My Kind of Country Livin'

Sorry Karma, this post had to wait because some of the pictures I needed were on Chris' computer. I still have a headache. Wanted to see the chiropracter, but she is out of town until Monday. So, I am hoping and praying this headache doesn't hang around all weekend.

Anyway...I don't think I could ever live in the country. I don't like creepy, crawly creatures that come along with country life. I like having neighbors that I can bump into. But, I really like have some of the benefits in my own backyard.

This is our backyard. Especially when the trees are full, it looks like we are in the middle of nowhere! They line the entire back of our yard and all the neighbors' yards too. Saturday we enjoyed some baseball...

T-ball...

And, chewing on some toys.

Monday morning the boys and I saw two bunnies hopping all over the yard. And, two ducks waddling through the neighbor's yard...

Tonight we even saw a mama duck and six little ducklings. I was quick to point out to Grayson how closely they stayed to their Mama! :) We also like to watch the squirrels jumping from one tree to the next - the cute creatures of "country life."

And, the best part of my kind of country livin' is just past those trees...the road that, if I get on it, leads me to Target in about 3 minutes!

As far as creepy crawly things go, this is all I worry about right now...

These fake bugs (there are all kinds of them) are often left on the floor. I am not looking forward to the day that the boys realize it might be funny to purposefully leave one out for Mommy to find.
