Skunk 2: Mookie 1

Well it's a different skunk, being as Mat shot the first one. But yes, Mookie got sprayed again.

At least this time it's warm enough to wash him outside!  Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, dish soap. Smells almost good as new :)

Sometimes when we go outside Daughter has trouble letting go of a toy. Today it was a plastic tiger :)

It's so wonderful to be her mama :)

Disappearing pinwheels

I'm working on a quilt. It's a new design by Missouri Star Quilt Company called Disappearing Pinwheel Shoofly.

Those are the first 9 blocks. I like how it's coming together!

Mat teaches our city nephews some survival

Our nephews are city boys. That's ok. To each his own, but Mat wanted to teach them a thing or two about bring prepared and country life.

He, papa, and their father (step father for the younger one) were shooting pellet rifles with them. 

Those soda cans didn't stand a chance!

Then Mat was excited to teach them how to start a fire without matches. They were pretty excited about it!  

Then they tried on their own. 

The only one to actually start a fire before attention spans wore out was Mat. But they all posed with it. 

Fun!

We met our new nephew

We made the trek down to WI last weekend to meet our newest nephew.  He's precious!

Daughter had loads of fun playing with her cousins. 

On the way home we stopped by the lake to get Mookie and took a break from the car. Daughter was a trooper but she needed a break!  Swimming in the lake was just the thing!

Second trip to SR Harris :)

For some reason this didn't publish when I wrote it last month... so here it is :)

We got down to the cities early for the visitation this weekend, thinking we could visit with my sister and her kids. That didn't work out so we went to SR Harris. Daughter loved it again! She is so going to be a quilter :)
