mi country casa….mi only casa. :-) I’m ready to see some green on these trees!

good morning!

This takes true talent, I tell ya….TRUE TALENT!  LOL

My little Punky Brewster doing her chores. :-)

This girl was so worn out she was snoring.

70° @ 7AM…..i LOVE winter in texas!

P90X…..decline push ups. Tate is one of the most disciplined people I have ever known. He wants to get strong for football! :-)

Tate works out 4 days a week after school at school and then again in the evening in the living room floor. This boy has a work ethic like I’ve never seen. He gives everything he does 110%….at least! I’m a proud mama! :-)

Throwback Thursday. Where did my baby go?

in only 4 days. LOL!

We’re stocked up for a few days. Won’t last long in this house! :-)

project chicken coop begins today! i’m so EXCITED….WE’RE GOING TO HAVE CHICKENS!!! i LOVE country livin’!

Bedtime reading…..LOL.

Viv brought this home from school…she has had so much fun taking it apart and recreating.

My little helper. When he saw me take his picture he asked me to put it on Facebook so Mrs. Whitaker (his teacher) can see it….LOL.

Annie Bird Chhangur…that’s MY girl!

BIGGER OR BETTER! Each D-Now group was dropped off at a different neighborhood with only a paper clip, they went from house to house asking for something BIGGER or BETTER and this is what MY guys marched up with while chanting NAVY…NAVY…NAVY!…Not sure yet what all the other groups came back with but I think they have a pretty good chance of winning… :-)…..and Beth that would be your son on top of the trampoline holding the flag! I know this is a proud mom moment for you….hehehe. Beth, he is a delight, such a sweet boy! I told y’all I had the BEST group. ;-)

my d-now group….they’re AWESOME!

D-NOW!! We are the host home for 15 INCREDIBLE boys at D-Now…there is no doubt, we have THE BEST GROUP…..and THE BEST LEADER….that would be the one and only Zach Elkins!! The NAVY team ROCKS….GO NAVY…GO NAVY…GO NAVY!!! It’s going to be a GREAT weekend!

Thank you @jcptrp for a fireplace full of vintage books. Loves ya! :-)

We finally got curtains. :-)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY…..Hayden’s 1st day of Kindergarten. He was ROCKIN’ the chili bowl. I think he needs to let me cut his hair like that now…LOL!

making goofy faces in the mirror while waiting to pick up brothers from weight lifting.

dinner’s on! apple and curry lentils!

Elliott’s new do and one of his crazy camera faces.

I made a rabbit stew and Elliott took the rest of the meat off the rabbit that I couldn’t get with kitchen shears and he made a Chinese dish. I think everyone was okay with the rabbit….on a scale from 1 to 10, everyone gave it a 5. :-/

It’s hair cutting time for this goofball…LOL. Not that either one of us want it cut but it’s school rules so we cut. After I started cutting Ells said, “you know mom, cutting hair is an art”….thanks for the added pressure son…LOL. It’s so much easier to cut Tate’s because he’s not picky, he’s okay with what ever. BUT Mr. Elliott is a different story when it comes to his hair. He wants what he wants and he wants it cool (what he considers cool is not always what anyone else considers cool….that’s one of my favorite things about him). He decided he wanted an urban mullet….so an urban mullet he got (it’s shorter in the back than he wanted but we had to meet the school dress code…it still looks like a mullet). I know he’s mine but I think he rocks the mullet pretty good!!! :-) I’ll take a picture after he’s showered and dressed.

This girl could eat her weight in carrots & hummus.

 #2! I won’t be posting every time Tate comes home with something from a hunt but I had to post this because I got so tickled that Viv walked up with Tate and she was holding it….she was so proud that he let her carry it….LOL. Last night I didn’t have all the ingredients for rabbit stew so it’s on the menu for tomorrow night. I’ll let you know how it turns out. :-)   

Good morning, Sunday morning!

OH MY GOODNESS! I wish you could have seen the grin on this boys face when he walked into the HOUSE holding the prize from his first successful hunt…..he was grinning from ear to ear! He was so proud… he said mom, I saved us money on dinner! Our rules are, you don’t kill just to kill, if you kill it, you eat it. Paul showed him how to skin and clean it so it looks like we’re having rabbit stew for dinner.

Gone out hunting! Tate said he was going to bring back dinner. I told him if he kills it, skins it then I’ll cook it. I’m about to look up squirrel and rabbit stew recipes….wondering what I might have gotten myself into. :-/ LOL!
