We've Got Talent ;)


Miss Shay likes to get in on the singing action with her sister.  I think the vibrato is what really makes the song!
 
 
And better late than never....Mr. Kale making a nice run during football season.

Speaking of Bailey........


For some miraculous reason my phone, computer, and Blogger all decided to cooperate and let me transfer video!  Here's one of Bailey's many original tunes :)

Watch Out For That Girl

 I love this girl and her imagination.  She has the ability to take a simple topic and develop it into a story that is totally crazy....and yet completely makes sense. 
 
Last week she asked for a tortilla as part of her snack, but before eating she picked up two Sprite cans that were sitting on the counter and told me a three minute narrative about sodas in love, an evil tortilla, and a plot that had me cracking up before concluding with a romantic tune.
 
A couple of days ago I ran across this quote on Pinterest and I immediately thought of her....
 
 
I'm not sure yet what she'll grow to be,
but there's not a doubt in my mind that our Bailey girl can bring change to the world....
One joyful story at a time.

Snow

Nothing beats a little snow day fun on the farm!  I went into the "event" knowing that I would spend 20 minutes gathering gear, 20 minutes dressing children, and 20 minutes driving to the farm.....
For (at best) 20 minutes of playing in the snow :)


We were really close to meeting my 20 minute goal when Shay got snow in her mitten....
And in a matter of seconds she was crying, "I want Grammy Hammy's house!"


Of course, if one sister gets to go play (and eat snacks) in a warm house, the other sister wants to go, too. 
So I spent 20 (okay maybe not quite that many) minutes undressing the girls from their snow gear.

 
But really, it worked out well for me because that meant I got a turn behind the tractor....
and not only was it fun,
I managed to avoid any embarrassing falls or injuries :)
 
 
 
And that my friends is a successful snow day!
