Austin the Hunter? or the Fashion Designer???!!!

Happy Thursday, Everyone!

So, tonight has been relatively peaceful in our house...the kids have been playing back in their bedrooms and I haven't heard any yelling, so all must be well, right? Well, I decide to listen what they are saying to each other and I hear the following exchange:

Austin: Ok, Kayla, let's take those off (uh oh...that can't be good!)

Kayla: Ok, Bubba

Austin: Kayla, step in. KAYLA, STEP IN

Kayla: Ok, Bubba

A few minutes later, Kayla walks out of the bedroom dressed like this...

Austin was QUITE PROUD of his creation!

He told me that she was a princess who just had a baby. They are continuing to play in her room, she's still in the leotard with the tutu, the yellow high heels and the necklace. I think I just heard something about her having three twins...OH, LORD!

Austin and Joe went to Joe's mom's this weekend for his "first hunting trip." Duck season ends soon, and Austin has been wanting to go all season. For those of you who don't know, duck season around her this year has been pretty scarce because of the relatively mild temperatures. Joe's mom has a pond down behind her house that they hunt at sometimes. Well, Sunday morning, Joe and Austin went down to the pond to hunt. Not sure how many times Joe fired the gun (he probably wouldn't tell me anyway, since he didn't come home with much!), but Austin came home with A DUCK!!!



He was so excited about it and I know he can't wait to shoot his own duck. Joe was quite proud as well that Austin was wanting to "play" with it. The "treat" came later that night when he requested that they eat "fried duck" for dinner! Joe obliged and said it actually wasn't too bad (unfortunately, I wasn't here to try it!)

While Joe and Austin were out of town, Kayla and I stayed here to have a "girl's weekend." Unfortunately, Kayla was pretty sick all weekend, so we just stayed around the house. Towards the end of the weekend, she was obviously feeling better, and I walked into the living room as she was reading to her babies. I think they were all enjoying it!

I hope you're all having a great week. The playing still seems to be going well, although I just heard a very frustrated "NO, Bubba's not done!!" We'll see how long this lasts! I also keep hearing the sound of toys being pulled out of toy boxes...I wonder who's going to clean that up?!
