Busy Week

I had a busy week..as I am sure most of you have. I sure know my friend Anna did. =) We went to visit my parents and my sister at my sister's house on Saturday. Spent a lot of time inside due to the rain, but the children handled it pretty well. I think Aunt S just about had a breakdown though...she is a clean freak and they kept making messes. :) (Wish I would have gotten that gene) Anyway, Hubby started to put my clothesline in the ground the day Big T got sick and we didn't have weather conducive to finishing the project until this week. He was able to put them in on Monday and I got to use them on Tuesday. Isn't it a beautiful sight?! =)
After tackling that Big T and I decided to wash the car on Tuesday. He was a big help. Now all we have to do is get it put in the paper. (Note to self- should contact the paper today or tomorrow) Hopefully we can get it sold to get money back into savings. Anyway....it was a lot of fun having him helped (The other two were sleeping at the time). Here are a few pictures that I just wanted to share of Big T, Sweet E, and some flowers.




We have all sorts of plants popping up around the house and the yard. Problem is that since I wasn't the one to plant....I am not sure what are weeds and what is not sometimes. So I am having to let them grow until I can figure out if it is a "weed" or not. Yesterday I had a very busy afternoon. While Sweet E and Little E were sleeping I went out and dug out two spots for our raised bed gardens (Soon to be gardens) Took a long time since there are a lot of rocks in the yard and I had two children inside I needed to check on, but I finally got it done. Now I just need to get the posts from my BIL to make the frames and then Hubby and I need to go to the farm to get fill dirt for them. A lot of work, but it will be well worth it. Mrs. M is going to provide me with some Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes (which are awesome) and I hope to have some lettuce and such. Not sure of anything else right now. This year is not going to be as big of a production as last year. (Last year I had a 50x50 foot garden!) So here is a picture of the spaces I dug out. Exciting I know. ;)
In this picture you can't see all the sod I dug up because my wonderful Hubby took that sod and "transplanted" it to other location in the yard that were bare. I sure hope they take. Well, thank you for looking and may the Lord Bless you today!

Looks like you have gotten a lot of things accomplished. I LOVE using my clothsline. I just put more cloths out this morning. :) And have another load almost ready to go out.

Your garden is coming along nicely. I, for one, can tell you that digging out sod like that is a LOT or work. (because I just did that last week. ;) ) I can't wait to see everything you plant.

Melanie, the garden spots look lovely. I love to see fresh places to plant things. What sort of poles are you going to use?

What is that pink flower you have a picture of?

My BIL has some left over fence posts that I can use...that is what Hubby tells me. Not sure what they are like. As for the flower...no idea. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe I need you to come over some day and help me identify things. =)

Show and Tell Friday (7/20)

Image
Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Illness and Ouchies

Image
Well...we have had an interesting start to our week. In the early hours of Monday morning Sweet E woke up 2 different times and had thrown up in her bed. She seemed perfectly fine and I took her to a local store. We were inside for maybe 2 minutes and she threw up again. So....I got her home and let her take a nice LONG bath. Then we didn't have any problems the rest of the day. Today....she didn't seem quiet like herself, but no big deal. Them about 7:45 this evening she threw up again. But now she is running around like it never happened. Both boys appear to be fine. Now...here is were the Ouchies come in. On Monday afternoon when Sweet E was sleeping, Little E fell onto something. It took the top layer of the skin on his lip off and cut his gums. I still don't know what happened exactly. He had a pretty big lip for the rest of the day. The swelling is barely even noticeable today. So..how is everyone else's week going? ;)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
