Just an ordinary day

Zig came home around noon today which was unexpected. It's always a great suprise when he walks in the door in the middle of the afternoon. I only slept four hours last night so I was very tired and dragging by mid-morning. I spent the day in slow motion it seemed. Everywhere I looked I was reminded of things I needed to do, but I was incredibly unproductive and walked around in a daze most of the day.

When Sela came home from school, she and Nina and the neighbors played outside until dusk. They started working on their dog sitting business posters for the summer. All the girls want more dogs than they currently have and Sela says she wants to get to know many breeds for her future plan of having a dog rescue operation along with being an artist. So "Maple Springs Farm Dog Walkers/Sitters" was born. They are collaborating with Sophia on this venture. Their target market is toy dogs and small dogs. It's so fun to see the creative wheels spinning. I think they just want to get their hands on a chihuahua since both their families won't entertain the idea of acquiring one!

I walked around the yard and played with my camera a little bit. And I enjoyed watching Rollin and Zig. I wanted to freeze time today seeing those two together on their knees digging in the dirt. Such good times. They worked together planting more strawberries. Rollin just loves a task and even more he loves to be helpful and work alongside Zig. He only likes the real tools and he is pretty good at using them. He is such a fun little boy.

Too tired to cook tonight, we headed out fairly late for dinner but it was a nice break and the kids were excited since we don't eat out too often together in the evenings.





Nina made a little treasure box with felt and an altoid container. I hid a little chocolate in it and you should have seen her eyes light up!

It's almost tulip time!
