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 :)

More pictures to add...

Yeah, I know I'm WAY behind. What else is new. I hate uploading these pictures because my computer acts funny when I'm trying to. I will catch up soon I promise. :)

These are from July....hush! I KNOW!

David, Leah, Oliver, Luke and Ethan...all born in '07

Noah, very excited to see R2D2 at the Belmont Parade!

Ethan

Kara and her sweet girlfriends!

Twins? NAHHH! Still cute, though in their matching suits!

Trivia

Just wanted to see if anyone is able to answer this one. I'm SURE if you're late 20's and older you MIGHT know.

Ok, if you look at my side bar on the right, pause the song playing in my pink playlist. Then, go to the top where it says video bar and click on the top video. A video will open and you will have the option to close it by clicking "i'm done watching this".

Now that you're watching the video, see if you can name the gentleman in the whacky jacket playing the bass guitar. I had forgotten he played with them! NO looking it up, try to guess by looking at him! DON'T LOOK AT THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU GUESS, the answer might be there!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm an 80's music geek, leave me alone and play along!! Have a great day. P.S. This song was released in 1986!! ENJOY THE SONG!! :)
