Officially A Freshman

Last night Hannah went to register for high school.  She is officially a high schooler.  She has her schedule and ID in hand, got her books, put them in her locker, scouted out her classrooms, and is ready to go!

Pretty Colors In The Sky

A storm in one direction and a sunset in another made for some pretty color combinations in the sky.


 The sky also came with a full moon.

Howlin' at the moon.

Weather For Buzzin'

Who needs a barber when the kids have a clippers?  The weather has been warm and the boys have been begging for a buzz (cut).  Tonight I was told that "practicing" and "experimenting" are two different things.  Tonight we experimented.

 

The Cart Before The Horse

I dug our old horse cart out from the upstairs of the barn.  Feeding a Deere is definitely a lot cheaper than feeding a horse--not to mention it doesn't do flips over the picnic table like our horse did while pulling the cart.  That's why the Deere is still here and the horse is not.

Jack's First Raspberries

Last year Jack-jack planted a raspberry bush.  The boy LOVES his raspberries!  Today he got his first sampling.  Two plump, juicy, and ripe red raspberries.  Yum!


 

Bubbles No Troubles

The latest business adventure at the Krell house is Cheyenne and Jack's car washing business.

The kids are finding how nice it is to go somewhere and have their own money to spend.  They also are realizing that once the money is spent, it is gone, there is no more.  So they started to think of ways to make some money of their own.

One day, while washing the truck, an idea came to mind.  "How about we wash and vacuum cars."  Both very excited over the idea.  They came up with a price list, put together a little box with their supplies, and even made up a name for themselves.  Bubbles No Troubles.


So far they have a couple of jobs.  Auntie Sara has an appointment tomorrow.  And Uncle Adam has them booked to do his tractors out at the farm Saturday morning.  They are excited and so their little business adventure begins!

Mini Biker

Some days I am not sure who the bigger kid around here really is.
