Random

Nothing overly funny, witty, or charming seems to be coming to mind...only randomness today.

*Our normal Labor Day weekend is typically spent drilling wheat, a weekend full of labor. Normal right? The second hardest farm labor on labor day weekend, makes perfect sense to me! This year started the same but BAM, it rained!! Over an inch on all of our fields, so Monday we took a day trip to the lake! Layton and Julia both went on their first tube rides, Layton got to help drive, Daddy tubed (he did a scorpion in the water :) ) and Mommy, I enjoyed the beach. It's so relaxing to walk along look for shells, rocks and watch the boats...

*We should have stayed at the lake! Tuesday brought two parts runs to Cheyenne Wells, the need for a new tractor starter (UPS from Garden City) and a blown semi tire (requiring a trip to Lamar for 2 new tires)....we are blessed to cultivate the land and feed the masses is my mantra on those days!!!

*Our delivering Dr in Scott City agreed to take us again! HOORAY!! Yes, we have a prenatal Dr and a different delivery Dr due to the shortage of Drs in Tribune. Another prayer answered!!

*Layton has done wonderful with Pre-K! His only trouble seems to be learning names. A very difficult task with 14 classmates plus a different set of kids on the bus. There is a little boy who sits with him on the bus every day, three weeks into school (after asking each day if he learned his name)...Layton proudly tells me he learned his name is "Franklin". My mind is a little skeptical as there is a cartoon turtle named Franklin, but I give him the benefit of the doubt, for a day...then he tells me "no, no, Franklin isn't right, it's Quintin"...they are close....I still have yet to 100% confirm which little girl walked him to class for the first two weeks....bless their hearts for being such good, caring friends to Layton!

*Today was Julia and my first solo library trip! She did well but only played 3 of the 8 various stations. She was content to fish, create with play dough, and play kitchen...it was much calmer with 1 versus 2 kids. Potty training might be on the horizon yet, we tried last week but life goes on! We will master it, we will master it, we will master it (hopefully before February!)


*My deep thought...normally I stay away from political topics (those who know my husband know why....he is very intelligent and likes to debate) why should we support Syria attacking Syria when we have our own battle at home with Obama Care.
