proud moments and good ol' fun

First I must put a disclaimer on this post, you will see blood and guts and stuff!

You know those moments in life that make you smile. The ones where you are so proud you want to tell all you friends about it. I'll give you some examples;

• Like when your youngest son finally tells you he is poopy by showing you the proof on his fingers...proud moment
• Or when you make it out of the grocery store with all of the things from your list and your children stayed buckled in the cool car carts the whole time. (thanks to the threat of their life before you went in)...proud moment
• Or when your children behaved during church and your husband was working so you did it all by yourself...proud moment

Well here is another one of those moments.

That is the Hub doing a above the knee amputation...proud moment

Loren set up the tent in the back yard this weekend just for fun. We ate Sunday dinner in the tent. The boys enjoyed their dinner while Loren and I did not. I tried a new recipe and lets just say that I won't be making that again.

Thanks to our new neighbor friends who supplied the sidewalk chalk, we had a blast Saturday morning while we were all still in our jammies.

We have a mole! In the beginning he only played in our front yard. Leaving me a new mound each morning in the grass. I would just smooth the dirt out, no big deal. Now the little stink has moved to our side yard. Where a couple of weeks ago, I planted some new shrubs and put in bark. Anyways it is really hard to smooth out the dirt and then get the bark to be on top so that it looks nice again. What do I do?
