Natural Distractions

Work on the kitchen is   s l o w l y   progressing.  Between work, fixing mistakes and being too pooped at the end of the day to accomplish anything, I have legitimate excuses for my beautiful new kitchen remaining nothing more than a vision inside my head for over a month.  The voices inside my head are driving me crazy though... "Get 'er done!"  So, Natural Distractions are very welcomed around here:

All five of my Grandsons were running around here last weekend and we had a blast!  Nolan (4) loves the animals and giggles and giggles when the goats eat corn out of his hand.

Ethan and Chandler (6) and (4) enjoyed an interesting game of invisible bowling.  Chandler calls it "bawling".  Oh to be a kid again.  Who needs bowling pins?  You can throw a strike every time without them!

and great gobs of goofiness before bed:

 

Shortly before 9 p.m. it was all quiet on the Western Front

 

Sunday morning they got their favorite breakfast at Grandma's house:  Farm fresh eggs and bacon.

I must admit fixing up that little picnic table and bringing it in the house was one of the best ideas I've ever had.  The boys love it and it is so handy for them.

Before we knew it, it was time to pack the boys up and head to Red Oak for Marlee's Birthday Party!

 

Marlee wasn't too sure about all of the commotion.

Cole opted to steer clear of the little ones and play with Sugar instead.

Sidewalk chalk + bottles of bubbles = FUN

Nolan had fun at my house, but I think he was happy to get home.  It was a great weekend for all of us and this Grandma truly enjoyed the little "natural distractions".  Heck, I almost want to grab them every weekend.  It's so much more fun than working on the kitchen... but the voices are haunting me.  Get 'er done... Ger 'er done... Get 'er done!
