Country sleep overs




Caitlyn had her friend, Saralyn, spend the night. At first glance, it seems like a normal thing. They all had dinner. They watched a movie. They went to bed. They giggled and whispered for about an hour. They fell asleep.
It is in the morning that is becomes apparent that mine is not a normal household.
Up early to get dressed, eat smoothies and do chores. Which means, feed chickens and ducks. Move ducks from pen. Feed horses.
Ok, not to bad. They come back inside for pancakes (and to shout my own virtues, I put chocolate chips and reeses pieces in them!).
Then they played for a bit. And then........I had them clean out the barn. They scooped, the wheelbarrowed, they shoveled.
But the reward? See for yourself!
