Farm Fairies Report.......

Life is pretty wild here right now the Halleyville Ranch Boot Camp for Girls is not what I thought it would be... Better in some ways and harder than others...Learning to say no to two tired girls is harder than I thought...I am considered a hard ass, but if asked the girls they would not say that. This farm fairy has a way of making the worst jobs on the earth pretty fun...cleaning the horse area can turn into a huge pooh fight in just a few seconds and whammmm the pooh is out and we are onto the nest thing. I am letting the girls sleep in a few minutes to write this because once they are up we are going and the day seems to be gone without a doubt. I miss you all tons and we are all fine. Here is a list of things we have gotten done. We go do laundry every three days and hang the clothes on the laundry line...nothing like the sheets fresh off of it....We have had guest for supper and the girls are learning to good hosts...

To hear the girls talk you would know it is all in a days work...they WANT to spend the rest of the summer here and they realize that you just ( getter done ) if you get hurt you ( shake it off, no blood your not done) and ranch on up!!!!

6 cats
4 bunnies
7 chickens

i can say hi too

wanna know why i said that for my title? well me and farm pixie were in the kitchen and major cutie walked in and i said ohla. then farm pixie said is that all u can say and i laughed and said no i can say hi too. then major cutie had laughed and then left. today we were with the alpackas and had the best water fight. major cutie was sittin on the side lines as us girlies screamed and attacked each other. farm pixie got soaked from head to toe. she had a white tank top and it was funny. this seemed to draw major cutie's attention and he smiled at her. they r soooo cute. we have had many fun farm fights here on the farm and all of which involves water,manore, and dirt. farm pixie had chucked horse poop at my head and i went to put poop down her shirt and pants but major cutie was watchin and she was beggin 4 me not to so i was nice and didnt. i got so close though. i found mercy on my part 4 her. major cutie is soooooooooooo cute! i think he should be with farm pixie though. today farm pixie and i had been playin with the lime and i put it down my shirt and i jumped up and down. then it got stuck and it fell and it looked like i had layed an egg from the back. then farm pixie stole it and did the same. right now i am sittin on my butt and laughin at farm pixie cuz she is sooooo blonde! she is so wierd! but i luv her though.... i think.

i work so hard. we start at 5 and it is so tirein. i luv gettin up and laughin at the fact that we jump every time farm farie gets us up. if we have tails like cats they puff up. well i gotta go cuz im laughin sooooo hard.

sincerly,

ranch giggler

a little taste of farm life

so far it is soooo much fun here. i have been able to learn many things like how to run from a tracter before it crushes me. funny huh? we get up at around 5 and farm fariy bangs on the door for us girls to get up. its a little startling at first but we start laughin sum times after word. i can move an 18 foot piece of wood and carry a 90 pound bail of feed out of the barn. even the guys were a little surprised at that. they thought i was week but ive toughened up since i got here. i luv hangin out here and i've even made a friend. she is so histarical! we have fun staring at the boyz and laughin when wee should be in bed. so far i have been good and farm fairy is treatin me like an adult. i feel so grown up. i am tired every day when we finish chores. its a good tired though. ive gotten a really bad sunburn but u dont hear me complainin all that much. i know that ill be fine and all i have to do is tough it out. i am havin the best time. i even got a 15 year old mexican dude givin me a high five. funny funny. well i also have another guy friend and he's ok to. us girls and my other friend went and had a water fight today and it was funny. sum how i ended up beein the only one wet. i was soaked head to toe. it was sooooo much fun. we also went to the pasture with the alpackas 2 days ago and the guy that was with us was so afraid that i thought he would pee his pants. funny.

mom-
im doin ok. u dont need to worry about me this much. im learnig how to take care of myself and others. i hope u guys have had fun and dont cry. as u can c its not that bad. i have had some great times and i had a few scew ups and i learned from that. i luv u all and miss u but will be home. luv ya!

luv
