Figured it Out...

Well...here I am now too.

Not much new. What a beautiful day it was today! I love the fall. Crisp air and so pretty.

Visiting with Grandma and Grandpa in Tabby was fun. I worry that Grandma is lonely. We should all make efforts to call her often.

groceries

Today, i bought $164.14 worth of groceries for only $68.86. Very cool.

sooooooo nice

Got back from our trip to St. Pete Beach. It was so nice and relaxing. We were able to go to the temple on our way home, really glad we did. Wendy didn't seem too frazzled when we got back, although she did say six kids wasn't on her list of things to do in this life.

I'm going out of town for a few days in less than 24 hours. Feeling pretty excited. Grateful Wendy can come watch the kids, so we can go.

jake & popsicles

i am thankful that i didn't yell at jake at the end of a conversation that went like this: I say, "Jake why did you eat two popsicles?" Jake says, "well... you told me i could have one!" i say, " ok, but you ate two, so you don't get one tomorrow." Not three minutes go by when Jake says, "mom...." i say "what" Jake says, "well never mind,.... I was gonna ask if i could have a popsicle, but you'll probably say no." i say, " " (just imagine look on my face nothing had to be said. (Yes for all of you wondering, there is a popsicle shortage in our budget, as we have supplied posicles to not only our 4 boys but the entire neighborhood all summer as well.)
That man is SO HANDSOME!!! What a smile. You can't look at that smile and not feel blessed that he is part of your life. Great idea Theresa.

I am glad that I can go out in my yard and pick a peach to eat for breakfast and a tomato and cucumber to eat for lunch and an eggplant to eat for supper. MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm.

I meant to post this yesterday and apparently messed up and it became a comment. That means I get an extra one today.
