Monday....

It has been a fun filled week with Mr. Rigger at home but today he heads back to work.Our week was full. It always flies by so quickly that its hard to remember what we got done, however we will both admit that the day after Mr. Rigger goes to work... Nothing gets done.... Mama goes to bed at 7pm with the kids and catches up on all that missed sleep....

Tuesday.... Picked up Mr. Rigger and headed to a friends to pull down the remainder of the demo project we had undertaken earlier in the week. Got home, bathed kids... watched a movie together... passed out

Wednesday... DATE DAY... Dropped off some kids to a friend, left some with Gramma and headed out.... To town for gas and mail then the city for lunch, then Swift Current to pick up OUR NEW VAN!!!! Picked up the kids in that next Van and they were soooo excited!

Thursday... Mr. Rigger hauled water,played with babies, and cleaned the yard. Went to town and got birthday presents, Easter supplies... etc...

Friday... Picked up a kid from Lisas... Released BOB ( the turtle) into the slough in our yard (he LOVES IT), Cleaned the barn, played with Sheep, Cleaned, cleaned.... cleaned

Saturday... Picked up some kids from Lisa and decorated eggs, watched Mr. Rigger clean the barn, cleaned out a granary for the chicks coming THIS WEEK!!! Cleaned.... Cleaned oh and we cleaned

Sunday... Easter!! Chinese dinner and egg hunt at Lisas... It was awesome... We are pretty good cooks! Ginger Beef, Pineapple Pork, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chicken Balls, Spring Rolls, Rice, Stir Fry and Noodles.... It was like take out! mmmmmm.....

And today.... we have to hook up the heat lamps in the chicken barn..... haul more water, laundry... lots of laundry!... go buy some new fish.... a bit of groceries and drop Mr. Rigger at the airport....

It will be a long day... oooo... french toast for breakfast.... yum yum.....

This is Big Dog with his very swollen face a day after getting his top braces... He is super sore but getting used to them...

Lots of Basil .... Yum yum yum...

Our tractor and head driver.... with assistant driver.....

This machine is going to make my gardening soooooo much easier.... Mr. Rigger also informed me that the next time he is home he will pick up a cultivator (plow)... its not a rototiller but it will be awesome.

That is one FABULOUS sweater and scarf set right there!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!

That is a whole lot of room for a whole lot more kids.... seven more to be exact..... Ohhh the kids are so happy not to be smooshed into the back of the truck... all but big dog have booster seats or car seats, they all have window seats... they love it..

Ain't she perdy?????

Tomato..... amongst many dead plants....

Mama... doing some surgery on Big Dog... at home dentistry is what we call that!! He had a wire come loose and it was cutting the inside of his mouth.... rather than a two hour run to the city... a pair of wire cutters and tweezers work just dandy!!

(blurry huh?)

Have a good week....

Hopefully i get inspired and get a moment to blog again soon... ITS ALMOST MAY.... when did that happen!!
