day 137

September 30



The worst thing in King Caleb's life is a haircut.
I so wish I could say the same.

day 136

September 29



I love this girl... missing teeth and all

day 135

September 28



Pushing rolling objects around the floor all day is very serious business.

day 134

Let this day be marked...



It was piano for hailey today.. and I remembered!

day 133

September 26




I just love Hailey's pictures. The girls needs her own camera.

day 132

September 25

Boys. Smelly, messy, rowdy,




and oh so much fun.
I have decided to love them.

For like, ever.

The days harvest




And I promise this will be the last tomato related picture....

i think.

day 130

too much of a cute thing?



I think not...

day 129

I know you want him,





but you can't have him.

day 128

September 21

I have memories of being little and climbing massive trees.
Now I will have memories of these two climbing massive trees.
full circle.

day 127

September 20

If you are ever missing a small army of children don't forget:





look in the bath tub.

day 126

September 19



This rocking chair has seen so many babies and been so many colors.
my mother rocked me in it,
I rocked my babies in it,
and I had hoped to see my children rock their babies in it.

But with Caleb around, no one is planning on ANYTHING.

day 125

September 18

It is that time of year.



You know the time where you buy way too much halloween candy way to early and end up eating it all yourself?

Oh wait, is that just me?

day 124

September 17



Yep, he's reached that age.

There is no need to say more.

day 123

September 16

If I was artistic and titled pictures I would call this one the lonesome swings.



These guys are used to lots of love but are lonely this morning with everyone in school. That loneliness will be cured when 3:00 rolls around, so don't go feeling all sorry for them.

day 122

September 15




Just a little salt and pepper, that's all you need.
At the beginning of the planting season, I thought I was half crazy when we planted NINE tomato plants. But, these babies are going as fast as we pick them so far, so I think I am safe to add this to my list of proof that I am brilliant.

day 121

September 14. 2010

All this in one load of laundry.



I guess it would be wise to start checking the pockets more diligently.
I will add that on my to do list.

day 120

September 13, 2010

We are drowning in silly bands.

They are found in the washer, on the bathroom floor, in the vacuum, in between couch cushions, and yes, even tangled in the sheets of my bed.

And sometimes on the arms of my children,



dangerously close to cutting off their circulation.

day 119

September 12

Sunday is game day.



Clue is a family favorite.

I never win.

day 118

September 11, 2010

Have you ever watched an episode of icarly?
Actually, it would be better to ask, have you ever missed an episode of icarly?
We sure haven't.



icarly is a family event for us. Tonight we watched the latest (all new!) icarly in our pj's on a Saturday night.
We are so cool like that.

day 117

September 10, 2010



The boy in the window.

I am sure that is what the neighbors know him as.
At 3:00pm he can be found here, everyday, anxiously awaiting the arrival of his loyal worshipers, in other words, his brother and sister.

Oh, and p.s. I am aware that those windows are in desperate need of a washing.

day 116

September 9, 2010

I'm baaaack... four and a half months later!

Things changed in the time I have been away.
Like the king of our home Caleb, was de-throned by



him.

And this tiny king is a tyrant, let me tell you.
