This is it. This is life lately. We are either in the ball fields or the hay fields. Tonight we left the baby with a friend, the oldest went to the field to bale with Dad while the two middles and I went to play t-ball. As soon as we were done, we rushed back to the field to help move equipment and get ready for tomorrow and then drive back to our friends' house to pick up the littlest one.
The kids went to bed 1.5 hours late. It is now 10:30 at night and I'm making cheese dip for my husband because he called and said it sounded good. I cannot help but oblige him after he works so hard for us.
These are the days. What a love/hate relationship I have with the land and the lifestyle. I know that these days are not fun for anyone involved - kids or parents, but hopefully it makes for some wonderful kiddos that understand WHY we do WHAT we do to help feed the world. Right now they seem to have an appreciation for agriculture and we hope that sticks with them throughout their lives. We hope they understand why there are only fleeting glimpses of Dad right now and why Mom makes the baby take most of her naps in the carseat these days.
In a few more weeks this will all be a memory. But right now, we are living in all sorts of fields of dreams.

Just like mama said... If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
