What a beautiful week!

What a great week the dear Lord has blessed us with, even if it is the first week of November and it feels like May! We have enjoyed it tremendously, allowing the kids to run off energy outside instead of in. Here is what we have enjoyed doing over the last week, which is my last week home...I return to work on Monday (yikes!!!).

Chris and I have been having a discussion regarding God's sense of humor. I believe that He created everything with a purpose, but what is the purpose of some things. For example, what is the purpose of beavers? Are they good for anything? We have had tremendous trouble with beavers this year! As you can see the dam they have created in our drain spout that Chris is having to clean out at least once a week. We now have a beaver man to set traps to try to rid of the beavers, but they are obviously persistent to live in our pond. They have tracks all through our land following the pond and creeks. It is crazy!

The kids outside swinging, pushing Jack, and attempting to ride their bikes in the yard. We also played some kickball! Needless to say, I am very out of shape to try to keep up with the kids and running. Then there is Ryan, just a bouncing...I can keep up with him!

Sorry for the pictures being all over the place and you will have to find which picture goes which paragraph, but it gives you an overall idea of what we have been doing during this great weather! By the way, Angie, here is a single picture of Christalynn since I missed her own little spotlight in my post "random things". I felt so bad for that, but here she is to herself! I am trying to keep up and not neglect the "middle child", as you so know how that is don't you!!! HAHA! :)
