busy week...weird thing on doorstop

-
Well its been a busy week.  We have lots to due yet but we got the yard work done even thought it looks like it needs it again. Our burn pile has grown but was to windy to burn today  I should have told him to do it the other day.  no rain in the forecast for a week :(  we need it) It will get burn soon  don't want snakes uggg

Hubby got a turkey so we got that in the freezer.

Saw 2 baby rabbits under a tree in our front yard as we were cutting some dead limbs and suckers off the trees. Named them  Hase & pfeffer  and told them that is what they will become if they get into my gardens.

Got another apple tree as we don't think little ones is going to make it  and got it planted out .... just hope it lives as little one  got a hold of it in the car and tore some leaves off.

The tonight  oh my I was just going to shut the front door for the night and noticed something odd... it had a tail and odd back  Well what I found was a little alligator snapping turtle About a 50 cent piece size.  It was dry looking as today was rather hot with a wind and it was covered in grass and dirt.   I got Kiddos mini tanks that we have  like 4 different sixes of.  added some water a rock and worm for it for the night.  Really odd that it would be this far out of water.  So its name is Snapper I think  who knows with our house just need to find a place out of the cats areas so they don't bug it tonight.

We also may have another new addition to our family tomorrow.  I will hold out and wait to tell you all.

 Great day to unplug and get the kids outside.... To bad kiddo's old tonka truck no longer works but she loves to push him around on it.

Never forget critters have a mind of their own.   To bad you can't train them to come when they have medical issues.  But enough of that... The owner will have to figure out to do it.  We tried  many ways and said screw it.  Today was a day where we got up early.  At four am  Little One had uncovered himself and got cold and just  wanted to snuggle with Mommy.  This is better then getting up 3-4 times a night and I am not going to complain as he is growing up way to fast.  Then came time for Kiddo to get up where she had a melt down cause the night before she stepped in dog poop and it was on the bottom of her shoe and she demanded that hubby or I clean it for her. So then the water works and fit started but ended quickly.  After the Bus showed up we grabbed some breakfast then headed out to water our gardens and trees.  Then we had lunch and checked the cows. Tried to catch the one that needs doctoring .... yeah attempt 5 still didn't work.  Then hubby and I had date time as I

Wow, this year is flying by...  So to catch you all up since I am 2 years behind on this.  So first off the kids are a freshman and a pre-K'er.  We have adopted a kitten that was dumped around our house. She is quite the little troublemaker/spitfire but so loveable and wants to be loved on.   It's calving season.  Now on top of all that we just bought 10 acres of land with a house that sat in the middle of our farm.  The house needs lots of work from not being shut up properly for 2 years.  I started a page to show the slow transformation of the place.  But that is where we are.  Both kids are loving school.  Kiddo is in Thespian and art clubs and I must say we are so proud of her.  The only freshmen in the math class of  Jr's and Sophomores also she is in Honors English and History.  Straight A's for our girl so far.  Little One loves school, all the ladies get a kick out of him as he does this thing where he raises his eyebrows its a riot.  But he is such a gentleman
