mooing at them. She didn't notice us at first. It was adorable watching her.
Then we went out back for a 4-wheeler ride and to watch Matt show us his expert roping skills. There's a calf out back that's not being claimed, so I think we'll be having another bottle baby to feed. It was out with the big herd, so Matt wanted me to drive him out there and help shoo it towards him so he could rope it. He got it, after four or five attempts.

Also, for those of you who read my facebook post about Matt and that he likes drinking buttermilk and that it makes him more athletic, he added oysters and blue cheese dressing to his statement. Just take his advice, everyone, and you'll definitely be more athletic. :)
(I'm not making fun - he's just really random sometimes)
Well, anyway, have a super day and sorry for the jumping around!
