eatin corn and getting excerise.

monday, july 5, 2010. after we picked the corn, we brought it back to g'ma erm's and she boiled it. we had super there. then after dessert, papa took the boys over to the stoller's house across the street. the boys got to play with the kiddos that they got to know last summer. g'ma and i cleaned up. then gave abraham a bath. he had yet another pee pee accident!!! (not sure what's going on with that) we gave abraham a bath. then it was time to hit the country roads to get the boys to fall asleep. it worked!
levi lost his lady bug, so aunt nicey tried to find another one when we got to g'ma's. no luck, but she did find lots of japanese beetles. levi didn't like them, but...
abraham did though.
a crazy cocooned worm that eats evergreens. the tree was covered in them. if you click on the picture to enlarge it you can see his head sticking out.
a railroad spike cross joshua made for g'ma. she had it "dipped" in white.
reading g'ma's books.

abe wrapped his drumstick on a napkin saying it was cold.

what we didn't eat. g'ma will use her electric knife to cut the corn off the cob.

before levi came back from the neighbors abe went crazy on the exercise equipment.
then levi came home and he joined in on the fun.

pickin' corn.

monday, july 5, 2010. we spent the day at grandma erm's house. denise came over and mentioned a farmer posted in the paper that he had free sweetcorn for the pickin'. so we packed up the boys and headed out with aunt denise. grandma stayed behind to make supper.
readin'.
the boys have to eat over the tile. levi's testing the limits.
eatin' peanut m&m's a g. g'ma erm's.
looking at all the family pictures.
levi belted himself in. we only had to drive about a 1/4 mile to get there.
abraham in nothing but undies. he had a pee pee accident. i didn't have an extra shirt and we put his extra shorts on when we got to the corn.
through the window you can see the sweet corn on the left and the field corn on the right. you don't want to eat field corn.
gettin' started.
papa found a big one.
an ear. you look for the tassels.
i found a ladybug for levi.
aunt denise and abraham.

aunt denise said the farmer said we could shuck them on the spot and leave the debris for compost.
abe's got one for the bag.
another ear.
walking through the rows.
levi lost the first lady bug, but luckily i found one in an ear the aunt denise pulled.
aunt denise!
levi and his lady bug. he passed him off to me so he could shuck corn though.
abraham shuckin' from the wrong end:)
levi's turn.

children of the corn.
the field is only this wide.
inspecting.
we filled the brown bag about 1/2 way.
the is a crazy fungus growing on an ear. so crazy.
