Birdhouse? I thought it was an outhouse...

He's baaaccckk....

Here he is.... Making nightly round trips to the North Pole and back, it is your very own CookieO!! He started the kids' tradition last year on St Nicks day, so we thought it was fitting for him to return on his (birthday/anniversary).
Happy (1st) birthday, CookieO.

Halo around moon tonight, camera phone doesn't pick it up so stick your head outside and check it out. Pretty cool..

Perhaps it could be the new Charlie Brown Xmas tree...

Maybe I should save my herbs, it could act as some Christmas decor later... Resembles Charlie Brown Christmas tree a bit :-D

Pretty sky at softball last night

It's the little plant that could...

Another tomato growing on my plant I seriously thought died when I replanted it as I accidentally ripped off its roots. It had only a few tiny roots left like maybe an inch long if that, I guess it was enough. #nevergiveup

Someone's been eating our tomatoes

Cat nap time in the tent

I think I woke him up, lol. Tanner likes the tent when the kids aren't in it!

Casualty from the garden. Looked pretty and done on one side, so I picked it and then yuck on the other side. :P

Replanted pumpkin plant...

Hope I don't kill the pumpkin plant now. It was doing well in the container and I fear I let it grow too big in there before replanting... We will see in next weeks i guess how it takes. Here's to us growing a great pumpkin, Charlie Brown! ;-)

Pretty petunias

My basket is almost overflowing now with pretty colors.

Reminds me of the scene from that 80s mermaid movie wasn't it like Splash or something where the chick is in the bathroom tub?

How long do you think the kids will leave me alone for? -Tanner :)

50 sunny, yesterday. Today, Cold, snowy.

Looks like crab and hotdogs for supper.

Haha. While helping clean up I noticed what was in the pot "cooking" on their stove.. Crab and a hot dog! Sweet.. I could do that for a meal. Good one, kiddos. :-)

Lego dude

Alicia was missing a pair of Lego legs, so I rigged up a little wheelchair for this guy and it works pretty well :)
