Barn Babe
I am feeling a bit better today, thanks. DH, the kids, and I spent Sunday working in the yard, pruning and doing barns chores. For whatever reason, maybe the fresh air and just listening to my kids' happy yells, it was pretty therapeutic.
My older boy has ISTEPs today and was so nervous he wasn't going to do well. I gave him my best mom pep talk, reassured him that he is smart, capable, and was going to do great. He gave me big squeezes before they trotted out the door to go walk to their school.
Yesterday was exhausting but fun. I took a little over a hundred kids to Chicago to go see a professional production of Romeo and Juliet. The loved it! When we got back, they were just going on and on about all of the things they liked, and they were even using the terms and language that we studied (did my heart good to know that something stuck even with me being absent so much).
And DinDin is getting packaged up for the freezer. My son asked the butcher if he could have the skull back
. I was going to object (like the butcher needs more work to do) but he said sure, I'll clean it off for you and toss it in a bag 
Guess I will probably biol that a bit later in the week. Son then asked me on the way home if he could keep the golf balls on his horns, like some kind of memorial to our annoying wether. Vetoed that one.
We are looking at leaving school early today because of the impending snow storm (all of the other schools in our country and many in the neighboring counties canceled already). I made sure to pack blankets and fill up on gas for the hike home since we are not so lucky as to not have had to come in at all. I think they probably want to make sure the state testing gets done first but boy I am not looking forward to the roads on the way back. The plows don't hit the country roads where we have to drive until last.
