Random Farm Funnies

My children L-O-V-E to build things. Legos, Kinnex, Magnets, you name it they build things. It is not unusual to find Kid K'nex in weird places around the house. (right next to the Nerf darts) The other day Ben had created a headset with the K'nex so that he and Matt could use them to 'radio' one another. Then he had to make one for Cait, so she could 'call' her friends. We are on our way up to Murfreesboro to pick Spencer up from work and I hear Caitlyn say, while still wearing her headset,
"Welcome to Slushie Burger. We have good food and good taste. May I take your order?" Hmm, maybe too many drive-thru dinners for that one...

Spencer recently taught our boys how to play "Bang", which is a Spaghetti Western card game. It is really fun to play. It can get a bit crazy and you have to keep track of a lot of cards. The boys are in heaven, they love playing with their dad. I was pretty amazed at how quickly they caught on. Matthew is a natural and will kill you very quickly! The other night we played as a family, Cait and I were a team. It came down between Matthew and her and I. It was pretty intense! (You will just have to take my word for it.) There are these cards called 'bang' cards that allow you to shoot your opponents, there are also 'duel' cards in which you have to play bang cards back and forth. Ben was trying to help Matt finish me off and suggested that he play his duel card.
"Play this one Matt, she doesn't have anymore bang cards!"
To which Matthew loudly whispered back,
"Neither do I"
I guess we still need to work on his 'poker-face'!

How funny! A poker face I do not have. It was great seeing you last night at church. I'm sorry I didn't get to say more than a passing "hi!"
BTW, you look great!

Aww! Thanks for the compliment. I seem to only see you in passing, some day we will get to sit and chat.
