It's ALL they want to do for fun!
We are up at crack 'o dawn.
Time to put our wellies on.
Wormies at the breakfast table?
Wretched manners!! I'm not able --
To control these hoolie guys.
"Fishing Fever's" in their eyes.
Jesse's in the car by 8:00.
"Hurry Mama! - I can't wait!"
Kevy says: "Let's go! Let's go!"
Mama's moving kind of slow.
Beds are unmade, hair's not brushed.
Eyes are bleary, feeling rushed.
(Here she is....Mrs. Alaska).
This is now my lot in life.
Fishing Mama. Fishing wife.
We are such a motley crew!
"Stylish" is NOT what we do...
Dirt and mud up to my thighs.
Now I look like all the guys.
Freezing fingers, chilly nose.
Tripped and fell -- now soaking toes!
Casting lines and skipping rocks.
Chillin' out, not watching clocks.
Finding pinecones, seeing nests.
Outdoor fun they love the best.
Finding frog's eggs - it's begun!
That's the sign that Spring HAS sprung!
Jesse kissed those froggies - EW!
Then he dared his Mama to.
I obliged, and Kev said: "SICK!"
"Now you're going to catch some ick!"
"Not to worry, Love." I smiled.
"He's for sure, his Mama's child."
Filthy, wild, and messy crew.
Crazy love is what we do.

Hooray! It's begun!!! Shawn and the girls have been out once on the boat before all this chaos...but they look forward to going again! Nothing caught...well, unless you count weeds and twigs! :-)
The men and kiddos must set up a fishing date this season!
