week 42 in pictures

42. that means there are only 10 weeks left in this year! wow. didn’t 2012 just start???

this week is a little bit not sunday through saturday. I was sick, then we had a birthday, so there are gaps and abundances that fill in the week. I have lots of posts about stuff this week, so be sure to check out the internal links.

sunday: layla snapped some blurry pics of micah and I playing uno after church. 077

monday: hooray for urgent care.2012-10-15

tuesday: micah’s official “last day to be 4” picture.002

wednesday: celebrating micah’s birthday with his preschool class. while waiting for everyone to finish washing their hands, micah requested “the elephant song”. it was enlightening.2012-10-1314

a little one of my gorgeous boy to stick in a center slot.041

he and layla helped me make his birthday cake. licking the beaters is the best… as is watching the cake bake, I guess.2012-10-171

the official 5 year old picture. SO perfect.036

saturday: our wheelbarrow load of pumpkins at the pumpkin patch!166

I have collages from micah’s birthday and the pumpkin patch that I’m also including, but those pics can all be seen in other posts.

and the instagrams… I ran out of my 2x2 (coin collectors) pocket pages, and decided that, assuming I can make it work number-wise and dimensions-wise, I want to try to make a grid collage of the little squares each week… this week it worked. we’ll see what happens next week.

this one will be 8x10:2012-10-18

and this one will be 5x7. micah’s school picture (which he had taken this week) will go on the back side of this in the book, as soon as I get it back.2012-10-20

I know they’re not exactly square. I’m trying not to let it bother me, so I’d appreciate it if you would just pretend they are. thanks so much, you’re the best.

  1. Happy Belated Birthday to your kiddo! Love the instagram layouts. Honestly I wouldn't have noticed they weren't square if you hadn't pointed it out.

what I wore wednesday

iiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s wednesday again!!! which means it’s time for me to brag about all of my incredibly well-thought out and likely expensive fashion endeavors prove to the world that I didn’t wear jammies all week. well, not all week… wednesday: tank: old navy, thrifted cardigan: handmedown jeans: thrifted flip flops: kohls earrings: target scarf: thrifted I was SO excited to find this scarf! it’s gorgeous! very silvery and shimmery, the blue flowers and so cute, AND it’s short! for somebody like me, who is of the not-so-tall persuasion, really long scarfs (or even standard length scarfs) can sometimes be a little overwhelming. you know? it’s like, “how many times can I wrap this thing around my neck before you can’t see my head anymore?” at any rate, this one is awesome and I love it and expect to see it on me a lot! I also found the process of trying to take a picture to be quite entertaining. I have a ‘people dog’, meaning, wherever her people are, that is where she th...

i need a fire extinguisher!

metaphorically speaking. my children are driving me nuts.  completely batty!  and i don’t mean that they annoy me.  well, sometimes they do, but that’s the least of my concerns.  i’m genuinely concerned about them.  why? they’re horrible! they fight: pinching, hitting, kicking, pushing, etc. etc. they tattle on each other. they don’t listen AT ALL to us. they complain and throw a fit when asked to do something totally reasonable.  it’s awful! i have yet to find some sort of effective discipline measure that will make any sort of improvement.  but this is only the day to day.  this is the least of my concerns. why? because these are just symptoms. these are the little fires that flare up all day long. i feel like i spend my day stomping them out.  one after another, often the exact same fire i just finished stomping out 5 minutes before!  but there’s this raging inferno all around us and as long as that’s burning, there’s nothin...

cpl party, finally

last saturday was dave’s company party, and as promised, here are some pictures. there aren’t a whole lot that really show my non-ridiculous dress, and none that show my fabulously, uncomfortably cute red shoes, but this is what i’ve got. see my cute red bag? my shoes matched it. that’s me w/ my back to the camera… white sash. it was a "blues brother’s" theme… notice all the hats and the band. made for very fun dancing music! mr. ‘white man’s overbite’, himself. more dancing. really, i did dance with my husband, just not when anyone was taking a picture. okay, dave just sent me a new one that someone else took. we’re actually dancing together, AND, you can see my shoes… disregard the totally goofy look on my face. sorry that the pictures and captions are a little funky. i usually use live writers to do posts w/ pictures in them but for some reason, it wouldn't publish to blogger right now, so i had to redo the post and the pictures never line up right...

“about me”

this (and some minor variations of this) has been my ‘about me’ headliner since I started this blog almost 6 (gasp!) years ago: i'm a wannabe 1950's housewife continually searching for my sanity. nose-wiper, owie-kisser, connoisseur of pbs cartoons... the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful children, loving parents, and a new, GORGEOUS house. i love knitting, reading, gardening, scrapbooking, THRIFTING!, blogging and otherwise avoiding the housework i should be doing (but i'm trying to do better and keep this beautiful house looking beautiful). oh, and i NEVER capitalize unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. I need to change it, but I wanted to preserve it, because it has described me for a good long period of my life. a lot of it is still true. I am still amazingly blessed in my life and my calling to be the wife of a wonderful man and the mother of these awesome children. I’m no better about housework than I ever have been, and my avoidance hobbies are s...
