One day down...

This is the only picture I've got to post...this was the sunset as we were arriving in Nebraska.  Of course it was much more impressive "in person".  It was a long day and shooting through the window of the car is not optimal.   But I like posting a picture with each post.  So this is it.

One day down and six to go.  I am typing this with a tiny little helper...fifteen month old Kate.  So far, I've started over three times!

LATER...Okay, my little helper is in her crib and I've got a date with a five year old and an eleven year old and the grandpa to play Apples to Apples...gotta make this short.

I've been trying to keep the house tidy but with four children, two dogs and a gazillion toys, it's not easy.   No darned wonder their sweet mother needed a break...it's non-stop at this house!

Jack said, "Well, we had four kids...and the house was always tidy."  And I said, "How did I do that?"  And Jack said, "Well, we didn't have a gazillion toys."  Hmmmm....probably that's true.

So.....I'm off to play Apples to Apples.

Stay tuned...

  5. I look back and wonder how I did it. Hard to do much more than cook, wash up and laundry.

  6. J.R. (The Japanese Redneck - That's what I'm calling you for short :-)...I do indeed have my hands full but maybe I'll lose a couple of pounds - ha!

    Hilary, thanks for the thumbs up on the photo...sometimes you've just got to go with what you've got!

    Ms. Fiddlesticks...I hear you...

  8. Love your photo. Mother Nature knows how to throw a party. Looks like you've got your hands full...and, yep, didn't have all those toys around! If you can, cause I know you're busy, can you send out Pings...had to chase you down.

  9. My sister gave me Apples to Apples for Christmas but I haven't even opened the box yet. Is it fun to play with little kids?

  10. The photo is lovely. Sunsets or rises, you can't beat 'em especially in person.

    ~Cooking and cleaning can wait 'til tomorrow,
    For children grow up we learn to our sorrow,
    So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
    I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.~

    I wish I'd paid more attention to that rhyme when my children were young and so glad I know it now.

  11. It IS fun, KK, but I'm really, really tired at the end of the day! Worth it, tho.

    Kittie, I'm not sure how to ping on Blogger...tried to check it out but couldn't find a link...I'll work on that. Thanks, tho, for tracking me down...you're a peach.

    Ms. Sparrow, Apples to Apples is a lot of fun but the kids have to be able to read. I think it says "age 9 and up" so we let the five year old be the permanent "judge". It works just fine that way and she has a ball.

    POD, that is a cool poem...haven't read that for ages so thanks! I know exactly what you mean. But that's hindsight so...

I just love reading your comments. It's part of what makes blogging so much fun, don't you think?

Unfortunately, because of a recent spat of spam, for awhile I'll be reviewing comments before publishing them.

Thanks for understanding.
