A Day Raking Leaves

While I did not get much done inside the house today (maybe tomorrow) I did get a ton of raking outside....and I introduced my two older boys to the idea of outdoor chores ;) While I raked, they bagged....actually Tristen got bag duty and Kyle got poop duty....I know it is a dirty job but someone has to do it, and though we have a HUGE yard, for some reason the dogs favorite place to do their business is right on the only part of real back lawn we have....thanks....

We are completely surrounded by a Conservation area just about....and while it is pretty (VERY) and colourful and all that...the leaves this time of year is non stop, so while this is my first go around with the leaf picking up, there will be plenty more in the next month. Since we are trying to sell our house, it pretty much will be a constant. Hopefully tonight I will have time to do some laundry and baking....I need my weekly fix of banana bread thank you very much.



















These are my Puppies....Sushi, Sawyer, and Lucy....I love my dogs....well except for Lucy, who hasn't quite figured out that the dining room is not the poop place....grrrr....

Sushi MY Chow Chow :)

Sawyer the Crazy Ball loving dog



and Lucy....the trouble maker....




and here is my favorite shot of the day...a boy and his dog :)

Snip Snip Snip....

oh man....man, oh man, oh man......

Now I feel the pain of all mothers of little girls that get there hands on scissors and give themselves a haircut....cause while Gavyn is definately all boy....he sure gave himself a doozy....and while he completely needed to get chopped, he didn't need it this way....not at all....right in front, right to the scalp almost....and for some reason, right at the top of his head too....I really didn't know what to say to him except...."Don't EVER touch scissors AGAIN!!" Not only is it dangerous like that....but you gave yourself a dorky haircut :(

I really should get a picture....but I am still in cringe worthy mode, so I can't look at it without him feeling bad..

oh, and guess what....lol.....tomorrow......is picture day :) Of course it is....

Tons of stuff

Okay I gotta lotta stuff to do today....usually I try to post about things that are done...lol...now it is about things to be done. Let's hope and cross our fingers that I stay on track today. But somehow I doubt that. The house is clean....no really the house is completely clean...odd...lol...but it is. So I do not have to worry about that. I have about 4 *Scrappy Dress*s to finish today...which in reality I will probably finish two. Sucks to only get that far, but I get computer distracted easily. I also want to make a couple of chocolate chip banana breads today as the boys are digging into the school lunch snack reserves...lol...so that must be rectified somehow. I still want to start up the scrap quilt pillow that has been swirling around in my head for about a week now. I want to make a few of these as x-mas gifts, and if they turn out nice enough, I might enleash them onto the esty/ebay world :) so we shall see...


Geeesh....even my studio is clean.....I definately *MUST* do something about that....


Tally-ho...
