my messy life

When people say, "my life's a mess" they usually don't mean that they are constantly picking up messes in their home. Well, that's what I mean when I say that my life is one big mess...after another....and another...and another....and another...and another.....






This was a lil mess left by a peanut loving, football watching daddy....

When not making messes, they are.....



How much do I love this pup (who's not so much a pup at 12 years old....),
let me count the ways.....


Since harvest has been in full swing, I have also been busy harvesting, cooking, freezing and canning....

This was a HUGE gourd -- and I'm not sure this picture emphasizes how big the gourd is, or how big these two have grown this summer....


It was very difficult for Soren to pick. It took him a while to get it off.



Our first lil punkin.


I canned 14 jars of yellow and red tomatoes.


Our very first fruit from our orchard!! And oooohhhh were they yummy.


My girl's first professional haircut...her school pics are this week....

Which reminds me of another first haircut from Nana this past summer...not so professional...but still darn cute!

There goes the baby mullet....



Bye bye white trash mullet boy, hello handsome!!!!


This picture captures a bit of a glimpse into my world: the CONSTANT love and playfulness a big sis has with her lil bros and one of the four joyful faces I have the privilege of seeing every day -- completely blurring out the messes in the background.

Ok, enough "me time"...I'm off to clean up another mess........
