First of all,
I need you to mourn with me for just a moment or two.
I tried my first batch of mozzarella cheese...
and it was a failure.
Dang it.
But the good news is,
I now know how to spell it without using my spell-check.
Baby steps.
I blame the quality of milk.
Which is all the more reason I need dairy goats.
Moving on...
We went to our little teeny tiny township fair yesterday.
I had all kinds of fantasies of my Chinese children
quickly becoming little cattle ranchers
and bread bakers as a result
of our experience.
Sigh.
That didn't happen.
Far from it.
But 3 out of 4 of them did enjoy the horse shoes.
So I count that as a step in the right direction....

But I totally lost them during the Farm Skills Contest.
Not a smile to be seen for miles.
Nary a grin.
I think Macy's expression pretty much sums
up her opinion on country livin'.
Chinese city slickers.
I'll convert them if it kills me.
Yes, I will.

Don't give up!! :) My Chloe just asked me today if she could get a chicken so that she could sell the eggs. She was dead serious. So I told her I would ask you how much it costs to feed a chicken...do you need a rooster for the hen(s) to lay eggs, etc. Lay it on me, girl! She and Jeff figured out a way to hide them from the neighbors. ha.
I'm sorry, but those "farm skills" pics made my morning...FUNNY!! Keep workin on that cheese, friend. You can do it!
I love Macy's face! So not fun, mom! ;) Sorry the mozzarella didn't turn out! It will soon! :) Isn't this weather glorious? Lovin' it!!! :)
hahaha... Macy's expression says, um, yeah, take me to something I hate AND take a picture?? lol
LOL!
Yeah, what is WITH these kids? Took mine to a country auction and all they wondered is..."can we get something to eat?"
Cheese makin ain't for the faint of heart...
ROFL, even Isaiah looked bored out of his tree! (-: Too funny. Mabie Macy will like to milk the goat when you get her. *every* teen girl dreams of the day they get to milk the *family goat*.
(-: *sigh* You just kill me
Too funny. LOVE Macy's face. Also love the totally fazed out faces of the other kids.
