Proof that we had a good time:


Self Portraits....
Beautiful sky,
crazy eyes,
and some really nasty feet. 
After a good soak in the tub and our bedtime routine (i love our bedtime routine) we were good as new; 
feet were clean and eyes were back to normal. :) 
And we had a really great time. 
8:00 and it was already dark. 
I think fall is coming. 
At least here in Idaho. 
That may not be the case in California.

Just to be sure that fall is coming, I made sure to boil some cinnamon sticks and nutmeg today. 
Made my house smell like I was baking.
Even though I wasn't (sigh).
 I love to bake holiday food. 

Especially pies and brownies and ginger bars and brownies and candy and brownies.

We had a touch of fall the past two weeks in California...which had us all very excited...and then out of nowhere-we got a major heatwave. Hopefully, the heat is over and we can move on to fall!

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????...
