We had a great time at the farm. Debbie and I shucked 160 cobs of corn. We cut it off the cob, boil it, and put it in freezer bags. The boys were so well behaved. The weather was so nice they played outside most of the time. They went on many frog hunts and managed to catch 8. Layne really wanted to take one of the frogs home, but Tim didn't think that would be a good idea. You never know what they might have gotten into. So Tim suggested that we get him a hamster instead. We already had everything we needed for one so yesterday when we got home we went to the pet store and got a male long haired teddy bear hamster. Layne named him Phineas from the cartoon "Phineas and Ferb". Chole doesn't like him. She sat there and winned at it all day. But the twins like him. Every couple of minutes today they would walk up to him and say "hi Phineas". Really cute! Anyway back to the farm, we went to church on Sunday, Grandma wanted to show off her grandbabies. The boys were all really good. Grandma Debbie help them build a fort and they went running through a wheat field. You can really tell that they are city kids because Layne didn't even know what it was. So we went for a car ride to find a farmer that was combinding so we could show him what they do to the tops and bottoms. We really had a nice weekend.

This is a busy week. I have 2 economic's test to take, LWML, Sunday School meeting, Board of Ed meeting, and then an LWML retreat on Friday and Saturday. I am also trying to work on getting everything together for rally day at church and last minuted details for mom's wedding. It sounds like a lot but everything is coming together nicely!
