Country Livin...

is the life for me! On Wednesday we had visitors come to the house-- (and visitors are few and far between when you live so far out in the country!) three friends from high school and all of their children (4 of us and 9 kids...I never said that this adventure would resemble peace and QUIET!!) I fixed everybody some lunch and then we were off to play! I had 3 little blow up pools and a sprinkler, along with the barbie jeep, the scooter(CJ's favorite), the bicycle, the t-ball set (Ethan's absolute favorite) ...it was an all day affair of being outside...and we had the best time! All of us adults got to sit underneath our big walnut tree, with a nice breeze blowing, talking, relaxing (as much as you could with all the racket!) enjoying each others company while the kids played amongst themselves and left us alone...for a few minutes at a time! We also had the roar of very large tractors and combines in our back field (plantin soybeans of course!!) It was a great day to live in the country! I am so glad that I have such wonderful friends that I can share my corner of the world with...Thanks girls for coming out and Brenly is already talking about when her friends can come play again! It must be soon! She gets lonely out here sometimes :)

I LOVED it! It was a very relaxing and fun day and I am up for it anytime! Anytime that Chad will let me not work, that is! :)

So hate that I missed it!!! You invite everyone out again because Gabrielle LOVES being outside and would really love your outdoors compared to ours!
