Up on this Friday morning to see all the grandkids here. Hubbie took g-son to school and the girls and I watched TV until he got back. The middle school g-son attends is only 1 mile out the road but because of the heavy traffic in and out of the school it takes hubbie almost 30 minutes to get him there and get back home each morning. I got chores done then had breakfast with the girls. After we ate we got ready to go deliver cakes and then we decided to go to the walling trail and have a picnic lunch. We stopped by McDonalds on the way to the trail and got the girls lunch. We loaded them all up in the strollers. Daughter had given us a nice double jogging stroller so we had seats for all three today. The wind was blowing hard and the big girls wanted to bundle up.
CA agreed to ride in this stroller long enough to eat her lunch as we walked but wasn't happy about it.
The girls ate very good lunches as we walked and soon CA was on foot and unbeknownst to her sister and cousin she pushed them .
The hopscotch game along the way got all the girls out of the strollers.
We walked 2 miles and the girls were ready to come home and rest when we left there. We came home expecting CA especially to get a nap on the way home but no one went to sleep. We came home and hubbie and I had a late lunch. I went and picked some fresh lettuce , radishes and asparagus to make a salad for lunch. The wind was still blowing so hard we decided to stay inside and play for the afternoon. D-in-love picked up RL and after RL left IR crashed for a nap. Daughter came in from meeting a girl with a sandbox I have been wanting and her and hubbie took CA with them to Home Depot for mulch and play sand. IR slept the whole time they were gone. When they got back she took IR now a sleeping CA home . Hubbie hauled the mulch over to her house so son-in-love could help unload it. When they left I got chores done and then watered all my raised beds.
This month has flown by and has been a typical weather month for April here in the mountains.
The month began and ended with very windy days. We had a very nice Easter with the family to begin the month. I hatched out chicks in the incubator and got a total of 27 chicks. We got out early garden plantedwith potatoes, onions , peas and went to a plant house for some pearly plants and some flowers plus 3 Raspberry plants. We had a freeze for a couple nights that took away some of our fruits . The bigger girls spent the night with us this month for a break through on their part. We also finally found some tree cutters who took down a couple dangerous leaning oak trees. All in all it has been a pretty calm month for all the family and we are thankful for all the blessings we were given though the month and look forward to what God has in store for us in the coming month.
Thankful for all the mercies granted to me as I strive to follow God's path.
