It was boring to Luke!

I could give you some of my Quiet Pony Powder, see if that helps take the edge off :~D

I think the thread took a Quiet Pony Powder last night...

Going back over the thread reading...

The kids don't ever give me problems in church, but I did have one episode that I will recount now. On the way, Steve was very grumpy, doing things to purposely irritate me, just picking on me. By the time we got to church, we'd had a pretty major blowout and both of us were angry. I took some deep breaths, tried to calm down and went and sat in the sanctuary. Steve was swelled up like a drowned toad. Wouldn't sing, wouldn't shake hands with anyone, just in a real snit. I just suddenly felt like this one no way to come before the Lord and I took the boys by the hand, told Steve "Get up, we're leaving" and out we went. Right in front of God and everybody.

Heh heh...God bless him, he was pretty stuned. Looking back on it, it's kinda funny...but it took us all day to work through that little bump in the road. We obviously did, and he hasn't given me any problems in church since.

Heh heh!!

Ok, here's some pictures of the garden taken this past weekend....

Here are the five different squashes...

Pattypan:

Zucchini:

Straightneck yellow:

Crookneck yellow:

Butternut (note the leaf size in relation to my admittedly very dirty size six foot.):

Here is a picture Joshua took of me next to the pattypan squash...see my green thumb? Heh heh...I'd been spray painting a birdhouse.

Here's the teepee. See, we planted the Kentucky Wonder beans in V-shaped cages sunk in the ground to thwart the bunnies and the gophers at the same time.

Here is the little patio tomatoes...they're doing great. Peas are gone...they're all done.

Here's the corn bed, with a cage built around it to keep Fiver at bay.

Here's my EarthBox that a friend of Steve's gave to me...it has four peppers and two tomatoes in it...

Here's the garden at the end of the day...

Jedis swimming in the evening while Steve grills burgers and squash...

Here's the jedis before VBS this morning.
