There is a local farm here, who has done a great job catering to the wants of the community. Schnepf Farms is a small farm that produces large amounts of income by attracting the public masses. Every year during the fall, they have a huge festival with train rides, pig races, small scale carnival equipment, and, of course, a pumpkin patch.
I shouldn't have been surprised to read of their latest entreprenurial attraction. They are now offering a morning of irrigating, weeding, and harvesting for ages 5 and up. For only $20, our kids could experience the pure pleasure of pulling weeds...when I was a kid, I got paid for doing just that!Now, this next part doesn't really have anything to do with Schnepf farms, but I had to share. The other night Walker was not sleeping at all! It was midnight and he was screaming bloody murder. I think he might have had a nightmare, and he was fitfully sobbing. I, being tired and lazy, decided to just bring him into our bed to snuggle for a little while (at least, then I could pretend to be asleep!)
Is he not the cutest little guy--even with food all over his face!He calmed down fairly quickly once in our bed, but he wouldn't go to sleep. I was so exhausted that I was in and out of sleep even with a tossing, kicking child next to me. All of a sudden my 6th sense woke me up. Walker was right in my face watching me carefully. As soon as I opened my sleepy eyeballs, Walker leaned over and gave me the sweetest kiss on my cheek. Then he snuggled down next to me. He did this a couple more times before finally falling asleep. He was so cute and sweet about it that all irritation with him was eliminated!
- One more randmon note: Today we went to Remington's school to watch him do some stuff. I thought that Indi and Walker would be so excited to watch and cheer for Rem, so I brought everybody. Well, it didn't exactly work out that way. Walker wanted to be right next to Remington, and when he couldn't, he just sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. He sat on the grass next to me and cried, "Rembah-ha-ha! I want Rembah-ha-ha!" No matter what Indi or I did, he wouldn't be pacified. Finally, during a break, Remington ran over and gave him a hug. Walker was so happy until he left again, and then the crying continued! I am glad he loves his brother so much!
