Cleaning the shedI did not get very creative with this weeks photo challenge since I didn't start snapping any shots until yesterday. The theme of the weekend was working around the house so that was what I had to work with....barn attire. Don't let me fool you, I am by NO means one to dress up! I have one dress, it is black and I call it my funeral/wedding dress. I don't wear nylons or heels, I'm ALL ABOUT comfort.
Feeding the hogs.Below is a kid interview that has been going around face book. I thought it would to be fun to post here with this weeks photo theme.
Luke & Leah were interviewed separately and the side notes are from yours truly.
1. What is something mom always says to you?
Leah: be careful (so true)
Luke: clean your room (they rarely do without bribery!)

Leah: be good (true)
Luke: breakfast in bed (the kids did this for me on Valentine's day)
3. What makes mom sad?
Leah: when I'm being bad (true)
Luke: me growing up (I do whine about them growing up)
4. How does your mom make you laugh?
Leah: tickles me
Luke: when your tired and you say words wrong like when you kept saying hog house instead of log house when we were reading Little House in the Big Woods.
(we laughed until tears after Luke pointed out that I said it 2 times in a row. It was the night one of our hogs got loose)

you have great kids who know they are loved, and liked! Kids know when adults like them and your kids show that. Good job.
Did I miss a chick post? I know you just got a gazillion ducks, but did you get chicks too?
BTW, how are duck sales going?
cute kids and husband ain't bad either. If I had to wear nylons again, that would be torture.
How sweet!
I like the first self portrait - cute! And the interview is really sweet!
I love that kid interview! I'm finding that I'm really enjoying my son's teen years (believe it or not) and I'm not happy that he's growing up. You guys always catch the nicest fish. What's your secret?
Very cute post Kim. And where is the post about the baby chicks? I didn't know you got them either! Have a great week
Ahhhh...love that first pic...makin' me feel right at home!!! Great family too!
The self portrait is great! The kids interview was cute. Isn't it interesting to see how they "see" things sometimes. You never quite know what you're going to get.
That was just the sweetest thing ever. You've got some wonderful kids, my friend! :) Oh, and I love your sweatshirt! :)
That was funny, thanks for sharing.
I want to cry...thats so sweet and the next thing you know you'll have two teenagers you'll have to bribe to give you a kiss! Enjoy it while you can!
Those were great portraits...it really shows the real you...a country girl! Ü
Excellent entry, cute kiddies~
;)
Marie
Those are good. Love the way it shows you working around the house!
Those were great answers! I especially love the one about you being famous rock star!
And Luke must think you're pretty short! LOL-
Very nice! Beautiful images of family!
Love the interview! Very cute and sweet answers from your kiddos. Love your self portraits too!
That shed looks too clean to be a shed! Great fish and some great stories too I bet!
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS EVERYONE!
DON, YOU DID NOT MISS THE POST. I HAVE YET TO WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT THOSE SWEET LITTLE CHICKS.
WE HAVE THIRTY SOMETHING DUCKS LEFT BUT 20 ARE CALLED FOR.
AMY, THAT IS GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT THE TEEN YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD A WHOLE LOT OF NEGATIVE LATELY FROM FRIENDS. I AM HOPING MY KIDS WILL BE THE EXCEPTION.
FISHING ISN'T MY DEAL. MAINE MAN IS THE GREAT OUTDOORSMAN. HE HAS A GOOD LOCATION THAT HE TAKES THE KIDS.
JANINE, THE CHICKEN POST IS COMING....
Great pics, and I LOVE the interview - don't worry they'll be great teenagers!
Great pics! Loved the interview-you've got some sweet kids. I laughed at the cleaning house answers, because that's probably what mine would say, too.
Wonderful photos and enjoyed the kids interview. Maineman is quite the fisherman, looks like him and the kids keep you well stocked with fish dinners. I am looking forward to the lake perch running here soon. I can't wait to go fishing!!!
Love that first pic! Great submission for last week's challenge! :)
I didn't realize my mom was such a great housekeeper until after I moved out! LOL
