Dragons, Knights, and a Soldier

This past weekend was so nice. The weather was pretty close to perfect if you ask me. Sunday afternoon brought a time for relaxing and playing with the children. Beloved became a dragon, Special K and Sweet E were princesses, and Big T and Little E were knights. Beloved swooped in and captured the princesses. So what were the knights to do.....but to rescue the damsels in distress. :-)



And run from the dragon,


And use the catapult to throw things at the dragon.


It was pretty much worthless trying to save the princesses when the oldest one wanted to be captured. :-)


While the battle was going on I had a chance to lounge in my chair I got for Mother's Day and enjoy the beautiful weather. Every once in a while the children and I would use our imaginations and see what the clouds turned into. For a split second we would see a turtle in the clouds and it would quickly change into a dog. We had so much fun and the sky was so blue. It was beautiful.


When Special K was freed she spent a lot of time by me and exploring the yard. She is just the cutest thing ever! I can't get enough of her.


I was so relaxed in my chair...enjoying the day I took pictures of just about anything. I even got this shot with the macro setting on the camera. Not too bad. :-) I don't know why...it's just the seam of my skirt, but I love how bright the blue is....the simplicity of it.


Then came a point when Sweet E wanted to be a knight for a little while and Big T wanted to jump ahead in time and be a soldier in the Revolutionary War.


All in all....I'd say it was a wonderful day that the Lord blessed us with. :-)

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
