The Mom in McDonald's

There was this mom in McDonald's, she obviously had her hands full. She was trying to carry 4 bags of McDonald's food and had 2 drink holders and little kids with her. She was trying to fill the cups of pop with her two small kids watching. The littlest one, only a toddler reaches up and grabs a pop dumping it down the front of his head, face and coat, and there is a big puddle on the floor. The child screams at the top of his lungs and now everyone is looking at her. She ended up making several trips to her car with her toddler on her hip during each trip. I noticed nobody made any attempt to help her, not even open the door for her. I felt sorry for this poor mom and would have liked to help her, oh yeah, that poor mom was me!!! What was I thinking? After buying groceries, I thought McDonald's would be a handy meal to the field. I let the kids play in the play area and went to order my food. Hello, drive thru would have made sense at the time, wasn’t really thinking I guess.

As harvest is in full swing, that means meals on wheels from me. Daily meals out to the field, and sometimes both lunch and supper. Most of the time Karen will do one meal and I the other. We are so short of help, Karen has to run the combine. I struggle with what to fix and getting it to the field with kids in tow.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
