Itty bitty Corn!

The hybrid corn was weird considering it grew half the size a traditional stock would grow and the corn is small. The regular stock corn only produced one decent size piece shown on the far left. Not sure if its because I used organic fertalizers or what but it sure was fun watching them grow! Now we get to let them dry out and bundle them for October!

TWO DOGS DINING

Half Way Done

20 weeks and we are officially half way done! Gender scan is coming quick this coming Monday. I have been walking daily and have still only gained a total of 29lbs. Baby is very active and moving throughout the day now.

I love fresh fruit and smoothies and strawberries and Nate keeps asking, ''when is that baby gonna be here'' HAHA If will be nice to know what it is so we can call it by its name or sister/brother.

The baby room is half way done and mentally complete. Just waiting on that final color.

Hubby is leaving alot sooner then we expected and is having is mini vacation time at the end of this week for a few days.

The Hunt

Yesterday morning as usual I let Tex out at 6am. He ran after something and trapped it under the swing set slide. I kept calling him because I figured it was a field mouse. He comes walking towereds me with these huge wings hanging out of his mouth. As he was insisting that he bring it in the house I had to open his mouth to get him to drop it and this HUGE cicada came flying out!!! It freaked me out!!

This morning he was on the hunt again looking for more of these crazy bugs in the grass where he found the first one.

I wont be walking bare foot in that grass!

Tex & The Sucker

Calamari

Nate asked me this morning if I could make Calimari for him like he had at the beach. I have never made it but I have seen a box of Cali at the store. I did not realize they were full squids that had not been cleaned yet. It was interested to say the least but Nate was so excited he wanted to see the beak of a squid but I could not see them so I told him to go ask Jamie and Jamie said they might take them out??

I went with a basic recipe I found online which was just flower, salt, and pepper. We were all VERY dissapointed. :( They tasted like flower and had a rubbery texture donut shape. Going back online to do some research there are many more types of seasoning you can use like paprika and bread crumbs. So we will have to try it again....

Tex

Tex was chasing Nate through the house with a pig ear roll in his mouth. Jamie and Nate keep calling him Hoss but it took awhile for us to not call Ashes Sylas HA!
Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.
