Time Flies Whether You're Having Fun or Not

The kids have been working on various aspects of their upcoming Forestry competition. Mean Ol' Mama baked two trays of delicious whole wheat cinnamon buns.

We enjoyed dinner with our friends, and Dr. Peter showcased his Italian heritage with a delicous cheese/fresh basil and tomatoes dish.We also enjoyed a very fun round of Balderdash with everyone. Having extra adults playing was the finishing touch for an enjoyable evening.


Poppins and his pal...

Mean Ol' Mama scored by purchasing William Bennett's book for just $.07 at a thrift store. We have his first book, so this is an exciting addition to our library.

What's in the box that just came in the mail, fellows?

Airsoft guns of assorted sizes and capabilities!!

Stennes has been volunteering at the Attapulgus Experiment Station where crops are researched, and he brought home a sample of good vs. bad corn.

Branch helped Pop butcher chickens, and he thoroughly enjoyed plucking the feathers. Yep.

We had 2 hogs butchered, so sorting the meat was a job that we all enjoyed. Yummy!

ChubChub had a bout of sickness this past week, and The Girl and Branch watched an educational DVD with him. Mo'M's college books are also on the sofa as she worked on this semester's syllabus.

Josiah invited 3 other boys over to spend the weekend and have an airsoft war. From Sunday morning to Saturday night, we fed 159 people in our little home. Lots of visitors!

The Girl got her first "stylish" cut by our good friend Don J. He's hilarious and talented at the same time!

Stennes had his Tifton Soil Profile on display at the local visitor's center.

Branch cleaned fans in preparation for our upcoming vacation. It's always nice coming home to a clean house.

Josiah made 13 keychains out of deer antlers. We're taking them for gifts on vacation.



Life has been crazy-busy as usual; we're hoping to head out soon to Minnesota; classes begin tonight for Mean Ol' Mama; lots of projects going on; busy, busy, busy...
