threesixfive, week 17

sorry i'm getting this up late. i was leading worship our womens retreat this weekend, and although i did get home yesterday afternoon, i was wiped, hence the delay.

heres me week!!

sunday

i know y'all (my fellow project 365ers) like bird pictures. :-) i dont know what this is, but its the prettiest bird i've seen around these parts, which is still just a relative statement; thats not to say that i think this bird is pretty, 'cause if i'm being honest, i dont. we get crows and sparrows; nothing as pretty as what most of you get. i figured i'd seize the opportunity.

monday
molly and colby each had a friend over, and a couple of the neighborhood girls joined molly and her friend ruth in the cul-de-sac. i loved seeing the group of girls playing together.

tuesday
tortilla soup for dinner. yum!

wednesday
apparently we have a cat. who likes peas.

 and also a baby with an extremely healthy appetite.

thursday
we took a day trip to my inlaws in houston to have first crack at the moving sale items they'll be selling in another week or so. molly passed the time riding her scooter up and down the driveway.

 molly lost her other middle tooth in the car on the way home. that sucker has been hanging on entirely too long. i dont think ive ever been as happy to see blood all over my kids face. :-)

friday
spent friday afternoon thru saturday afternoon prepping and leading worship at our church's womens retreat girlfriends getaway. it was my first time being 'the leader' and i really enjoyed it.

saturday
allen is still doing daily physical therapy exercises for his knee. the kids decided to join him saturday night.

i hope y'all have a fantastic week. we're supposed to get rain here for the next 3 or 4 days, but right now the weather is beautiful, so i'm about to slap on some sunscreen and go enjoy it!!!

be blessed!!!

threesixfive, week 16

holy cow! this week flew by. i dont know how it happened, but suddenly it was saturday again. i spent most of my week pulling weeds. ugh. i'd rather get them all up by hand than spray, though. i never know if spraying them is really going to work or not. pulling them up by their root, however, most definitely gets rid of them. it just takes way more time and effort.

once again, my phone pictures didn't load properly, so i substituted a picture for tuesday, and then i'm just missing a picture for wednesday, because i couldnt find a good substitute i wanted to use. ho hum.

sunday

the mosquitoes were eating me alive sunday evening!!! i had molly take a picture of my legs. i get horrible itchy whelps (sp?) when they first bite, but if i can leave them alone, they go away pretty quickly. they look awful though.

monday
my afternoon......

tuesday
confession: i pulled this picture off the internet.
my friend april and i are leading worship at our churches womens retreat next weekend, and we've been meeting with vicki (the piano player) on tuesday evenings to go thru music.

wednesday
no picture. well, its on my phone.


thursday
we had our friends the meanings over for dinner. they have triplets that are colbys age. 2 boys and a girl. the kids had so much fun playing together. it was a houseful for sure!

friday
our soap dish doesnt want to seem to stay on the wall in the guest bathroom. i think because it makes a good foot rest for our female guests who shave their legs. :-/ so this time allen just put up two tiles, and i bought a bottle of body wash since theres nowhere for the soap to live. problem solved, hopefully.

saturday
i ran the diva dash with my friend jaclyn. its a 5k with obstacles. we came in just under 40 minutes. last year we did it in about 47 in think. next year the goal is 35.
it was cold!!! but fun!

i'll be gearing up for womens retreat this week, but other than that, it should be pretty 'normal'.

threesixfive, week 15

this week has flown by!

i'll get right to the pictures.

sunday

my parents and i (and the kids) drove to louisiana for my cousins wedding on sunday evening. here she is with her dad (my uncle scott) walking her down the aisle.

monday
we stayed the night at a friend of my uncle's, and this is her beautiful little back porch. it was the only picture i took monday; lot of road time.

tuesday
mom and dads dogs play fight all the time. it will keep us entertained for entirely too long.

wednesday
april is national poetry month! i pulled out my old shel silverstein books from when i was a kid, and we've had so much fun reading them this week!

thursday
i got a bike today!! allen wants to start riding to help rehabilitate his knee, so some friends of ours gave him a bike they had and werent using. colby and molly each have bikes now. but i didn't! so after no luck on craigslist or at goodwill, we made a trip to target thursday afternoon and i picked out this beauty. allen kind of makes fun of it for being an "old lady bike". it is very angela lansbury, murder she wrote...other than it being bright yellow. love it.

friday

my theatre class i teach at our homeschool co-op had their performance this weekend. friday night was dress rehearsal. the play is called Hovel, M.D.; Fairytale Doctor. its based loosely on the character from the t.v. show House, so hes very obnoxious and sarcastic. its hilarious. here are just a couple of my favorite shots. 

saturday
at last its here!!! performance day!
heres a group shot. i took a 'serious' one, but the silly one is just too good not to share. :-)
you may see a couple characters you recognize; hansel and gretel, the gingerbread man, little red riding hood, the emperor with no clothes (except our wore boxers and an undershirt. family show.)
they did SUCH a great job, but i'm glad its done. sheesh.

i think i'm fighting off a stomach bug. i havent felt well since yesterday afternoon. i'm running a 5K on saturday. hopefully i'll shake it off by then.
have a great week!!

link up to share your pictures!

threesixfive, week 14

hope everyone had a great week! i got pictures each day! yay me!!

sunday

you get multiple pics 'cause it was Easter, of course!

my parents had to be at their church that morning, but the drove down sunday afternoon and spent the evening and next day here with us.

monday
mom and i took the kids to mt. bonnel in austin. its pretty much just a look out point that you have to walk a million stairs up to, but boy is it pretty.

tuesday
april showers bring may flowers. what about torrential downpours and high winds? what do those bring? i took this picture at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. i went ahead and turned the porch light on, because it was quickly headed to being that dark.

wednesday
colby has taken over allens post-op recovery recliner. ugh. now both the men in my house have grown attached. i will not keep this thing in my house. :-/

thursday
my theatre class's performance is a week away. i'm getting costumes ready.

friday
one of my friends had a get together at her house and everyone was supposed to bring some of their favorite things. i stopped at chick-fil-a that afternoon and got a gallon of their sweet tea to take with me. yum!!

saturday
my hair is driving me crazy. growing it out is the pits. right now its just in my way but its not long enough to do anything useful with. i decided to try this cute little 'do today. i liked it, but no one i saw said anything about it, so i think everyone that knows me just thought it was weird. i'll rock it again, though, 'cause i liked it. it reminds me of '"we can do it!" rosie.'

getting this up early this weekend, because im about to head to dallas where my parents and i along with colby and molly will head to louisiana tomorrow for my cousins wedding. sunday evening. weird, right? but im SO glad i get to go!

have a great week!!
