Well, It’s Monday morning….how’s it treating you?
It’s raining here and Siah is sleeping and I’m still in my jammies and I need to clean, clean, CLEAN my house.
This has got to be one of the grossest things EVER! And yet the girls scarf this down like it’s candy. BLECH!
Here it is…..a Peanut Butter, Honey and Egg Salad Sandwich….doesn’t that sound delicious?
And…..I figure that with the Internet being a place filled with beauty, that I should do my part to balance that beauty out, and so here is me trying to do my part to balance the world out….’cause everyone loves to look at bad pictures of other people….it just makes you feel so darn good about your own self, doesn’t it.
This is me feeding ‘Siah on a Saturday morning about 2 weeks ago, and Xandra got a little picture happy. I’ll admit….this is the better of the bad ones…yes, there were worse ones….I know that’s hard to believe, but alas….it’s true.
and yes…that’s a giant fake cigarette in ‘Siah’s hand, because we’re teaching him the finer things in life….and we’re starting early.
This next picture was Jeremy and Xandra’s attempt at an ART ATTACK. Click on that link…you know you want to…it’s AWESOME!!!!
Actually, it is an unbelievable place to get craft ideas to do. The guy makes these GIANT art attacks where he uses all sorts of other items to create a HUGE picture on the ground and then you can see it from WAY UP HIGH and it looks so cool.
Anyway, the kids used a bunch of plants from our yard and other flowers that they stole from other people’s yards and for which they got in serious trouble and then laid this out. It’s picture of a garden made out of plants….cute, eh? I was going to take a picture from the second level of our house, but never got around to it, and then I found this picture on the camera. Again, with Xandra going a little picture happy….not like I needed 40 pictures of this particular creation….
She also took this shot of the crochetted quilt that I’m working on….I’m getting closer and closer to finishing it.
It’s going to look a little different than it looks in that picture but for my first granny square quilt….it’ll be okay. It’ll work, and at this point, that’s all I care about.
I was going to take a video of the rain that was pouring down right now, but then figured that would be stupid and so I’d just tell you that it’s POURING RAIN over here….and I wonder how my teensy, tiny little veggies in the garden are doing. They’ve just started growing and I can’t wait to make a delicious salad or even a green smoothie out of my homegrown veggies.
So, I was going to take a stupid video of the stupid rain, and that reminded reminded me of one day last week when I was up with ‘Siah at 4am, and I almost took a video of the darkness out in my back yard.
We have a greenspace behind our house, and even though it was barely light out, the birds were going to town. It was so amazing sounding, and they were SO LOUD. But, I was WAY TOO TIRED and hoping desperately that ‘Siah would settle down and actually drift off to sleep instead of just singing and cooing himself half asleep.
When he finally went to sleep, I crawled back in bed and put the pillows over my head and CRASH….I was gone.
When I woke it, it was all gone too. Oh well! I’m sure there will be another early, early morning sometime soon….not fun!
Alright, post is finished, baby is still sleeping, Jon’s trainee has just arrived and I need to go and get dressed and tidy the house ASAP!
Siah looks really cute!!!!
Like the garden the kids made. The picture is really cute What a beautiful baby. Saw apart od a program on T.L.C ayoung couple who had twins girls and then decided one more might be nice Hoping for a boy I think,but when they arrived they had threeboysI think and three girls(maybe it was two boys and four girls. ) They had a home business and people would email them asking all sorts of questions.Not sure what their business was. And mostly they did it after the kids were all in bed. I trhink it was an hour show but I had to get busy after half an hour. Hope you have a good sleep. Love Grandma
jon and Kate plus 8?
I love the look of your granny square quilt. I’ve never seen a pattern like that before. Did you design that yourself or where did you find it? I would love to add that to one of my many ongoing afghans made of various designed squares.
Have you finished your afghan – I would love to see it and possibly purchase the pattern. Looks beautiful!
Thanks,
Sylvia
That is a loveley square and i am sure that you will enjoy that when you get it finished. Where did you find the patter for the square? is it a hard square to make.
very nice looking
