Hunting, messes, teeth and soccer

So this week I have been a hunting widow. Cline LOVES, not likes, LOVES to bow hunt and this isn't his first hunting trip of the year and it won't be his last..... I talked to Cline tonight and he said that a bear had taken down the two quarters(two of four pieces) of the elk meat they put into a tree when they were unable to haul it all out yesterday. They found one quarter stashed behind a tree and the other gone, the bear ate it.

Hunter has really been missing his Daddy. While Cline was getting ready Hunter was really disturbed about the 4 wheeler going into the back of the truck because he wanted a ride. He climbed on and stayed until Cline left.

I promised the kids I would take them to"Old McDonald's" to eat while Cline was gone, something I haven't attempted without Cline before. The four kids and I did very well and I got Lily a chocolate chip cookie to eat on the way home.

Big mess!!!! I couldn't believe she did such damage on one little car ride home.

Abby has finally lost her other front tooth. She is genetically pre disposed to "late tooth fall out syndrome" All of her classmates lost teeth years ago. She looks cute and talks with a little lisp.
She also has trouble with corn on the cobb and apples. Abby also joined youth soccer this year and had her first game this week. It was fun to watch.
Abby is learning quickly and assisted with one of her teams goals. Cline signed her up and chose her team jersey size, as you can see she will be wearing it her whole soccer career.

I can totally relate to being a hunting widow. Michael has already been out, and has several more hunts scheduled between now and November. You are brave to venture out to McDonalds. I usually just order Pizza. It's too bad that the bear got the elk meat. It is fun to see your cute children. Gotta love the toothless grins and messy chocolate faces.
