Sane Saturday {Catching Up!)

Still here!

Super busy! 

I started this post as a "Fun Friday" post, but you can see where that ended up...so here I am on Saturday.  In an effort to "keep my sanity," as I work at our business today while the laundry breeds exponentially at home, I have decided to finish this post today!

We celebrated Rachael's First Communion last weekend.

Following Mass, the local family gathered at our home for a dinner.  We even brought the good china out!  Here is Rachael with her cake -- do you recognize the cake? 

In the past few weeks, we have also gotten to help Uncle Chris and Aunt Judith work baby lambs.  My years of helping Dad sort cattle came in handy when it came time to separate the mamas from the babies, though these babies are very nimble and can jump right through your arms.  The kids really enjoyed holding the baby lambs, and we were covered from head to toe in dirt when we were done.

Jack was Uncle Chris's assistant.  I am sure you can guess what procedure is happening here.  Just think "lamb nuts."

Sam even got in on the action.  He was constantly trying to catch a lamb.  Poor baby lamb (and see Mama to the right...she was very concerned!).

In the past couple of weeks, we've also

1. Gotten braces and head gear (Jack)
2.  Gotten glasses (Rachael)
3.  Had a warehouse sale (Dennis and Co.)
4.  Completed teaching the third in a series of donated cake decorating lessons (Moi)
5.  Been babysitting the washer because the knob is broken...I have to turn it when it stops up to 5 times per load to keep the cycle going.  We will soon remedy the situation, and I can't wait to tell you about it!  (Moi, again)
5.  Done absolutely no meal planning -- sorry about that....has affected my sanity, for sure!  (Yours truly, again!)

I'll be back soon with more regular posting.  In the meantime, Happy Mother's Day!
