Sometimes there is nothing that inspires me to write a post and other days I keep thinking that every little thing we do needs to be mentioned on here! Yesterday I had so many ideas but I had already posted a review and it was a busy day so I held off. Lets see if I remember anything!

• Ben was in the pool swimming away and rescuing Japanese Beetles yesterday and he made up a cute song “Japaneetles, Japaneetles you’re my favorite kind of bug…..” but I forget the rest. Yes both boys call them Japaneetles and I never correct them because its cute. I had been shaking the branches of our Chestnut tree that gets ravaged every year by them so that they would fall and the chickens would eat them (really worked) and I (who tells the boys not to squish any bugs) had been killing them with my shoes. So I stopped the war on beetles weeks ago after the boys started rescuing them from drowning in the pool and collecting beetle families and playing with them until they flew away. The tree looks brown and ugly but the boys don’t notice!
• I made some pancakes with old bisquick and they turned out rather yucky so we fed them to the chickens the other day and I actually got some pictures of all 7 of them together (harder than posing the 3 kids) next I’ll have to work on getting pictures that aren’t fuzzy.
• Jamie has been teething with molars and has been having a super cranky week but she manages to still be cute! She has been saying something that I wanted to mention and now I forget, guess I should make notes in the future!
• Ethan and Ben started football this week and wow was their coach a space cadet! Luckily my friend’s husband is stepping in to “help” him and really running things now because the first practice made me insane! They meet 3 times a week and the boys are excited, especially Ben.
• Ethan missed football last night because he had his first run in with our driveway. He is a bit of a daredevil but he managed to fall off his razor big wheel while doing one of his spin outs and he wasn’t wearing a shirt so he got VERY scraped up. He also got a golf ball sized bump on his head. I was glad he didn’t want to play football after that because it would have hurt.
• We have lots of pumpkins in our garden this year so we checked those out the other day and then the kids picked all of the carrots. They didn’t get big but it was our first attempt at them and I’m just glad Ethan was happy with them since its all he wanted to grow. I washed them and left a short handle of stems and they ate them dipped in ranch dressing.
• Oh well I forget whatever else I thought was so great to blog about! Maybe I’ll think of it later and tack it on!
• Oh I remembered one thing, Jamie is STILL talking DAILY about how “the bee hurt my belly” and its been over 2 weeks now. Its the first thing she says if she talks to anyone on the phone and I am wondering when it will stop but there hasn’t been a day since she got stung that she hasn’t mentioned it at least once (today it was twice so far). I keep responding “yes but you’re okay and the bee went bye bye” but its not working!
