A crazy, normal life!

Well, things have been a bit crazy around here lately. It seems like every time I've sat down to try to type up something, someone is getting into the fridge, escaping to the backyard, someone is hitting, "ya-ya" is doing something and I "have to come see", naps are abrubtly over, or some other major crisis can't be averted. Needless to say, it has been a while since I've had a chance to write anything. So, here is a brief attempt at an update:
I was going through some pictures on the camera the other day and thought I'd share a few from a field trip Sam's preschool class took to the Littleton Historical Museum not too long ago. It is a living, outdoor museum with homes and farms fashioned after those built during the 1800's. They have live animals, they plant crops and farm them in the customary style to the time period, and I heard that in the fall they have hay rides and a pumpkin patch. All the kids really enjoyed it.

Sam was excited to find pig tracks on the ground.
(Some of the animals wander freely around the farm.)

The water pump was a popular attraction for all the kids!

Of course we had to check out EVERYTHING!The boys enjoyed taking their own snapshots!
