week 41 in pictures

this week is a little wonky, as far as pictures go, but not as bad as last week.

sunday: layla and micah making brownie pops with gramma.182

monday: gramma got to go to school and have lunch with layla.539460_4138291968480_1414067136_n

also monday: micah didn’t want to go to bed and he didn’t want gramma and papa to leave the next morning, so he was refusing to say good-bye. so he wound up snuggling with papa for awhile and almost passed out.194

tuesday morning: on monday, layla had made a passing (loaded) comment to gramma about how, when we’re at their house, we always have donuts for breakfast at least once. so, unbeknownst to the kids, gramma bought a box of donuts for them to have the next morning (after they had started back home). layla was super surprised and excited when I told her.2012-10-13

tuesday: gramma bought a mini pumpkin for each of the kids. layla and micah had fun decorating them with sharpies. layla’s was quite traditional (yet feminine), and micah drew a pirate on one side and his preschool teacher (pictured below) on the other. LOL!2012-10-131

thursday: sometime after dinner (well before 8pm), shane PASSED out on the couch. he was still there, several hours later when I went to bed, and wound up staying there all night.038

saturday: some friends of ours got dave some tickets to the UW vs. USC game and he took layla (who has obviously been brainwashed). she was SO excited to go to her first REAL football game! IMG_20121013_190417

and the instagrams… went a little crazy this week.177179184186188190192199201203205207002004007009011013015017020023027029035046048050052

tater tot casserole recipe

i realized i forgot to post this last week when we had it.  i actually like it a little better than the hash brown one, but both are good.  it’s VERY similar. once again, this is something i’ve made so many times that i just kind of wing it now, although i do have the recipe that kate sent to me after she made it for my family when micah was born. i like to keep the recipe because it has some little ‘britishisms’ throughout, just like kate! ;-) who, by the way, rocks, having called to check up on me the other evening when she saw that the power in our area was out AGAIN!  thanks kate, smooch smooch! but now i’m getting distracted… big surprise. here goes. you will need: 1 lb or so ground beef (or ground turkey) 1 chopped onion a bunch of veggies (kate’s recipe calls for a ‘tin’ of mixed veggies, but i use fresh carrots & celery if i’ve got’em, frozen beans, peas, corn, whatever).  maybe 2-3 cups. 1 can (or tin) of cream of something soup (i use celery usually

“you should have your head examined!”

… i just did! yup, yesterday i had the thrilling experience of sitting in a hospital waiting room for 2 hours, followed by another in a trauma room.  no, i don’t think i had suffered any sort of major trauma – i think that’s just what room they had left to stick me in.  i mused about where we would go if they had to kick us out because a ‘real’ trauma situation arose.  thankfully, we didn’t have to learn the answer to that.  i guess i was a traumatic as it got during that window of time. backing up, i wound up in the hospital yesterday because micah threw some clothes on the ground.  the night before i had been folding laundry in the living room.  i had a couple of stacks of ‘hang up’ clothes that were draped over the baby gate in front of the fireplace.                         yes, it’s a christmas picture, but i knew i had it in my stash.  at any rate, there’s the ugly baby gate that the clothes were hanging on.  also notice the wood mantle above it that the nativity set is on.

has anybody seen my blogger mojo?

i think someone must have stolen it.  seriously! i’ve had NOTHING to say for a week now.  me! nothing to say! i didn’t even know that was possible. i have a few things on the back burners, but nothing really to post because it would require uploading pictures off my camera and for some reason, i can’t find the motivation to do it.  sure, i’ll dig all the grass and weeds out of the garden, but plugging a camera into the computer is just too much work.  geez.  well, at least my priorities are straight. for once in my life…

a blue period...

i'm feeling really lazy lately. well, some might think i'm lazy all the time, but it's worse right now. i always get really down on myself when i'm having trouble keeping things organized, when my house is a mess, when we eat mac and cheese for dinner, etc. usually that's appropriate motivation to get me off my butt and make me keep things in some sort of relative order. but night now it's really bad. i don't feel like doing anything. there are toys all over, and i purposely make myself not see them because i just don't want to pick them up. same with the dirt behind the door in the bathroom. the pile of clothes that need to be ironed, the mess in my bedroom, the crap falling out of the drawers in my bathroom, the garage. i don't want to go grocery shopping. i don't want to cook. the floor needs to be swept and mopped in the kitchen and dining room and the sink is dirty. the backyard is a total disaster and i just don't feel like
