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.

    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.

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...
