Back to school week

and it's going well so far.... busy yet nice and boys are still happy.

It's been a while

I can't believe how time flies. Yes it's been 3 weeks since I posted here. What have we been up to? Basketball, work, drum lessons, work, scrapping escape, work, dinner, work, cleaning, work, reunion, work, family, work, swimming, work.... ;)

Covert Action

It's time for some covert action in order to try to find the dog's chew toy - now known as the secret camera disguised as a dog toy ;) Mission was successful!

Basketball...

giving it a shot - seeing if it's something the boys are going to get into. Whatever happens they had fun.

Checked out a lily farm

they had some really unusual ones that we will have to think about adding to our collection next year - seriously, this one was as big as Aaron's hand!!

Sunday ShutterBugs N - Nature and Noun

Took me longer than expected to come up with a nature shot but here's a pic of my cucumbers coming along and a beautiful flower.....

Nice fish

how's this for a nice catch? I think Monday will make the third trip to this lovely spot for the men in my world. Who can blame them?

Nothing like a good campfire...

to soothe the soul and make you chill a while. Can't wait to do it again, hoping for this weekend. Nothing big, just some moonpies and conversation.

Sunday Shutterbugs - M - moving and macro

Things were certainly moving quickly for this one ;) The macro shot is of the lilypad flower - notice the little bug on the lilypad?

Sunday ShutterBugs - L - light

I just love the lighting over the treetops - such a peaceful time of evening.

three weeks later...

and I'm finally posting again. Sorry world - life just got crazy! Here's a picture of how I've been feeling at work - long week!

Monday Madness

all I need to say is to look at the three previous posts - that tells you what I've been madly doing today ;)

SundayShutterbugs K - kitty

ok, almost caught up. This one was taken by my son since I had previously taken one. He loved it and did a pretty good job too.

SundayShutterbugs K - Kiss

We may not be jumpers but we are kissers - Had to take two photos - one willingly kissed, one not so willingly but much more fun ;)

SundayShutterbugs J - jump

Finally got one of the boys to jump for me. We're not a family of jumpers but it was fun anyway.

Where has it gone?

This weekend, last week???? I think I lost them..... Busy busy family...

Monday Madness -

Look what I found cuddled up to my sneakers when I got to work yesterday - good thing my hero was off and could come rescue me and take the bugger outside before it fully woke up. Creepy - you should see the teeth on those things. No wonder they make horror movies about them......

Gratitude

What better day than Sunday to post our gratitude:

Sunshine, Nathan being home, fishing, learning to clean fish, getting the porch swing up AND enjoying it, scrapping, movies, grilled food, family over for dinner, music, clean sheets, frogs croaking, birds singing, enjoying the sprinkles (from above and from a hose ;), smiles, good humor, togetherness.

Showoff Saturday ;)

That'd be a fun weekly addition wouldn't it? So here's today show offs.....
