365 - Week 19

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - Our lilac bush is in full bloom. I was a little worried about it after the late frost last spring. It smells great and the breeze has been blowing it into our living room.

Sunday - Happy Mother's Day!

Monday - The sunflower bed is almost ready thanks to the Handy Man and a rototiller. We have been putting the sprouts on the roof to get them ready for planting.

Tuesday - Don't let the smile fool you. It has been bark-a-palooza around here the last few days thanks to Sir Barks-alot. I've heard of the terrible twos but he's three... shouldn't he be behaving now???

Wednesday - This is how we roll.

Thursday - The little stretch of nice weather has really helped us get some things done in the back yard. Handy painted the garage wall and it looks great thanks to his air compressor and paint gun.

Friday - Me: 1 - Turkey: 0... This is a public service announcement for all wildlife: Don't run out in front of a car going 55 mph.

365 - Week 18

365 days = 356 photos

Saturday - Women of Faith was super fun. I was excited to hear Angie Smith talk. She did a great job, but perhaps should have come with a warning that everyone would need tissues.

Sunday - Happy Easter Clearance! We made ourselves an Easter basket from the half-price candy.

Monday - This garden wall showed up while I was away last weekend. It's amazing what a huge difference something like this can make. The flower beds look awesome. Now on to the new bed in the yard!

Tuesday - Shrimp asparagus alfredo. Yum!

Wednesday - Do you ever wonder what we do behind closed doors??? This is it! Show up unannounced and you will find us on the couch reading/using the computer/ watching tv.

Thursday - Happy Birthday Bevo!

Friday - We are the people our parent's warned us about... Why take a normal picture when you can have a gem like this one... ha!

365 - Week 17

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - We hadn't planned to make no bake cookies to take to Easter dinner but after an hour of trying to dip cake in melted chocolate resulted in overheated, grainy chocolate we gave up and went with something we knew would turn out. Lesson of the day: Don't make something new when you have to take it somewhere.

Sunday - Happy Easter!

Monday - We tried to dodge rain drops and work on getting the grass off the new flower bed in the back yard. Bevo did an excellent job of supervising.

Tuesday - My reading goal is looking less possible now than ever. Sudoku has become the evening activity of choice around red door. Rather than reading or knitting we have been solving these puzzles. I get excited when we go to the dollar store to get new books... Pathetic huh?

Wednesday - It wasn't raining today so we got back to work in the garden. We found this "grandpa worm" while pulling up the sod.

Thursday - I was super busy getting read to go out of town. Last minute errands, balancing the checkbook, doing laundry and packing my bag. The pup decided to watch from a safe location.

Friday - Handy picked up this piggy for our garden while I was out of town. He's going to look great out there with all the flowers. We are going to call him Yoder. It's a T-county thing.

365 - Week 16

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - The collection is growing. We added boots and foam shades which meant we had to get a tote to store it all in. The bright yellow office was being overtaken by black leather.

Sunday - The seeds are growing!!! I was super doubtful when they were planted but by some miracle they decided to grow. Now the challenge will be to keep them alive long enough to go in the garden... if it ever gets warm enough.

Monday - Spring break + Nice weather = Let's go outside. Bevo was happy to spend lots of time exploring the yard.

Tuesday - We had a birthday party for Sarah at small group. It ended up just being only 3 of us but it was the perfect excuse for some Litty's cake. Yummmmmm!

Wednesday - We took a trip to see baby Andrew. There have been lots of boys added to our family lately... I think it's time for some girls.

Thursday - We replaced those video rockers with this much nicer rocking chair. Now we just have to pick some fabric to re-upholster it with.

Friday - Easter weekend = hard boiled eggs. We didn't plan on cooking eggs but we needed to buy some anyway and I was hungry for egg salad. I thought about coloring them but the Handy Man didn't think that was a great idea.

365 - Week 15

356 days = 365 photos

Saturday - Lari modeled her new pup coat for us. It's so warm I wouldn't mind having a fleece coat like hers.

Sunday - Happy Birthday Motorcycle Mama!

Monday - After the super warm temperatures on Sunday the daffodils in the front yard bloomed on Monday. They make the flowerbed look so happy.

Tuesday - Happy Birthday Dr. Pepper Queen! We're glad you like your new shoes.

Wednesday - We went to the track meet Wednesday night. I had never been to a meet before. It would have been better if it wasn't so windy but it was still fun to see the kids race.

Thursday - Mmmmm, banana bread. I had been hungry for banana bread for over a week. We bought bananas at the Cheese and it took forever for them to get ripe enough to bake some bread. To make it even yummier I put chocolate chips in the mix.

Friday - Home made pizza! The spinach, mushroom, feta was way better than anything we could have bought from the frozen food section.

365 - Week 14

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - We saw the new NewPointe sign that was put up earlier in the week. It's so exciting to see this new campus finally have a permanent site.

Sunday - Quiet day at home with my favorite boys.

Monday - Hot water + dog = ouchy toes and never a dull moment.

Tuesday - BLT's for dinner... so yummy. The bacon smell hanging around for 2 days... not so great.

Wednesday - Mid-week trip to the Cheese for oatmeal and bread flour ended with a trip to the ice cream counter. Cookies and cream for Handy, Cherry vanilla custard for me.

Thursday - We moved around the back room. The pup box was making a dent in the carpet after 3 years of being in the same place. The video game chairs will be replaced with a rocking chair and the blue sofa is going to be swapped out for a futon as soon as we get a cushion.

Friday - I requested this book back in February and it finally came in at the Library. I'm super excited to read it. I'm usually not a non-fiction fan but I have heard great things about this book.

365 - Week 13

365 days = 365 photos

I can't believe I stuck with this for 3 months!

Saturday - Spring is here! Let's get grilling!

Sunday - Afternoon nap / Handy taking photos = short snooze. The shutter release is too loud to sleep through.

Monday - Look who made dinner!! It was pretty tasty too.

Tuesday - Small group was at Theo's house. They claim no one comes to visit them anymore. It's all about this little boy.

Wednesday - After 5 months with the poinsettia on the table we decided it should be relocated to the trash bin. It was never intended to survive that long in this house. Our new G bowl has taken it's place. Now we just need something to put in this bowl... maybe we should have kept that poinsettia???

Thursday - Taco Bell run = car ride for the B.

Friday - Family game night!
