To the Ignorant person.....

 In my family, namely my brother...who I swear said the following during a heated argument over whether I would or would not pack myself  and the kids up to drive down to FLA and take mom to an appoinment:

" Ya know sis you don't really work. Your a stay at home mom..yea right! there are other mothers out there that actually do have a job, so stop acting like its your effin cross to bear"

Well Mr. JackA$$ today this girl, picked, shucked, de-cobbed, cleaned out the corn field and loaded the old stalks for Senior to carry over to the neighbors cows...
And TRUST ME...trying to de-cob some 100+ ears of corn, while cooking dinner and keeping peace between two boys is no easy task!

So Don't tell me we housewives, and stay at home moms DON'T WORK!!!!!!!

We can't all sit on our posh water front property sucking down beers by the pool while calling our 80+ year old parents and harrassing them with profanity..some of us actually do give a damn about our family.
What a "Son of the Year" he is!

 

Besides the fact I am entirely Pissed off right now...the look on this cows face does crack me up! She is like " this is some good S----"

our lil man turned 10

 

 

our oldest NW turned the big 10 today....where on earth has the time gone?  If you have babies, or little toddlers, then please enjoy this time with them. My sister told me once, to wait until they start school, then the time will zoom right by you before you know it. She was right.

 

When we asked what he wanted for his birthday his answer was simple, he said he would like his own Hennessy Hammock tent, a big boy watch (" because ya know mom I am not a little kid anymore and really getting out of toys" ). he also asked for "Lego Marvels" for Xbox. 

 

Well he got all three...  here he is proudly displaying his Scout version hammock, and his new explorer edition watch, it even glows..lol 

 

 

After eating the triple chocolate cake I made for him, NW, ND and Senior had to set up the new tent so the birthday boy could try it out:

If you have kids, then we reccommend the Scout version, it is perfect for them.

corn pickin time

The corn is ready...  We are literally up to our ears in it!  the first 75-100 ears we boiled for 7-8 minutes then soaked in ice water before sealing them with the foodsaver. the bad ones we gave to the chickens.

 

Next couple of batches, I think we will can. Either way, this family is going to be eating a lot of corn throughout the winter months...  lol   

 

 

 

And in other news, the major heat wave we had over the past few weeks broke down, and the rains have returned. Yesterday was a nice cooling downpour:

our family is celebrating our little man NW turing 10 today. I remember when I had him my sister told me to enjoy those moments, because once they start school the years start flying by, and sad to say she was right. I have no idea where the time went....(sniff, sniff) 

Now made in the USA

 

They banned the importation of them, but they did not stop the company from opening up a factory here. Just proves there are ways around the law.

  The first ones have rolled off the assembly line, and  Senior is ready to get one that is stamped:  "Made in the USA"  

What a great country we live in!  

Kalashnikov Factory Opens

LoL

Our garden is producing....

We got some beautiful cantaloupes and watermelons coming in on the vines.
This really excites us because along with the corn, these are a first for us:

I noticed our zucchini has sprouted.. We love us some fried zucchini:

The tomatoes were growing by leaps and bounds, so instead of the cheapie ones from the store. We bought some green PVC coated garden fence and Senior made his own. We got the yellow tent stakes to keep them in place:

Well folks some heavy storms are moving into the area and that means much needed rain (we hope) for the garden...
Have a good night
