Watermelon Days

I had to take some pictures and brag a little.  The kids are eating a 
watermelon that came from our garden.  We were amazed to 
get so much wonderful fruit when we are in a drought.


Larry is trying to make his melon, his smile.

I guess the best part about a watermelon is the seeds.  
Here are some of my kids spitting into my flower beds.
Here is Ruby enjoying such a sweet treat.

Here is one of 4 watermelons from our garden.
The one the kids are eating is about a third the size of this one.  
It was tiny, but just enough for the kids to enjoy.

Ruby is so pretty! It was hard to beat the looks of your watermelon but somehow she managed to outshine it. Oh and your kids can really spit! A useful talent in the South. Spitting and football!!

Man, I'm jealous. I love watermelon. I remember us all eating it when we were little and Dad sternly telling us,"You'd better not pee the bed tonight." It made me so paranoid!

I just remember Dad telling you guys not to swallow the seeds or you'd grow a watermelon in your belly. Bryce looked at this site and said, Hey my best friends! Who are they? I guess he wants to be their best friends. The watermelon looks amazing. We got some canteloupe this year, but haven't tried watermelon. Maybe next year.

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
