Children live what they learn.

Good evening,
Dove and I went into the coop after Daddy Man mowed the lawn,
he and I shifted the coop tractor for the third time this week. He mowed the former spot I hosed it then raked up any left over scraps of lettuces and spinach. Dove has Maud and I am holding Jasper. They are falling asleep in our laps. The others had all just climbed the ladder to be. This now they do instinctively at sunset.

The Lab is very interested and is a bit of a nuisance about it, my golden barks and will go off after a bit.

It is so nice when they go off and stop pestering us.
Dash asked his Daddy to move the tedder todder over onto the lawn.
We were all out in the chairs of on the teder todder and we saw ...
THE MOST!
amazing shooting star. It had a differentiating tail very long with several pieces flying off of it.
SO COOL!
Last night at 2 a.m. when I was up sitting under the stars, I had asked God for the opportunity to see one, it had been so long. Tonight My wish came true and we all cheered as it was some seconds across the low sky and maybe only 50 mile out.

The kids were so happy bummping each other high off the seat.

We had a nice play date today and I spent the afternoon relaxed with a friend. She helped me bag the cookies and the rice crispies, as I did the meat patties and the pound packages and all. It was nice to work together. We did some crafty hand work with threads and just had a nice fellowship time as the kids played.
We have had a T.V. restriction as a loss of privaledge for a major infraction the midia is off for two weeks. Violence got into the heart and mind and was acted out (part way) and Daddy halted all violent media and all media for two weeks. YA!
It was nice. They even made up games. The time they played with the chickens was adorable. I gave dove some needed responsibility to over see the kids in the coop. There were three of them. She taught the younger the rules and helped them to know how to handle the birds with care. They all washed up well.
The kids made their own suppers from items I made ready and available. It is important that I start giving them opportunities to be more able and Independent. I sit on my hands and ignore the mess. The pride of accomplishment is the reward. They are getting better about putting things away and being a little more neat about it. They are helping themselves more and more. It is nice to see them being able.I am even having them empty the washer and dryer and putting the basket on the table for me. They are so able and happy to really do things that they can do. It s almost like I withheld the privilege just long enough to make it a desire. Now I let go and see them thrive. It takes a bit of work to teach them the steps , each time they do it I add a step to the process for them to take over.
Well It is story time and Huck and Tom ( The adventures of Huckleberry Finn) are bringing Daddy's audience to a thrill of "cool"...Fun to hear.
Good evening.
I want to go learn about composting and raising worms for the castings for the garden.

Please pray...:)
Dash has a dental time tomorrow 10 a.m.
Daddy Man took off work to watch Dove. Dash will be sadated. Oh I hope he does better this time.
He was sedated last time and faught us tooth and nail, pun intended!
