Early morning turkey hunt......

The turkey, that was ours, but got attacked by a dog and was dying. I don't want to hear any animal rights comments, k?

Very proud of herself. Notice the uncombed hair, sandals and pajamas!

Ah Nellie, she's a perfect mixture of tomboy and princess!

So, mornings around here are always pretty hectic. I get up at 4:30am to exercise with friends, and I am in the door by 6:00am. At 6:00am, I have to pry Brodey off the XBox, drag Nellie out of bed, DISCUSS the outfits and hair for the day ( Yes, we set out clothes the night before, but sometimes kids change their minds on what they want to wear ), force Brodey to eat his breakfast ( he could be playing XBox right now,) brush teeth, and handle Jax. All this by 7:00am....thats when some babysitting kids start coming over. Out the door to the bus by 7:10am. So, busy mornings just like everyone else.

On one morning, Aaron decides that we need to take one of our turkeys up to the mountain to shoot it, because it was attacked by a dog and is sick and dying. Could we do it after school?? NO. Right now, has to be done. So, Nellie wants to go shoot it. I'm like....no way...don't have time...she'll be dirty. But I didn't win this fight. She got it in 3 shots with my .22. Home at 7:15 am.....threw my schedule off and I don't like that. She barely made it to school on time. Anyways, she is so proud that she shot it all by herself in 3 shots.
