BEAUTIFUL EARTH

Somehow I managed to snap a few good shots this Autumn.

Here are 2 of our yard during the day...


Don't ask, I don't know why, but
at the END of September, in the
middle of our BRUSH pile,
we found this treat...

We did NOT plant these!


Same area of the yard, taken
at different times of day...

Lovely Mess (REALLY!)

As promised (2 weeks ago!): I'm thankful for a basement playroom:


All of this is in the basement too!



The bathroom window...someone was bored, waiting for help with brushing their teeth :)


There were 2 other hampers upstairs in the kids' rooms and I'M SURE stuff all over the bathroom floor at this time. I didn't get any photos of the dishes piled up in both sinks but that's ok. I'm sure you've enjoyed a sink of dishes where you could NOT see your sink!

All I know is that I'm grateful for: 1)Clothes to wear, even if they are dirty 2)Dishes in the sink. It means we had food to eat. 3)Fingerprints and drawings on windows and scattered toys. It means I have CUTE little children to share life with :)

Update...

Well, I did what I said I would and WHOA! I have pictures I will post later when I have time to get them off the camera and get them uploaded. It was not so bad, leaving everything to be done later. The only time it was, was this morning when I realized I didn't have anything for ME to wear. YIKES! Maybe some P.J.'s but that would not be cool :)

So anyway, I'm now on the 4th load of about 10 or 11 loads...that's not counting bedding. The kids are home today from school for teacher workshops so I am quitting after I have something dry for me to wear and then we're all going out with Daddy! I will put the pictures up sometime soon.....

I'M GOING TO TRY...

TO FORGET THE FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER EVERY SURFACE, THE TOYS ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND THE PILES AND PILES OF LAUNDRY!

This is going to be my goal for the week! Can't wait to see what my house looks like, but at least my kids will get more of my time, right? ;) Thank-you to President Monson for his words of advice. Once again, General Conference was FABULOUS! What a great deal of gratitude I owe my Heavenly Father for the guidance and inspiration received this weekend. Glad I watched :)
