Kids in the Barn

The grandkids went home earlier in the week but I still want to share photos from their time here. Katie's visit was for almost three weeks and she agreed to spend some of the time painting the barn if she got help with the kids (that's me).IMG_7592                     I had planned to have the prep work done ahead of time, but I didn't to that so Katie spent the first day  power-washing. IMG_7597           Uncle Chris gives the best shoulder rides. IMG_7600                     The kids got plenty of exercise outside and definitely needed naps each day.IMG_7602               Before I got into the routine of putting Kasen down for his nap the carseat seemed to  be an easy way to get him to sleep. One lap with the carseat in the wagon and he was out.IMG_7606              Then it was time to go to the house with Kirby to work on a project. IMG_7607             She helped to warp the rigid heddle loom with a project in her favorite color.IMG_7615           Back to the barn after nap time.IMG_7614          Katie admitted that she got carried away with the power washer on the inside of the barn. It looked great because she and Meryl (DIL) moved all the clutter out of the alleyway. (I still have to figure out where to put all that stuff that was moved.)IMG_7618             The puddles were irresistible for Kasen.IMG_7627 IMG_7628

IMG_7631                  I asked for this green wagon for Christmas because I knew that I could use it during lambing season. It sure came in handy during this time with the kids here.  I found that I could even drag the wheelbarrow and the wagon at the same time. IMG_7637
