"Farm" update

My super busy week is over!!! We had fun at VBS (no pics), the 4 groups we had at the Liebenzell Center over the last 8 days are gone again, Jeff is fishing, the girls are watching a show before bedtime and I have time to sit and catch you up a bit.
This morning after the girls were all dressed for church we had about 20 min to play before it was time to go. Maya insisted on wearing her life jacket for the entire time. She was very clear that she was NOT interested in taking it off anytime I suggested it. By the time we left for church, she was ok with it, but only because I could promise her that we get to sing the VBS songs at church.

GARDEN

Our garden is doing great, but last weekend when we had a crazy, heavy rain thunderstorm our corn and sunflowers ended up on the ground. We staked the sunflowers up and hoped for the best with the corn.

The zucchini are flowering, hopefully we have better luck this year. Last year once the fruit formed it would just rot before it was anywhere big enough to pick.

Our garden, the corn and sunflowers are standing again, the potatoes are doing great,the second try at beans brought actual plants (no idea what happened with the first sowing) and the tomatoes are starting to produce fruit. Hopefully things will keep going like that. We could use a good day of nice rain though.

RABBIT UPDATE

Blackie is a great mommy and we only lost that one kit the very first day and the other 7 are now cute, with fur and open eyes. They are 2 weeks old and both girls are thrilled that they are finally able to hold them.

Yup, there are 7 bunnies in there (3 white, 4 black)

Katie is getting pretty good at holding the rabbits gently.

She has all the makings for a little farmer. We are happy that the girls will have the opportunity to learn about nature and life as they participate in this rabbit project.

Maya does better just petting the little rabbits. She does pretty good as long as Katie doesn't come and try to take the bunnie away from her. That is one "toy" I won't let them fight over!!

Next week looks better, but the social calendar is filling up quickly. We're looking forward to a BBQ with some new friends and especially to the visit with my brother and family from Moncton. The weekend is our weekend off for the month and we're looking forward to a wedding (without kids - they're at Grandma and Grandpas) and then the rest of the weekend is nothing planned other than hanging out in Plattsville on Saturday and at home on Sunday - that's the plan so far anyway.

Hope you have a great week too!
