How can it be Christmas when it looks like this?????
For those that couldn't quite understand the monstrosity of a yard that I have to rake, there's Craig, the little ant at the top of our yard with his rake. Beginning the forbidden and impossible task of raking. I've heard it all... "get a blower!", "just get a blower and blow them!" "you guys should get a blower", "maybe you should just buy a blower!" And that's "it all". So next time someone says that I'm going to get them over here with a blower to physically demonstrate how a blower is going to help any in the matter. ha ha haa! Just kidding, but I don't see it working. Not to mention that the trees still have a healthy amount of leaves on them.
I guess Craig was excited!
The Beginning... I am a slave driver. Look at that smile though. He loves it.
Diesel DUH! Look at the color under there. Craig's still smiling. This is good.
Still smiling.... and I'm still watching. And not helping.
Well he's not even 1/15th done...
Now to the back of the house. Another acre. Just kidding, it's fairly small.
Diesel seems to jump into every single picture doesn't he? This is the back of our humble home. It's fantastic. We just love it! ....p.s.... ignore the garbage pile over there.
Our deck...our leafless deck that is! It only lasted an hour or so...
Diesel. Our other patio. Lovely. That ax in the corner is for... well if I tell you, I'd have to kill you too. I'm kidding FBI.
This is my bestest boy. A bonus pictures if you will. He likes to climb on things and sit. Not too far from the ground but fancy to him nonetheless.
These are my kitchen jars I'm proud of. That's all. Another "bonus" picture for me I guess. :)
GOODNESS GRACIOUS I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!
Linkin ADORES his Dad! He runs to him when he gets home and puts him arms into the air to be picked up. So cute!
Wow, I couldn't look scarier.
A prize goes to the first person to correctly identify each one of my chins!
Them again.
And FINALLY... My beautiful flowers from my sweet husband! He had them sent to me last week. I love the Holly leaves and the pine and of course the daisies are my favorite. They are gorgeous. I loved them!!!
So This post was 100% pictures and lots of them. Large too. I just feel like that's how they are going to be for a while because I have so many pictures, so little time so yeah. That's how we roll for a while. :) Thanks for reading. Love to all!















When I buy a house, I want you to come and be my personal decorator. The little snippets from the inside of your house are SO cute. And good luck with those leaves. I agree with you on the whole blower thing. It seems like it would just move them around. You've got the wind for that!

Thanks for all the comments on my blog yesterday - you are so nice!
I love your yard. I want a big yeard to spend five days cleaning up leaves in. Just Kidding, but it does look like Craig is having a good time...
And I am going with 5 chins! LOL! Linkin is so big! And so darn handsome! I'm so happy you are all doing so well!
