this and that. with pie.

FYI I KNOW SOME OF THESE ARE SIDEWAYS. I am in a hurry and don't really care.
mmm. strawberries in gel-stuff. awesome red color!
Tate petting a pygmy goat (NOT a baby goat or kid, as they led the other kids to believe).
Tate fishing at Mayor's pond.
Hayden also fishing at the same pond
Emily, same, same
the stupid puzzle.

So there was some of the last week or two in a nutshell. Tate went on a field trip. Saw animals and such. We had strawberry pie. Took the kids fishing at Mayor's pond, where there have been several hundreds of fish stocked. They caught nothing. Too fun. Then Tate got out this 500 piece puzzle that ANGIE gave us. (grrrr) and insisted on doing it. My obsessive compulsive tendencies make puzzle-doing an unpleasant experience. I can't stop. My back hurts, I'm bored, I'm hungry, the kids are hungry, but I can't stop. Thanks be to Mike and Hayden. With their help it was done in under 24 hours. But my house looks like crap. NO MORE PUZZLES, please, Tate, whose sole contribution was opening the bag and dumping out the pieces. Now that I've told you all about this, I really have to let it go. Really. This week promises to be just as special as last week. You know what I mean when I say special, don't you???

It's once you hit 500 pieces it just takes a while, especially when they are small, it's a somewhat impressionistic painting, and there is a section of sky that is all similar. Still, we all accomplished something together, as un-important an accomplishment as it may be.

You should have called me! I love puzzles. And I know what you mean, just one more piece...just 1/2 hour more...

The bunch of us said...

Mmm.. Stawberry pie! I am very jealous! Maybe I should make one and crack out a puzzle being as I haven't left the house but once in 3 weeks! Looks like the kids are enjoying fishing though! We will have to come up and go with you guys! We have fished Mayors pond a bunch and never caught anything yet, but we still enjoy it:)

Oh Mom, the days are fine, it's the stuff that happens during them..... just jokin' ya. We're good:)

Mike A said...

Yes, our days are really rough: having to eat fresh strawberry pie, pet "baby" goats, go fishing, hang out as a family putting together puzzles - all should lament our difficult lives.
