The untold story

Because the kids got into trouble for one too many fights during the day   were so willing to help around the farm, they were reluctantly and very slowly  carefully searching the yard and picking dandelions,........ 

...meanwhile, their father snoozed the afternoon away carefully supervised them...... 

from the shady spot in the hammock under the trees.

Because the kids were constantly engaged in petty arguements the rest of the day full of energy, they volunteered were ordered to walk all the way to the creek.

One more arguement and they would have been making the trip holding hands.  That is one of my FAVORITE ways to punish them when they bicker....make them hold hands.

Once at the creek, everyone's mood lifted and we had a very wet pleasant afternoon playing in the creek.

John just hangin' around.
