School Year, Week 1

 

First day of school photo from the college kid.  

Walking the middle schooler's schedule before school starts.

I have been temporarily promoted at work.  The new job tasks include prepping things like muffin batter for 1000.   Ironically, I applied for this job and didn't get it.  End date I was told was probably the end of September, but I might have been eavesdropping and heard it could be longer.  Who knew working five hours instead of three would be so much more work!   

Clouds over track practice yesterday afternoon.  

It has been... a week, I'm exhausted, forgot to take my allergy pill last night (I wondered why I couldn't fall asleep) and have not done anything except work, sleep, and mom this week.  I'd say TGIF but this weekend has plans in it.  

Is it June yet?

On the Last Day of Summer Vacation...

 Well, technically it's Tuesday, but I have a mandatory work meeting/potluck tomorrow.

Life recently.  In random order.  

Playing The Bloody Inn with the family.  I don't know why this is in black and white.  We have been rewatching Fraiser and I know it's the Nightmare Inn on the show, but it's The Bloody Inn in the game and my head.  

Recent trip to our local park/polluted lake.  Yum!

The lake.

The husband has had this bag since before we met.  All the zippers finally kicked the bucket.  Good bye ugly bag. 

My recent inability to read recipes, the ingredients labels on packages, and page numbers is old age, not my far-sightedness according to my new eye doctor.  I'm getting new glasses.  This is me messing around online with an app, I actually ordered them from my doctor's office, they just aren't here yet.  

Come on tomatoes, turn red already!

The stupid TV keeps restricting my access to watch perfectly family friendly shows.  Grrr.  Anyone know how to make it stop?  Factory resetting the TV did not work.  The downstairs TV is fine, it's only the upstairs one that's stupid.

The oldest, all packed for college.  The rental car was a Toyota (usually we end up with a Nissan Rogue) which the husband is in love with.  

Giant elephant ear at the fair. 

Monster trucks at the fair.

The kitten sisters reached two pounds and were adopted (not together ) We are currently kitten-less.  

No caption needed.

En gaaaaaarde!  

We went to the Farmer's Market and there was a horse ring thing on our parking space.  History...  

3rd child cleaning his room.  I can see the floor!  

Hopefully now I'm caught up.  I really need to stop forgetting I have a blog.  

August Continues

 

You're going on a picnic without moi?

Ahoy, or something.  

Google says this fat, loud bird is a partridge.  

Kid about to soon going to be taller than I am :(  

Feed me, now human!

Flower growing through my fence.  The internet says it's a purple flower, thanks internet.    

Camera Photos August

 The twins.  It's still hard to tell them apart unless you can see their feet.  

Luna, I think

Pumpkins are flowering, not actually growing any pumpkins.

Cucumbers have been doing great this year.  

Trying to get a picture of all three... 

Phone Photos August

 

Someone turned 13.  

The underneath of my mailbox.  Due to finding it off the post in the middle of a puddle earlier this year and the door rusting off, we replaced it this week.  

Cute kitten stuff

They weren't interested in this toy a few weeks ago, now they can't get enough.

Nice camera photos from August coming soon.
