Boonies, My Precious Darlings, The Country Garden
She’s bored! Bored bored bored! Nothing to do. In spite of the 200 satellite TV channels, Nintendo DS, computer, 5000 cats, two dogs, and acres of woods and streams.
Bored!!!
So she painted her face. Then she painted her jeans. Her new jeans. With permanent markers.
She’s not bored anymore, ha!
We planted: green beans, carrots, spinach, onions, corn, squash, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and assorted herbs and flowers.
You?
I love spring!

My youngest just took permanent marker to our entry way which of course we just finished painting…

My 5yo is bored too. He came home from playing with the neighbor girl. “Hi Mom! I apparently didn’t have a good time!”
Must hide the picture of your daughter’s face art from him.

Yep. . . I’m really looking forward to 2.5 months at home with a bored teenager and two active preschoolers.
Perhaps we should move to the country and I could put them to work!Ha!
