School went well …. Really well.

We had a great play date at the park with some awesome friends.. Then picked a few things up at Walmart and of course we had to check out the toy aisle.

They have so much fun just looking at the toys.. And of course the added treat of getting something in the check out line is always exciting.

We ended the day with a yummy dessert… Yep it was a much better day… So thankful for do overs

I lost my patience somewhere along the way and had to apologize so many times… It’s hard being a mommy….

But tomorrow is a new day thank the Lord and I with his help will do better..

Chicken acting silly tonight while we were at the store:)

And then he made me breakfast. What a sweet boy:)

We had a wonderful church service this morning and then went out for lunch:)

When we got home we had cheesecake . Mason wanted to put candles in the cheesecake and song Happy Mother’s Day … It was incredibly sweet.

Then they gave me their cards and my presents. They were so sweet and thoughtful. And thanks to my sweet husband for helping

We napped and then went to my moms later to see her…

I ran into a fairy while I was there:)

My wonderful Mother and Boo. It was a wonderful Mother’s Day:)

But they finally got to visit this weekend! It was soo great to see them!

I am so glad the Chickens got to meet their cousins. We sat around and talked and drank coffee all day at my moms it was such a great time of fellowship and filling up on family love…

My beautiful momma and three of her grandchildren:)

Raising our coffee cups to grandma!

Crazy cousins!

My favorite pic:). I miss them already.

But first we started out the morning with homemade blueberry scones.

Boo ready to go pick strawberries!

We picked four gallons! The Chickens were troopers and they did such a good job only picking ripe ones!

Boo took this family portrait… She did a pretty good job.

When we got home we planted some herbs… Hoping they will do well so I can use them in cooking!

On Sunday Boo found a tiny box and Mason made it into a car for her.. She thought this was the greatest thing and pushed herself all around the house in it. How she fits in a box so small I don’t know.

Mason and Ben spent sometime playing a game together.. I love this pic of them. Mason sure does love his daddy.

And on a side note my pumpkins sprouted! So excited!

We made a run to the Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery. I was out of honey and they sell local, raw unfiltered honey. While we were there I picked up two cucumber plants and four tomato plants.

Boo and Chicken helped me plant them when we got home.

Mason loves to water the plants.

In the afternoon we did school. Boo has been struggling with the math lately so I did some one on one work with her today with a work book that is for preschoolers.

She really enjoyed having that alone time with me so I think we will continue this.

So while Mason and I did math together Leighton kept trying to distract him.

He was really trying hard to be studious but she kept trying to get him to pet her it was quite funny.

I had to get on her to leave him alone. She was quite pitiful and didn’t seem to understand why her boy could not play.

Boo napped while we did math.. Poor girl the morning and afternoon activity was to much for her.

Ben had to work late so the Chickens helped me make whole wheat blue berry and chocolate chip pancakes. They looked so yummy!

I had this because I am currently on a 10 day reboot fast trying to improve my asthma. I have seen some improvement so far so I am excited about that.

When daddy got home we made a run to Furman and had a little treat.

We were celebrating this.. Chicken losing his second tooth. Wish that boy would quit growing.

Boo finished up the night by “feeding” Grandma’s friendship bread starter. Boo is baby sitting it while my mom is out of town… Any chance to cook or stir anything and Boo is all over it.

Boo just being to Darn cute.

Part of my lunch! I have been juicing !

Chicken’s job is to water Grandma’s plants while they are out of own for their 53rd anniversary.

He is taking it very seriously and he did a great job!

After school they played some Math games together. I love when they get along.

It’s been a good day.:)

But I digress .. Chicken is currently in Kindergarten and he is doing a great job! Boo is currently doing the same worksheets etc that Mason is doing. She keeps up pretty well but she has trouble sometimes. She is only four so it’s to be expected.

So when she has trouble Mason will volunteer to help her.

He tells her what the answers are and it’s so sweet!

She loves her brother!

The cuteness kills me sometimes.:)

Boo dressed up in grandpa’s shoes today when we visited grandma.

My yummy supper! I starts juicing and eat raw veggies and fruit today.

Give Boo a shovel and she will dig in the rocks for hours.

She was so proud of her creation.

She called it her flower castle.

Beautiful sunset through the power lines.
