Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Driving Lessons/Hard Work/Bales

L on top of the stack. 
I love these pictures. 
My kids are growing up and maturing in so many ways!! 


We recently went out as a family and picked up a load of straw bales. 
If your a regular reader you already knew that :) 
Here is the rest of the story.. :)

We picked up the bales at the same farm we normally do.. but this time they were still in the field.. SO...
J got some driving lessons while Baby G slept soundly through out. She only woke at the very end.. while I was driving... to smile sweetly at the Straw Man who was getting a ride back to his truck. 
J did really well driving in the field. It was his second time driving ever and he was pretty excited! The peanut gallery (E, R and J3) egged him on from the backseat, backseat drove and pretty much enjoyed every minute of it. L was helping Papa and the Straw Man stacking bales as they threw them on the trailer. I was surprised to see he can move those bales pretty good, all that good food is turning into muscles I see :)  J drove down the field and then hopped on the bales for the final few before getting to ride the bales down the field to the road. Super fun  I was told but apparently they were a tad bit worried they'd have to ride home that way.. boys!! 


I wanted to make this saying into a reminding sign for me in the house.. and didn't realize until I'd saved it that I copied over the original.. that's ok I can share it with you :) 

That's 97 bales.. and we got two full loads.. so that's 194 bales on the floor. 
Waiting to be made into walls. 
That should do us for a while :) 
Thanks for reading.. my baby is home and my bed is calling me :)
