normal....

....I mean seriously!?!?!?!? Normal is a relative term around these parts, but is this normal? School started August 18th and we are already through (there is actually a hole clear through them) our first pair of shoes. These are (were) a nice pair of school shoes that I was hoping would last till at least December-aint gonna happen folks. Now, now calm down-- I'm so THANKFUL for a boy that is able to run and get exercise but even with a knife in hand I cant see how this could happen in less than 2 months. Granted, these are the shoes he wears everyday to school BUT COME ON!! Oh well, good thing we have a trip to the city planned.

kinda sorta....

....actually.... got a half-way decent picture of Andrew b4 his program. These come few and far between so it was necessary that it was documented.



AND HERE HE IS AS RAPPER PIG AT THE GRANNY AWARDS PROGRAM....HES THE ONE WITH THE BLACK WIG ON

As much as I begged and pleaded my husband was not going to allow for a privacy fence to go up...never....ever on this property. So I went for the next best thing, bushes that will get pretty tall...well, tall enough for a little privacy anyway. Who knew this-computer nerd could plant me 4 bushes AND grass all in the same weekend?!?! Although I think he took in plenty of advise from the BIL he did do it on his own. YEA!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Happy Anniversary Gma and Gpa!! Didn't have a picture of them that was "postable" so this will
have to do.

So glad our friends left town so we could do their chores. I'm sure doing chores wouldn't be nearly as fun if we had to do them every day.

....down it came....

After a $600.00 estimate to take this tree down, Jas decided he'd do it on his own.
