Don't we all look "farmy" in our plaid flannels?
I'm married with four kids, living in North America. These are little thoughts from my life.

Meow
The other day my son and I walked out to feed the horses. We were pitching hay under the fence when our tom cat came wandering over to check things out. Kernal (the cat) jumped up on the hay bale and MEOWED for some attention. This cat has a LOUD, l--o--n--g, and rather sorrowful attention getting meow. I petted Kernal for a while, but it must not have been enough, because as we were walking away, he was MEOWING loudly, probably attempting to call us back to give him some more TLC.
Anyway, as we were walking away, my son looked up at me and stated, "Mom, we forgot to turn that cat off."
On/Off buttons for a cat - that would be great!

Update
A few things happened today:
1. We are done with harvest. Yeah!
2. Some guys came and cut a hole in the cement/rock wall of our basement with a really powerful saw.
3. My daughter tinkled on the potty. She finds boxelder bugs and puts them in the potty and thinks it is really exciting to tinkle on them. I think it's exciting that she is tinkling in the potty.
4. I did three huge loads of laundry.
5. My daughter changed clothes 3 times.
6. My husband demolished an old shed and hauled it away.
7. My son changed clothes 2 times.
8. I got a check in the mail. Very exciting.
9. I made poppy seed muffins. Mmmmmm.

Last Field
My husband is combining our very last field; a sunflower field a few miles from our house. He won't finish it today, though, and harvest won't be over until that field is done, but we are very close to Officially Done With Harvest Status. I look forward to ODWHS every year. My husband will still be busy with various tasks: cleaning up and putting machinery away, board meetings, hauling grain, machinery maintenance, etc, but his hours are so much nicer when we reach ODWHS. It's also nice to pay off the operating loan for the year!

Climber
My daughter gets a pacifier when she is going to be sleeping or traveling. Sometimes she's not too happy with that arrangement and wants one more often.
My daughter's pacifiers are kept in a glass rose bowl on top of the microwave. They used to be kept on the counter top, but they were moved up when she figured out how to get to them. It didn't take long for her to problem-solve her way to pacifier access once again.
Backhoe
Another round of home improvements has just begun (and will hopefully continue promptly).
We are putting an egress window in our basement so we can someday have a bedroom down there. The guys (my husband and a friend) dug the hole yesterday so the people can cut a hole in the cement for the new window. They had quite a cheering section. Our friend's two boys and our two kids were quite impressed with the backhoe, even more impressed with the BIG hole, and totally enthralled with the new "hill" of dirt to slide down.
