We like to go out to the desert on Saturdays. Rydge likes to just hang in the sand after they are done running around and Rylan hit a few balls with his dad. Its beautiful weather here right now!

Rylan and Rydge making a huge mess....but they played for hours without fighting. So, I dont care if they made a mess and I dont care they almost ruined some screw drivers and used a ton of nails. They had FUN! And they didnt bother me! Their dad was gone all day trying to figure out what was wrong with my car...needed new brakes and rotors turned. So glad he got it fixed for 80 dollars!!! WOW..cheap!!!

Rydge joined in on the mess...they had fun!

Rylan gettin g-ma and papa Randys room ready. We had to take the table out so we could add a bed and wardrobe. Delivery tomorrow. They will be here in 12 days! :)

Our Farm...just finished farm unit. We read the little red hen and made puppets! We also read Five little ducks and the Cows are in the corn. I am so glad I grabbed some books this summer when home. I love to read to the kids and they love to hear them! :)

Math clothespin game. Yes, that is a hat...the kids are so cold right now and its in the 70s during day. But to them...its WINTER after having 130 degree weather! It is cold, I agree. At night its been in the 50s..... so so cold we had to buy heaters, not built in heat here in the homes!
