Sweet sisters and..

Sweet friends!

These pictures turned out great (thanks, Kacey!) but belie the chaos that is involved in herding four children 3 and under into a limited patch of flowers and away from the high way! The first patch we stopped at was sparser and near a road that, although it looked like a little-used side road, had trucks barreling down it. After chasing the littles around there, we loaded them up and sought bluer, safer fields. Unfortunately the best patches were on private property, but we saw a gate open at a ranch and drove in. A white pick-up was on its way out and I hopped out of the kiddie caravan and asked the driver if we could take pictures on his property. He seemed amused and kindly let us romp around, safely behind the ranch fence!

After our photo shoot, we enjoyed a delicious, but also somewhat chaotic lunch at Must Be Heaven in Brenham. At one point I made a potty run with the three girls. All three of the potty-trained persons used the toilet and I changed Elisabeth’s diaper while she was standing on the counter because she refused to lie down and also not bother the vintage ladies hats that were decorating the powder room! Another adventure, for sure!
