Finally Friday!

Well, how are you? It has been quite the week here (never been happier that we have zero sports to attend!) 

We started out of the gates running on Monday and never stopped, or slowed down.  School, homework, canning, baking, doctors appts (bad news for the hubs, they have found another spot in his back that needs pulling out, imagine a mid evil torture device pulling him from either side about sums it up) so he will not be better anytime soon, run to town forgot what I needed it took 3 trips to town then to the "big" town then back to town (that was a day!), Virl forgot his agenda book go out to bus stop and wait for it to come down the hill, Vanessa ran with her breakfast in her hands it spilled all over her that was another wait at the bus stop this time with a bag of wet ones and new shirt.

I've gone through Okra, Tomatoes, and a few pints of apple pie filling (it's no good at all ;) ) I have really enjoyed getting this stuff put up. Next I have okra to pickle, and we went apple picking at Aunty Jeans today.....

                              

                              

                              

                             

It was a quick trip, but the kids had fun and got to see their Great Aunty Jean :) 

                               

So that is one thing off my fall bucket list! Do you have one? I looked on Pinterest and found one, but it needs some tweaking to adjust it for us, but apple picking was on it, and we've done it!

Other things from this week are

Vern spent time with his buddy Tommy

        

Tara is my chicken whisperer and can catch them anytime I ask (yes I have a fear of birds, no I don't want to do it myself, I have a bear ;) she does it for me) so here she is with our two young roosters

                                   

Vernon hitched a ride on the tractor

                                   

I found this app simply called "Glasses" it has a bunch of instructions for you. It records you turning left, center, right, back to center, and calibrates your face.  Then you can try on glasses, you can push them up or down, you can change the color (if it has that option),and sunglasses to! Here's one of my pics.....

                                     

Needless to say, I have been having fun with it.  Do I need glasses? Not as far as I know, but that won't stop me from trying glasses on ;)

So here is our apple haul, they will soon be canned apple pie filling.

                                   

They are as organic as you can get.

So I will be canning with Mum Inlaw this weekend, and try to get these done tonight. Plus dinner needs to be served.

Kids are outside playing with dad and I have a moment of quiet....what's that about? Oh, never mind I hear stomping up the steps.

If you don't hear from me this weekend, it's because the slave driver has me back in the kitchen ;) 

Have a safe and fun weekend y'all, and as always.......

Welcome to my crazy house!

What's The Skinny?

On me? Maybe my pinky finger! But seriously this isn't about dieting, it's about my families news. What's happening? What's going on.
How about a little about myself? Lets start with that.....
I was born in Victoria BC Canada
I am 30 (I mean 29)
I moved to Arkansas when I was 20
I got married when I was 20
Had my first child at 20
Then had 5 more children (don't worry, we've figured out what causes it)
I do not go to church, but believe in Jehovah
I am convinced everyone should use the 24 hour clock instead of the 12 hour
Homework is a pain in the neck (especially when I AM NOT SMARTER THEN A FIFTH GRADER)
My kids are my sun, my husband is my moon, and I am the earth. Without either of them, I would not exist.
I do not brush my hair on a daily basis, even though I make my girls
I would rather stay home then go shopping
Love a good book
HATE SNAKES

And the list goes on.

So needless to say, 6 kids, one husband, one cat, one dog, a handful of chickens, and one crazy household.

I'd like to tell you I'm the picture of perfection, all Stepford wife and what not, in reality this is what I look like most days. Yup, say hello to the oh so sexy, mum slept in, kids almost missed the bus, Moi!

                                   

And wearing my everyday not leaving the house sweats. Coaching tshirt. And, yes, no makeup (my sister inlaw is cringing), hair tied back, but where's my coffee? It will show up in future posts I'm sure ;)

So I'm starting this new page on Facebook. All about junk people really don't care about, or maybe they do. But then, isn't that Facebook? 

So, I'm going to talk about my kids ALOT. Some funny things, heart breaking things, happy things. Continue to read on. I love it. Share comments, ideas, or just complain. I love it all!

 A recent story for your reading pleasure: My oldest boy-o has a hard time listening. You can say something to him four times, know he's heard you, and still he'll just stare at you.  Well his teacher, after only two weeks of school was pretty fed up with him, and BOY did she let me know it. I sat him down (and by me saying this, I mean I screamed, cried, and pretty much asked him why he can't behave) so after this note home, and my temper tantrum/break down he comes home with a smile on his face and this 

                            

Now mum cried because she was so proud! Had to share it! And bonus, Grandma was here to read it off the bus! Plus way to go Snow Cones at school tomorrow!!

Getting late lovelies, until next time
