week 35 in pictures

sunday:012    after church, we went to dave’s company picnic, and from there, we went to the rehab center where my mom was staying (post hospital) for a visit. she requested some starbucks coffee and a slice of pecan pie from shari’s, so we brought them to her. there was a wheelchair in the room, and the kids (and dave) had fun ‘playing’ with it. isn’t my daughter sweet?

monday:013     in the evening, we went over to my parents’ house and did some organizing/cleaning. I brought our dinner and cooked it over there, but the pork chops were so thick that they took forever to broil. the kids played on grandma’s computer while they waited… and waited for dinner. I thought it was cute to see them all crammed into the chair together.

tuesday:003     after some back to school haircuts for layla and shane, we were over visiting at our neighbor’s house and shane started giving layla and micah rides in her wagon. at some point they thought it would be fun to give missy (her dog) a ride in the wagon too.

wednesday:003    first day of school! first day of school!

thursday:001     my 17 ears of corn.

friday:001     the beautiful bouquet of market flowers dave brought me for our anniversary. I love that he works so close to pike place!

saturday:

I have a picture for saturday, but I’m not posting it here, and I’m undecided about whether or not to print it and put it in the album. layla had a little scooter accident, and managed to remove a fair amount of skin from just below her right butt cheek. we took a picture of it, mainly just so we would have record of what it looked like fresh, in case it became infected or something. anyway, I didn’t think she’d appreciate it if I posted it.

the extras:2011-08-31     1, 2, and 3 are all from the picnic on sunday. 4 is layla getting her haircut w/ tina. 5 is our neighbor, susie, helping layla identify and label all of the leaves she collected and taped into a book.

    Were you able to eat all your corn or did you end up freezing any of it?

a tribute to layla

    i love my daughter. i really do. if i had only 3 words with which to describe her, it would be “full of life”. and she really, really is. she is someone who wants to experience all that life has to offer. i love the age she is too. her excitement about things is always contagious and her ideas hilarious and creative. she’s one of those kids who can’t just paint the paper, and whatever the rules for the game happen to be, they’re too boring and she’s going to play it her own way, darnit!                      there are a few things that come with this fabulous age, however, that i could easily do without. the screaming fit she had today, for example, over a graham cracker. she had the intention of giving it to micah, and broke it in half, even though, the whole time she was doing it, i was telling her NOT to give one to micah because he was having his lunch. i...

THAT’S NOT FOOD!

my friend, stephanie , has inspired me with her most recent post. apparently this was a topic on oprah today, i don’t watch her show, but it’s a good topic. my comment on her post (which is great – read it. the post, not my comment.), was quickly turning into a post of it’s own, so i decided to continue my vent here. it probably won’t be as eloquent as hers, but i’m climbing up on the soapbox she just got off of. we eat CRAP! LOTS and LOTS of CRAP!!! as a nation, it astounds me how much non-food we consume. i’ve wondered about this for a long time, but it used to be inspired from an environmental standpoint rather than a nutritional standpoint. i wondered about all the garbage we throw out. it bothered me that you couldn’t go to the store and buy granola bars without also buying a box and 6 wrappers, that would then be thrown away. i wondered why, every time you buy salad dressing or ketchup, you have to buy a new bottle, which would then be thrown away. i wondered why, every tim...

i love bees!

so, i took pictures for this post yesterday and then, upon checking some other favorite blogs, i discovered this on angie’s blog. she totally beat me to it! oh well, i guess it’s a common thing right now. but not to be outdone, here is my post: the bees are just crazy right now. especially on the raspberries, which makes me super duper happy because it means we’ll have a TON of wonderful raspberries this year! as you can see, we have a LOT of them… my patch keeps on growing! and the whole thing is literally alive with bees. you can watch it and it’s constantly moving and buzzing… just a whir of activity! it’s really something to see!    i just love bumblebees! i always say i want them for pets. maybe it’s because they’re so fuzzy! i could watch them for hours.    my rhodies are finally blooming! i love that purple one.

sourdough – installment 2!

well, i guess i did it right! today was day 4 since i made my starter. it had bubbled, grown, shrunk, and bubbled some more and was starting to smell more like wine than yeast. my experienced sourdough-making friend angie assured me that this meant that it had ‘soured’ and i could now use it. so i did. i decided to use my bread machine to do the mixing and kneading for me, but i wanted to bake it in the oven. i used the recipe for sourdough in my bread machine instruction book, and then used the baking instructions in a cookbook i have. at any rate, we have success!!! i was afraid they were a little too done, but actually, the bread and even the crust is still soft, even though it looks kind of dark. we dove right in and holy yumness! i think it could be a little more ‘sour’, so i’m going to leave my replenished starter out a day or two before i ‘put it to sleep’ in the fridge. but as it was, it was wonderful. i tried to take a picture of shane enjoying it, because his piece was big...
