This morning turned out to be a wonderful day for yard work. We bundled all the kids up and got to it. Everyone pitched in raking, sweeping, bagging up and of course jumping into big piles of leaves. I was very proud of my oldest kids with how hard they worked without complaining a bit. Gabe and Genesis even mentioned how much fun they were having. Gideon ( 20 mths old) worked so very hard raking and picking up. Very busy into everyone's work. He earned an early snack break due to the fact he worked so hard he couldn't walk anymore. He sat in the stroller while we finished up. Thankfully Garin passed out in his car seat and snuggled in for a long nap. That allowed me to get in on the fun. It felt so good to get out in the sun and work. After a couple hours it was time to finish up and get the Little's to nap. Everyone grabbed bags and brought them to daddy's truck. Each child racing to make sure they got the chance to bring the most bags. I helped Gideon drag a few so he could join in on the fun. It brought great Joy to Justin and mines hearts to have everyone pull together to get the job done. Someday we will be doing this on our very own homestead, I cannot wait. While they are napping I am blogging and cooking lunch. Homemade Gluten Free Chicken tenders, Potato wedges and from scratch Ketchup made by my wonderful hubby. It smells so good I cannot wait to try it! Praying everyone's November is Blessed and Everyone can Take time to enjoy the wonderful moments we share with our families! Happy November 1st.
God Bless,
JOY
Sounds absolutely wonderful, Joy! A homestead sounds like the perfect place to raise a family. My dreams exactly!
