I Feel My Blog looks a Little Sad Lately

I feel that my blog has looked a little sad as of late. Mostly because the last several post have been only "words." My picture taking has dropped so low that this morning when I logged on to my computer, the computer, sent me an IM asking for pictures.

Okay that didn't really happen.

But it sounded like a good excuse to take some pictures.

So here is my fall update.

The tree leaves have all changed colors

And are now almost all fallen.

A. has been in quite a bit of trouble as of late. Which means his life has looked a lot like this for the last couple of weeks.

Before you feel to bad for him,

This one thinks raking leaves is fun and is always helping him out.

However, while helping he likes to remind A. that he doesn't have to help, he is just doing it to be nice, because he is nice and A. is in trouble.

Awesome!

While the boys raked leaves I sent Brent up to the roof to put up Christmas lights.

He LOVES that job.

While up there a neighbor came out and told Brent that he doesn't have to put Christmas lights up anymore. Due to the fact that he has gotten to fat.

I told Brent that his wife must be nicer then Brents. Being to fat to put up Christmas lights might suggest to me it was time to loose weight. Meaning, "Don't think you can eat so much Christmas goodies that you won't have to take the lights down."

I can not be outwitted.

Okay, obviously that isn't true but I sound tough right?

Great pictures. Brent looks so happy, I wonder if it is having to put Christmas lights up, or the fact that he knows his picture is going to end up on your blog. :)

I'm with you Krissi. So not an excuse not to put up Christmas lights! Christmas lights go up NO MATTER WHAT!
Love the hard working kids. Y'all are good. I'm impressed!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter. I can hardly believe that it says 30 days. I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter. Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked. That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock. I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me. By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know." I wanted them to see that I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on. One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out. It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby. Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement. A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby. It is that important! I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR. You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go. Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
