Well Thursday starts another exciting year of DEER HUNTING!! Deer hunting is something that is huge in our family. My husband and I both hunt as do our kids. Boo hunts strictly with a bow, which is just perfect. His Uncle will be sitting with him next weekend for the youth hunt and My husband will be with Ian, who gun hunts. I really hope that they are successful hunters this year. As for John and I ....it's game on!! Thursday is opener of early season and John has to work....tee hee.. I don't!! So today means washing my clothes in baking soda and scent remover, only to spray them down with a moldy leave spray and getting all the finishing touches ready for yet another very competitive season! I am armed with a brand new 20 gauge this year with a new scope for fire arm season and also a brand new bow for Bow season.......WOOHOO!!
So my dear husband, When I bring home Bullwinkle, don't cry, your still the man!!
Anyone who may read this, if you are a deer hunter, grab your doe pee and your gear, and we will see you in the woods! The early opener is only for Does but it is never to early to spot where Bullwinkle is hanging out!! Be ready for him on the 1st of October with your bow! As for me, I can't wait until next year when Sissy is old enough to give it a go!!!She has passed hunters safety and is just waiting for the Birthday. I am getting out numbered in deer camp! There is a saying,"Go hunting with your kids and you won't have to go hunting FOR your kids!"

September? Already??
Our summer has just seemed to disappear in an instant and I am sitting here wondering how we have made it to September already!! Our summer was definitely a busy one, and now the kids are again in school and things are really slowing down, for a minute anyway! My little one is in Early Primary this year which is our schools fancy term for kindergarten and so that leaves me 2 and 1/2 days a week.......WOW!! Friday was her first day of school and that was just a half of a day and that was very nice. Today is her full day, and boy is it quiet in here. Almost too quiet.
Bean is a big 2nd grader this year and is loving her new teachers. She is really excited to be with all of her friends. Sissy is a 6th grader in a brand new building to her at the middle school and despite the fact she was sure she would get lost, shoved in a locker, Or worse she had a great first day of school and came home smiling!!
Boo was very nervous about school this year, and the night before tried convincing me that he should just stay a 7th grader and I assured him that would not be a great option for him he reluctantly went, and came home with smiles. He really missed his aide and teachers and was happy to see them all. SO FAR SO GOOD!!!! We have a few minor kinks to work out and I am still working on making his schedule a little more user friendly but for now he is content and I am just really thankful that there were no major bumps in the road. Sissy has been a great help to him already as she now rides his bus and helps him with his locker and waits with him before and after school. I am so proud of her, she is a great big sister to him. I sleep better knowing she is there for him and I don't worry as much about the teasing and such when she is there with him. She is one smart and tough kid that knows right from wrong and won't tolerate her brother being harassed at school.. YEAH SISSY!
So now I guess it is time to discover myself and do things that I like to do with no kids here. If anyone knows what that is please let me know. My whole existence has been kids for 14 years and I am not sure what to do when they are not here!!!!
I have been taking care of some kittens for the last 4 weeks. My dad found theses little guys in his pasture, cold with no mom around and decided I needed to save them.
They were so little and still had their umbilical cords, now they are 4 weeks old and MONSTERS! They eat like little pigs from the bottles and are so stubborn they will not eat any other food. So if anyone wants a kitty...tee hee!
