Can it really have been a whole month since I posted on my blog???

Wow, I can't believe it has been that long. what have we been doing? We went to a strawberry farm and picked our own strawberries (my plants are babies this year so they aren't producing much). Don't ever take 5 kids under 10 when you want to pick alot of strawberries, they will be bored in 5 minutes. Danny ran all over the fields smashing strawberries in every row. The strawberries were delicious though. Dan made a surprise visit to CA to visit his brother for a weekend. He had lots of fun. The electric fence was turned off (by Danny I can guess) and the dogs left the yard. Chopper came home on her own but Kylie had to be picked up at the pound. It was a frantic day. I just finished 7 sets of borders for a border swap and they were exhausting but I think they were my best work yet. Madison went to Vacation Bible School with our neighbors and she loved it. I went to a Stampin Up party for the first time. I think it may be addicting. I had a great time. I also met some new people and that is a good thing. I am desperately lonely for my CA friends and while no one can replace them, I need to find some local friends. We are potty training Danny or I should say trying to potty train Danny. He is not so sure. So far it is not going so well. We also went to see the monster trucks. Danny really liked those. And we went to see the movie Cars. It was Danny's first trip to the theater. he loved the movie and I can't believe the little boy who can't sit stil,l sat through the whole movie fascinated.
