Fairie creatures???

As I was laying down one day for a nap, watching the dust specks glitter in the streaming sun light, I thought to myself... "Why couldn't there be fairies? " Our God is a great God, how do we really know that He didn't create creatures that are 'magical' and invisible to our fallible human eyes. Wonderful creatures that we could only imagine! I lay there pondering this (and missing my nap) when I realized something... We are created in God's image. God is creative... perhaps He chose to leave some things uncreated, giving us humans the opportunity to dream them up.

Just a thought.

parental advisory!!

Ashton was super exited to watch the slaughter of two pigs. That was an education he never would have gotten in a public school.

One of the kids' favorite thing was playing with the kittens... and there were a lot of them. A full dozen kittens in all. Ashton wanted to bring the little yellow and white one home. But that was our number one rule... the only animal we bring home is the one we take out there with us.

We couldn't believe the luck of our timing... we actually watched a guinea pig give birth. She had three babies and I let the kids hold one a couple hours after they were born.

Playing with the endangered desert tortoises. The tortoises would follow us around as we pulled weeds in the yard.

Doing school work at the farm.

Moo!

We took a walk out into the desert and on our little adventure we found several skeletons. The kids loved playing with the bones. Yes, they washed really well when we got back to the house.

While we spent the week at my grandma's house the kids rode their pony everyday. Snowball is such a good girl, she let them just play. They would take turns leading and riding.

Well, the kids and just got back from my grandma's house. We spent 6 days out there and had a lot of fun. They rode their pony a lot and helped feed the horses and donkeys. we went for a walk out in the desert and found skeletons. We watched the birth of guinea pigs and the death of real pigs. We played with kittens and goats. All in all it was a great week. We were not ready to come back but at sometime you have to return to reality. I will post pictures as soon as I get them on the computer, but for now... I need a nap.

Well, we started our school yesterday. And that is pretty much all I have to say about that.
