if you know me you know this is not at all normal behavior for me.
but, the big boys have sports camp all week and it begins at 8:00...40 minutes away.
having four kids means allotting enough time for something to go wrong.
{you know, lost shoes, funky hair, grumpy kids.}
since i'm getting up before the birds every morning i've been napping with jett and mckinley.
oh, yeah!!!

this was definitely the highlight of our day.
we saw an amish family driving their horse and buggy down the main road.
the kids all wanted to see the "he-he" {horse} so i made a u-turn and followed that buggy!
their were like five kids in the back and they were all waving to us and smiling.
all the while their parents looked straight ahead.
i would love to be a fly on the wall in an amish home.
i'd love to see what the children play, how many chores they do without complaining, how the dinner table is set, hear the stories of today's harvest.
i wonder if we could get a family to invite us to dinner?

my sunflowers are {mostly} still growing strong.
the bees are still loving them too!

i googled "how to roast sunflower seeds" and came up with lots of info.
first step is to cut the heads off and let them dry.
