Bounty

See that bowl of tomatoes? That there is going to be Trevors homemade salsa which he makes every Sunday morning and I eat throughout the whole week. I put it on eggs, cottage cheese, salad, oven fried chicken. 
It is amazingly good. 


As I was collecting my gardens bounty, this little guy was hiding in my zucchini plant right where I stuck my hand in to pick a zucchini. It wasn't too bad. As I get older, bugs and spiders scare me less and less.


Anyway.....


Josh and I named him Frank. We get really creative with our names. On Monday, we had a grasshopper that came visiting our window and we named him Bob. 


I think Josh has a secret naming talent. 


But today was a productive day. I held Scouts this afternoon and made brownies with them, made my girls a couple of new headbands, painted and dressed up my lamp in my room, put away all the laundry, bathed two little boys, and updated this here blog.

Whew, I'm tired and going to bed. 
Trevors waiting for me. (I'm so lucky!!!)

Sounds like you had a busy day..
Nice looking tomato plants carefully watched over by Fred the praying mantis. I always liked them in my garden; the more they eat, less bugs for me to kill.

Wow it looks like you guys up in Idaho had a much better growing season than us here in Utah. We have a whole bunch of green tomatoes that won't turn and our plants look like death. Just saying I'm a little jealous of your garden!

Yes you are lucky!!! And I'm jealous of your garden! I hope I can become motivated enough over the next 6 months to make one for my own! And were one of those headbands you made on Ana's head??? Totally cute! You're awesome!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

This is very, very important:

You know how much we love Adams Peanut Butter, right? This amazing stuff in the picture above is like Adams but in a dessert-y/heavenly/marvelously/wonderfully kind of way. It is so, so good . And it has no hydrogenated oil or high fructose corn syrup and I can read all the ingredients in it which only makes up about six, surprisingly. You really need to get out to your local grocery store and buy this. Right. Now. I am in love with it. I just got done with a spoonful and am now contemplating going and getting another one only then my carbs would be exceeded for the day. But it would definitely be worth a slight belly ache. That's how good it is. Speaking of love , only 2 more days until our 11 year anniversary. We probably won't have a babysitter but we can think of plenty of great stuff  to do here at home to celebrate......... like eat a yummy dinner, play a game, eat dessert, massage each others feet..... well.... what did you think I was talking about????...
