Our Little Cottage

A Look at My Day ~ Afternoon

This was actually written on June 6th... 

Here is three of the turtle pictures I promised on my last entry...

Not too much to report.  I finished cleaning up my counters and doing dishes...

There's my breadmaker!  I love it!  My good friend, Holli, gave that to me.  She was going to donate it to Goodwill, but I happened to be visiting that night so she gave it to me!  YEAH!

Can you see Zach in the pic above?  He's sticking his head through one of the shelves in the wall that separates our kitchen and living room!  LOL!

Arlee called a friend of hers to talk.  The friend invited her over to swim in their pool.  Danny had to go out to pick up a part for his lawn mower and run to get a few other things...so he dropped her off.  I think Arlee is most excited because she gets to wear her "new" bathing suit.

I decided we where having roast for dinner...

I'll add some green beans, whole sweet corn, and sliced carrots here soon.  Our neighbor, Earl, gave us some onions from out of his garden.  Danny wants me to clean them up, chopp them up, and throw those in, too!

I went outside and around the house taking a few pics of the new siding.  Please don't mind all the HUGE weeds everywhere!  Danny's weedeater is broke down...something else on his list that needs fixed!

Ok, front of house...

Here is my front stoop....

And a side of the house....

I'll get the back porch a little later.  I've still got coolers and such on it from when we went to the park!  Oops!  I'll get that stuff put away then I'll take pictures of the back!

I did take some pics of our side yard, though...

Side-front...

Side-back...

You can just about see our red tent back there!  That's where Danny, Arlee, and Frosty go when they camp out in the yard!  We have a burn pile {aka bonfire area} where they can have a fire too.

Now this one is actually the field behind our house.  It's not ours, but I'm SO glad it's there!  You can see our chain link fence in the corner of the picture...on the other side of all that water {thanks to all the rain we've been having} is our neighbor, Earl's, yard.  The high grasses starts the farmer's field.

It makes for a pretty view!

I have more cleaning to do, but the little boys are acting up.  I'm going to try and get them to lay down for a nap.  While I'm doing that, I'm going to try and read a little more in the book, Living Simply with Children.

Yeah...BOTH the younger guys are sleeping.  Went to check on Frosty to see what he's doing and this is what I found...

Playing video games in Daddy & Mommy's room!  Go figure!

Since Zach & Liam are sleeping, I'm going to go find something to do.  The camera keeps trying to tell me that the battery is low, so I'm going to let that charge while I go fold some laundry or something!

Pictures of me??  Well, I might get brave later...if I get a chance to fix my hair and stuff!  I just don't like myself in pictures much anymore...sorry!

Check back in again later for my late afternoon report!
