I was tagged to take pictures of my home with no cleaning, clearing, wiping, changing etc. allowed... Here goes:
#1 Laundry Room. I actually love my laundry room. It's right off the kitchen, so it is great to have room for trash and recycling. I also love the shelf/bar above the machines. I can hang things to dry and my bags for recycling.
#2 Favorite Room. Our living room is where it all happens: family prayer, dancing, wrestling, and cuddling. We can see groundhogs, bunnies, squirrels, blue birds, cardinals, and butterflies from the french doors.
I LOVE my rocking chair and our couch is comfy (but not as great as our old couch we sold in CA). This is 1 of only 2 areas that we hung anything on the walls. I feel so temporary in this house even though we will live here for 2 years.
#3 What are the kids doing? Lucy was sleeping when I was taking pictures. She likes to cover her face with blankets while she is trying to fall asleep. That's usually how I can tell she is really tired. Leland was helping me take the pictures.
#4 Favorite pair of shoes. My Old Navy flip flops I have had longer than my husband, for about 5 or 6 years. I wear them almost every day, when I lived in CA it was every day (except Sunday). I already have my tan line back on my feet.
#5 Toilet. While I was looking at the
blog where I was tagged, Leland starts to giggle and says "Mommy, someone took a picture of a potty. That's so silly!" I replied "It is silly. Do you want to take a picture of your potty?" So, of course, we did.
#6 The sink. I really like to have an empty sink. I have an awesome husband that helps load and unload the dishes a lot, so that makes it easier. On the window sill is my cilantro that I had to bring inside because it is so stinkin' hot. I hope I can keep it alive.
#7 Fridge. I chose an inside picture. The white canister in the freezer.....homemade strawberry ice cream. Yum!
#8 Self Protrait. Me and my picture taking helper Leland.
#9 My closet. Our closet is very small. I also have Rubbermaid tubs in the corner of my room that act as part of my closet.
#10 Dream Vacation: Ireland. I've actually gone twice before, but would love to go back with Chuck.
I tag...1st Daughter, Kira, and Shana.
2 princesses to be exact. I love it when I am lucky enough to have both girls asleep at the same time. I can read and do a little more digital scrapbooking. Here is my first actual page.
Nothing fancy, I'm still learning. I am using GIMP the free version of Photo Shop and there are all sorts of free kits out there. Thank you to all those people that believe ideas should be free and take the time to share them with others.
These crazy tall weeds are growing all over in the field by our park. Every time we see one, Leland stops to tell me that they are beanstalks and they are going to grow as big as her.
She started wailing, as it was getting late I thought her cries were a bit exaggerated. I looked at her toes and she did have a small cut on the outside of her little toe. She asked for a Band-Aid so I carried her back to the bathroom to get one. As I set her on the bathroom counter I noticed blood all over her foot.
Since today was between Chuck's birthday and Father's Day we had a little celebration. Chocolate chip muffins and his new homemade apron. Leland says his apron looked like an American flag. It sort of does and that actually is very fitting for Chuck.
Pandit Books, a large warehouse-type book store, was going out of business, so we took advantage of the liquidation sale. Between 2 visits we picked out 129 books, videos, and books on CD for 25 cents each. Some of you will be getting packages soon. (Kim you would have gone crazy. Be grateful you moved BEFORE the sale.)
