A Little Of Lately

~We found the cutest little turtle you've ever seen!  Walking with a friend at the park and there he was just wanting to be picked up, carried to my house, and tortured by 5 boys.  He was only about 3 inches with the tiniest little head and hands.  Awwww.....for a turtle.  I wish I had taken pictures.  We finally took him back home to the park and believe me, Mr. Turtle was thrilled with that idea. 

~Azure Standard is delivering to FSM!  Happy for me b/c I will getting my favorite health foods cheaper.  I do love a good deal.  This month it'll be 60# of organic apples for apple sauce and a case of sucanat..plus a few other goodies...but those are my favorites.

~Poncho died.  Who's Poncho?  The mexican jumping bean that Mr. Hartsfield gave LB.  So Lane took it outside to disect it and see what it looked like inside.  No tears shed over this one. 

~Lotsa fun at the Safety Fair at Immanuel Baptist yesterday.  The kids got to climb in a fire truck and police car, get finger printed, jump in the bounce around, take pictures, eat cotton candy, and win prizes.  Let me tell ya, when there's prizes involved and you have 11 tickets, you're bound to come home with something fun.  And when there's a cake walk...well, we tend to pretty much take it all. 

~In less than 24 hours we will be reunited with our Mabbs!  Our sweet CO friends are making the huge long tiring boring drive just for US!!  And oh, are we so thankful.  One week of wonderful. 

~Last night Honey took me to pick out my Mother's Day present.  I can't tell ya what it is b/c it had to be ordered and its not here yet and so I can't take a picture.  BUT, next week!!  So stay tuned....

~My garden is lovely and we're already picking lettuce and spinach. 

~My in-laws are here for a couple of more weeks.  Today Honey and the 9yo went fishing with my FIL.  He's hoping to bring home something for the goldfish pond. 

~We've hit the point in life when family dinner is rarely what it used to be.  We either have somebody missing or a couple of somebodys extra.  I like the extra better than the missing.  Sunday always involves extra so I'm coming up with a standard Sunday lunch meal.  I feel bad making the company eat the leftovers that the kids rejected all week.  Until I change it, it's whole chickens, baked potatoes, salad, bread, and some kind of dessert.  Easy b/c I can make it all in the crock pots and have some stuff made in advance.  My mom gave me her big turkey roaster thing thats like a huge crock pot.  I think I'll be able to get 4 chickens in there if I need to. 

~Tonight is church.  And the last Sunday night church for the summer.  I'll miss it. 

~I'll leave ya with this... Meg and Efum...as my little boys call him.
