My little farmer

So seeding has officially began. Today we spent our first day of the season out at the farm. And Zander loved it, infact he didn't even come home with me!:) Finally at 8 o'clock I told him we had to leave (Madison was quite grumpy and needed to go to sleep) when Chris came in to say they were moving tractors and filling up for tomorrow and Zander pleaded with me to stay. So on went the coveralls again (over the freshly washed little boy and the pj's) and back out farming he went. I was lucky to get a quick hug and kiss before he was off happy as can be. I believe I have a mini Chris on my hands - HELP! Zander rode in the tractor today with Chris, which basically means that once he eats all of Chris' food he falls asleep in the tractor for a couple hours and wakes up happy as can be, and for anyone who knows Zander knows that he doesn't wake up well after a nap, but in the tractor he does (I guess I just need to drive a tractor every afternoon and then I'd be fine). So once I picked him up to feed him supper he informed me that "me and daddy were planting ketchup!" (they were actually planting mustarde but he got a little confused with the condiments, honest mistake and so cute)
Zander isnt' the only one who loves the farm. Little miss Madison was quite ticked that she wasn't allowed out of her carseat to go on the tractor with daddy. and then once we took supper to papa while she was trying to undo her straps to get out to the field to him! I think I have 2 farmers on my hands! The only thing Madison didn't like about the farm this time was Nixon. she was fine if she was looking out the window at him but as soon as she was outside and he came anywhere close she was screaming! (oh just in case anyone doesn't know Nixon is a chocolate lab, not a person!)
I have to admit though I myself am torn. Once we're at the farm everything seems so peaceful and the kids love it so much that I myself am lulled into loving it. It's the getting ready and making sure I have everything that's the pain in the butt. But I can understand the draw to farming, it's a nice lifestyle. I guess maybe God had a plan in mind when he was having me fall in love with a farmer:)
On a sadder note I am without camera. And for me that is a very scary, sad thing - I love my camera and am almost daily taking pictures. And I totally missed getting a picture of Zanders face when he was heading towards the tractor, skipping through the stuble, stuborn as can be, not letting Chris carry him. Memories!
