Sleepy seeds

A few years ago my friend Amy told her son to hold still while she got a "sleepy seed" out of the corner of his eye. I thought that was a great term for the crusty little bugger and started using it myself.
This morning R1 got up at 6AM. She had had a late night last night playing Wii with mom, so I told her to get her pillow and climb back into bed with me and go back to sleep for a while. Her reply- "I can't mom. I already wiped the sleepy seeds out of my eyes." Love her!

God is on my side

OK, this isn't going to be what you expect...but I think that it is worth remembering! The house is a wreck. Now, I know that many of you are not surprised at this, and truthfully I pretty much threw up my hands today and refused to pick up anything as "I wasn't the one who made the mess!" So there! God apparently glanced in my direction today and decided that I needed a little support. So....for the first time in a long time my precious pooch decided that he had a need to pee in the house. And he did. Apparently God gave me the day off today because he foresaw this happening. What do I mean, you ask? Well, the dog peed on a mess of papers that I had refused to pick up and that dandy little pile of trash completely saved the floor! Good doggie! (Thanks, God!)

Happy Halloween!

MY Nana Would Have Been Proud!

She always had a stock of oreos in the silver tin on top of the refrigerator. Are they good, buddy?

Lower Village Chapel

I just love this image of the rainbow blessing the little chapel in our village. Wish I knew how to edit the power lines out of the picture, though!

Rachel's tonsils

Rachel asked that I take some pics of her operation so she could see what she looked like. Turns out that it was very interesting as she has no memory of the aftermath at all! She was such a trooper! Very impressive to the nurses and I have to give a big thumbs up to the anesthesiologist who told her a story of a princess all the way from pre-op until she fell asleep. Not even a hint of anxiety on her part. It was amazing. (oh, and thank goodness for the dvd player and Scooby-Doo!)

Fishing

.....for bottlecaps. I can't describe what a great activity this was! The three of them played together very well for almost 30 whole minutes ! LOL
