Up to date? Not so much.

Here we are in May and I can hardly believe that I have not posted on this blog since January! Summer is upon us and my last post was in reference to snow and Christmas. So now we play 'catch up'.....

We have had a few interesting day trips and events happening around here in the past few months. Probably the most interesting was Miss Thing doing You're A Good Man Charlie Brown at the local theatre. Boy howdy, was she good! She had the part of Snoopy and was hilarious. There are times when she lets her good sense of humor show and her Dad and I are just left in tears of laughter. But that is nothing compared to her acting in this show. She seems to have a natural comedic ability. This kid never ceases to amaze me. Of course we did not take 1 picture! We are sorry parents.....I know. Maybe I can beg some pics of the show off of a more prepared and organized parent and post them.

We went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for the day. That was an interesting time. We were a bunch of grumpy people that probably should have stayed home. LOL. After it was all said and done we had a good time, but there were times that I thought "we will never do this again!". We will though. Here is a pic from that day- I call it 2 Turkeys.

We didn't do anything fun for Spring Break this year. I had to work and well, that takes all of the fun out of everything.

In April, we went to Washington on the Brazos State Park for the day. We had taken a day trip there in September, but we did not go to the historic farm that they have on site. So, when we decided to take a drive to see the Texas Bluebonnets in full bloom, we decided to make a trip to Barrington Farm. We picked the perfect weekend to go. The were having the Real Texas Women weekend. Barrington Farm was the home to the last president of the Republic of Texas (Johnson, I think, was his name). They have historians and volunteers that dress and run the farm as if it was the 1850's and 60's. On this particular weekend, they had demonstrations and handicrafts of the ladies of that time period. Miss Thing was able to try her hand at some of the handicrafts and had the best time. We all had a wonderful time and are looking forward to going back again. Here are some pics of that adventure-

Making a diary.


Feeding the chickens.
Made a corn husk doll...yes, she closed her eyes on purpose. Odd child.

And lastly, the most handsome man there!

I have more pics of the farm and can't get blogger to load them, so I will try to do another post with more pics.

Until then, y'all be blessed (and be cool!).
