a little less slumpy

I'm not quite as much of a "slumpy" (thanks, sister-in-law Angela for that great name) this week.
It probably has something to do with finding a babysitter, venturing off the farm for a few hours, and spending some fun time at the new Italian restaurant in Aberdeen for my mom's birthday celebration on Saturday.  I also had a group of fun ladies over yesterday afternoon for a Clever Container party.  Ahh . . . it's amazing what some real conversation with adult humans can do for a mama! 

The kids and I went outside this evening after school.  Rachel was not impressed with the snow impeding her ability to walk.  She would much rather be toddling around the house in her squeaky-soled shoes!
After finding mamas for all but two calves, we picked up another new baby yesterday.  Miss Moo is called a "baldy" calf because of her white face.  So, if someone ever asks you what cows that have white faces are called, you are now ready to impress them with your knowledge of cattle. :o) 
Here's to a less slumpy week!
