Today was quite a busy day. I drove my middle daughter in today for her grad pictures. It is hard to believe I will have had three graduates. Man time is flying by.Then I went back to town to get snow tires on. I had my oldest daughter drive me around to do a few errands. We had a very quick walk. Then it was a mad rush to go watch volley ball. We then flew home the kids grabbed a snack then off to hockey. Our weather is hanging in there and that is so good. We do not want any snow down here yet.
My Mama Alpacas and baby seem to be enjoying the barn. I cleaned it out today. I hope to be able to clean it every day. One day slacking can mess it up for the whole winter. It is just like not digging your gates out after the snow fall. No digging means climbing fences and gates all the way to Spring.
Tomorrow is another busy day. I am not allowed to say what we are doing... but I will hint... it involves my learner driver...

I love this picture Hyacinth took. It looks like the leaves were place by choice on the tree.
Today I stayed home. I moved my two momma alpacas and the baby into the barn. I need to dry that baby off. They will not go into any of the shelters I have for them. So in the barn they went.
They can still go outside from while they are in the barn. Their food and water will be inside so they get used to staying in. Not the brightest lot.
We had a bit of a snow storm this morning but it all melted during the day. A full fledged winter is still staying on the out skirts.
My oldest son is home for a day or two which is nice. He went hunting with my brother this morning and now has gone to do some visiting.
Tomorrow I am taking my truck in for snow tires. Will these tires ever quit...
I am hoping to finish my picture I am working on. I just need a bit more time uninterrupted time.
Tomorrow is Grad picture day, then next day driving test
Well I am off. Have a good night.

I am on my way to Armstrong. Sam has a hockey game then Hya has a hockey game. The sun is shining beautifully, 7 degrees a very very nice day. We had a very quick visit with Jordan. I hate how our life is rushing full speed ahead no time to think. I so wanted to visit Jord longer.
Tomorrow I am staying home to farm. I need to movce my Alpaca's in the barn the weather is just way too wet.
We just found out this morning Tanisha can not get her license in our new truck. We do not have snowflakes on our tires. So mad panic, phoning around. Gm has some tires and will squeeeze us in Monday. Will it ever quit. I will be so happy when she get this license. I do hope she gets it soon.
I wish you could see our sunshine, it is amazing out. Well I should run in case I loose cell service. Have a fun weekend.

More rain for most of the day. I wonder what will blow in next. Our power keep going out and in flickers all day long ever since the last long power outage. I am wondering if I should let someone know. We did a little practicing for the driving after school. I will be so glad when she gets her license. Next week if we are lucky.
I have to decide if I am going to go on the road trip for hockey tomorrow. I would but we will get home really late and if the roads are bad...it will make me stress out.
I think I will head off to bed have a good night.

Sparkly fairy play ground
This afternoon and evening it has been raining very hard again. All our snow has melted and now we get to enjoy the mud.
Today was a very nice half day of school for the kids. I had parent teacher interview with my youngest this afternoon. It went well.
Tomorrow is the start of a full weekend of hockey. Non stop full speed ahead.

Oh my God!!! I just watched the most horrible video of a man being arrested. I was so disturbing to watch. I truly hope his Mother never ever decides to watch that. What is happening to our world... I think part of my heart broke watching that. I would hate to be the police, the ambulance or that poor, poor mans family. NO-BODY'S LIFE SHOULD END THAT WAY.
I don't even have an answer. I swear it would kill me if that was my boy. Watching him shout out like that. NO shit he was screaming. I think anyone bleeding from being beat like that would not be normal.
I truly can't tell you how upset I am. His poor family! Never in a million years will they ever get over it. Gosh I hope his Mom does not see it.
I know a lot of bad things happen. That there is a lot of rotten people. However we all must remember they belong to someone. His Mom and Dad love him. Gosh I wish I could erase that and that I had never watched it. Please everyone pray for his Mom and Dad
I am going to have to ban watch I look at in the news. That was not good for me. I can't stop sniveling about it.

It has been raining non stop now. Where was this rain in the hot summer when we needed it. It is crazy but I would sooner have rain than snow.
Not a whole lot new. Just the monotonous life of hockey. Wondering how we are going to fit the next weekend into our life. Then wondering why do we do it...
Today we finally put winter tires on our oldest daughters car. Thank goodness the snow held off until we could mange to do it. Then next is our logging truck then our pick up.
I have started my project. I am not too sure how it will turn out. I need to get a few more photos. I am having a hard time getting my pictures from my back up drive so I can send them either to Walmart or print them myself. I am sure it is quite easy I just do not know how to do it.
I think I will head off to bed have a good night.
