5 pennies, 2.2 miles, and a boy on a horse...

So this past week or so has been pretty busy. I did get a few fun shots of the kids, though. The highlight of the week was a mistake, really. I was going to mow my jungle-of-a-lawn on Saturday and when I got the two boys outside, I found that I needed to add some motor oil. Well, we didn't have any. And the kicker was that Stephanie was at her parent’s house and going to be there most of the afternoon. So I had to choose between doing nothing, mowing the lawn and hoping that I didn't break the mower, or trying to figure out how to get some oil....

So I decided to take the boys for a walk to the nearby gas station to get some oil. Only I found out the next night that the walk that I was undertaking was 1.1 miles long...one way. So, Micah rode his bike most of the way and Noah was in the stroller the whole time. It was pretty exhausting for Micah, but we had a good time. We got juice and a Kit-Kat at the gas station. So, on a few of the MANY breaks that we took to rest (Micah liked to relax in the grass), they enjoyed cool-ade and the chocolate treat.

Sunday night was fun for Micah, because at his Awana Cubbies club it was Cowboy Night! So Micah was able to dress up as a cowboy, ride a horsie, and bring a big buddy (all stuffed animals are classified in the category of “buddies”). It was a night to remember.

Reaping the Whirlwind

Fun with Dirt

Micah was so proud of himself. He climbed up the high-chair, sat on the food tray, and insisted that Stephanie take a picture.

The Buck men are getting ready to get back to work on the reason why there is so much fun dirt to play in…

Warren's new Shop. You're seeing the lower garage level. The actual woodshop will be the same size, but one floor up. WOW!

The final two pictures were taken during a recent edition of "sanity supper". What's a sanity supper, you ask? Well, it's basically what happens when the kids go crazy, drive mamma crazier, and all that dad can think of to feed the kids, extract mamma from the assylum that the house has become, and to spend family time together. And that usually boils down to a few options: Playland or Perkins. This time, it was Perkins.
