Wednesday

I am still playing catch up with pictures

so this is really random stuff here

we are fully into school

and I'm a bad mom

I did not take 

1st day of school pictures

I took pictures of a bowl full of peaches instead

they were so yummy!

 she keep stealing them as I was canning/freezing them

I can't blame her
she was taught by example
I was eating them too!
Maybe I'll fake it the first day of school pictures and do a 6 weeks into school picture!

Napping in the toy closet?

This mess was caused by the purchase of a new crockpot

I had to replace the crockpot I took to college?
Go figure those things apparently only last 20 years
so I did a major overhaul of my kitchen
clearing out A LOT!
even wedding presents I'd never used
now everything is happy and organized

 I even reduced my cookbooks by half!

I love cookbooks!

so now my kitchen is reorganized and no one can find anything
but
it looks pretty!
while I was organizing 
Ms. Grace was having herself a little tea party!

In other news

this boy is HAPPY

Soccer is back 

and yes

he is dripping with sweat through out every game

but so far the "Tsunami Ducks" are killing everybody!

Eric is coaching again
and he loves it!

 Tyler and Grace cuddling during a game

and...

I made Napoleons

 with chocolate if you like

they were amazing!

so grateful for a husband that can fix my washing machine door
the hinge was $135.00 
hate to think how much they would have charged to put it in 

besides
she got to help daddy

 way better than a mechanic!

one more random picture
I love her hand in her pocket
I wish I'd gotten her eyes
but 
oh well!

OK that's another happy post!
off to clean something!
