Bus time...

We are getting ready to take the bus on a little excursion. A small one to stay a couple nights locally. We are goat milkers now so can't go too far you know. Kev will be home most of the time during milking and spend some time with us and my brother's family. The kids of course are very ready. We only went on one outing last year at the end of September in the bus and haven't even seen it yet this year. We won't do a real big trip this year but I sure hope things are different next year.

I was going to mow the whole yard but a pin came out on the lawnmower and I can't fix it myself. Kev is working late fixing air conditioners, a bit of a surprise around here since it has been so cool. I'll have to wait. Kev told me to take the rest of the day off!!!! Right! I will be going out to keep working on weed control. I was able to spend several hours Friday and Saturday and things look pretty good but those carrots are such a thorn in my side :) We have about three weeks to butcher time. We are all ready to be done with chicken chores. We actually mentioned getting rid of the goats too. Life seems so hectic sometimes. I really need to learn to make cheese with the milk. We have so much each week. The kids keep lovin' the yogurt though. I was making lunch and one kid says let's have yogurt. He had three helpings at breakfast.

The picture is from a camping trip a couple years ago. Well, time to go onto other chores, like ordering school books. I'm not quite ready to order but keep checking prices of this company versus another. Jordan is 11th grade this year and I need all of her books. The "price" of being oldest is there aren't any hand-me-downs. Otherwise most of the books I have are just wishful thinking. I have a few workbooks to get for the rest but again the "price" of having one or two already having done a subject is you have it for the next one. It also helps that I like all of our classes so I don't have to shop around each year for something different. Another positive right now is that Jordan is looking forward to school and wishes I had her books for her so she could start organizing her year! Praise God for that gift!
