Happiness Is ...

Yummy, yummy apple cider from our local apple store. (I love that apple-headed man! He's been the same forever.)

Homemade applesauce with apples from my favorite apple-headed-man store.

A little girl, whose fever may have finally broken, wearing a pink hat with some new pink birthday sunglasses (that I forgot to give to her until yesterday afternoon).

Excellent test grades from Jackson (97% and 100%) and Mason (96%). I guess they get their smarts from Joe.

Happiness is ... soccer season is ending tomorrow. Taylor has his soccer tournament and it looks like we might have mild weather (if it doesn't rain). Last year I nearly froze to death at his tournament.

What is making you happy this week?

1) My baby slept in nearly two hours this morning...
2) It's Friday! That means Pizza at Costco for dinner!
3) My baby is happily sitting next to me and not asking for "bunny movie", candy, cookies, chocolate or anything else I don't want to give her at 9:30 in the morning
4) Getting ready for #2 and #1 is done with bottles AND the crib.
5)Half a loaf of fresh pumpkin bread and half a loaf of fresh white bread on the counter. Yummy, yummy carbs!

Is that the apple place WE went to??? Oh my, that was fun! (and yummy!).

Spenser is SO friggin' adorable, I hope she's better soon.

And what's making me happy? Not going back to work today and the secret plans that you know about.

WOO HOO for those fantastic test scores! Good job, boys!
Glad to hear that Spenser's fever finally broke. She looks fab in those glasses.
I made some home made applesauce last week. It lasted for a record time of about 2 hours. It was super yummy.
I'm with you on the subject of long pants....capris or skirts for me. However, our weather is a tad more cooperative. ;)

My big girl's musical performance last night. A nap this morning. Donuts. A crafting day tomorrow. And some other stuff, too...

I hope Spenser feels better soon! Poor girl.

Having some energy back finally so I can clear backlogs of projects, catch up here and post some more pics.

Hubby has just barrelled the cider he's been fermenting, so the house smells sort of appley mixed with the sausage casserole we had for dinner's smell. Very Autumn!

I came upon your blog while searching out a pattern for pj bottoms (post from 2006). I just spent the last 10 minutes or so peeking about. Great blog, great pictures, and cute kids. Thanks for the escape.

A husband who looks after me when I am sick.

A comfortable bed.

Children who sing/whistle when they are happy.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
