goodbye football season 09

From hot & sweaty games to cold & icy games...football is over for this year. I have to say that I'm excited. I get to see my husband, Coach Josh, more often. No more chasing after my little critters on the sidelines. The boys can come home from school & not be rushed to practice. Breathe! I know basketball is just around the corner & B wants to play this year. It will be just like baseball with 3 boys on 3 different teams...pure craziness!

I love the off-season!

another pet

It's a cricket! B sure loves him/her? Checkerds is its name, not Checkers, Checkerds. It resides on top of B's bunkbed. B caught Mr./Ms. Cricket last week. It's still alive & kicking.

Happy Fall Ya'll

Sunday afternoon with E

E is an artist. The floor, walls... goodness, the whole house is her canvas!

She is just like her Dad. The ideas flow better when the hat is in place.

Get that pretty flower out of my hair! I don't see my brothers wearing those!

what's important

Remembering on 9/11

a large clock

One of my favorite blogs has a DIY (do it yourself) day on Thursdays. Those of you who know me, know that I love to buy things from 2nd-hand stores & repurpose those things. Thank you, Kimba, at A Soft Place to Land for providing me the opportunity to share my projects.

Sorry, I don't have a before pic. I found this large solid square frame fitted with an ugly landscape pic. I knew that the frame had potential. I ended up spray-painting the frame & the pic, added some clock parts and a ribbon with a white rose topiary top which I pulled off of another 2nd-hand-store find. I knew that frame was meant to be something greater!!!

real clogging

Another week of fine footwork from an ol' college dancing buddy, go Shaundalee!!!!!!

I have to post this one again, because I love it!
