Busy Saturday

Hard at work on his lawnmower pencil holder

Loving to paint

This girl never lets a sweet go untouched!

The view when we left the farm tonight --

We are having a great weekend so far.  Last night the kids and I went to Chik-fil-a for supper while Paul went to Gallatin.  Luke has been counting down to the first Saturday of June so we could go to Home Depot for their Kid's project.  They each made a lawnmower pencil holder for Father's Day.  It went pretty quickly so we had plenty of time to browse the store.  We picked out a new kickplate and hardware for the front door. Everything in our house is brass/gold which is outdated now.  After talking with the paint department we are going to hold off on painting the door.  It really needs be done on a low humidity day which are hard to come by in the Tennessee summer.  It also hit us that Paul gets a discount at Porter Paint so we will probably go by there next weekend and get the paint in case we do luck out and have a nice day to do it.

The kids were invited to a birthday party today at the jumpy place in Hendersonville.  They love those things!    After over an hour of jumping followed by pizza and cake they were exhausted and both fell asleep on the way home.  Katherine and I crawled in our bed and took a long nap while Luke and Paul napped on the couch upstairs.

After naps we headed out to pick up steaks to grill at the farm.  Paula was on the couch when we got there and was in a great, talkative mood.  Paul grilled the steaks while I baked some sweet potatoes and made a quick salad with lettuce from Pop's garden.  We all agreed the steak was great.  Paula even ate some.  Her favorite part was the fresh baked cookies and ice cream we had for dessert!

It has rained/stormed here off and on all day.  When we were leaving we stopped in the driveway to notice how beautiful the clouds and sky were.  The clouds were so low they looked like mountain tops!  The wheat is getting close to being harvested.  Luke hopes he is able to be up there when it happens. He loves seeing all the big equipment.
