The other day, the cows in the field behind our house were very close.  Here are some pictures that Jacob took...they were probably 1-2 feet away.  Thankful there was a fence between them and my boys.

Joseph really wanted a bubble bath the other day.  He discovered shampoo works well too!  I don't even want to know how much of the bottle he used to get this many bubbles.

I think I do pretty well embracing the chaos and noise of my boys.  I really struggle with the mess of the boys.  So, I am trying to be more proactive in letting them make messes.  Jacob used my drill to drill some pieces of wood together.  Then I pulled out the paint and let them paint.  Never mind that I forgot to tell Jacob how to clean the paintbrush.  He used the bathroom sink and managed to splatter paint all over the place, and we have not been very successful at getting it off.  Oh well, the bathroom needs to be painted.  I made sure to show this guy the proper way to clean a paintbrush.

Been pretty quiet around here.  We have had cooler weather.  It actually lightly snowed the day we got back to Montana.  The boys have been playing with friends outside.  JR is working hard and staying busy.  I have been getting things back in order!
