a few {unedited} photos

My geek won't give me CS5 to do photo editing yet (stupid laptop is still moody) so here are some pictures right from the camera.


this year's corn. It's in the pot getting blanched. our crop this year tastes SO much better than last year - and last year was GOOD!!




bacon & cheese muffins. Hailee's pick but after having one she said they'd be better with OUT bacon. hmmmm... (yesterday I made olive, mushroom & mozzerella and she is now very happy again....today I'm making blueberry for my unadventurous husband)





My little guy starts pre-K in just 11 days. He has been very hard to teach writing to. So I used one of my many fonts and let him practice tracing his name. He does SO good, but does every letter backwards....and he works from right to left. His teacher is going to have her work cut out for her with this one. He is not nearly as ready as Hailee was - but I've heard it's because he's a boy. and I've heard it's because he's the 2nd child. and I believe it's because he's stubborn and only likes to do things HIS way LOL


Hailee wanted her hair curly like Taylor Swift. She said if I put her hair in braids it will work. So after her bath I spent over 30 minutes braiding her hair so she could sleep with them.


Here she is the next morning - not so Taylor Swift-like in my opinion. But she was happy with it and refused to let me wash her hair that night. (love the drowsy little boy that HAD to be in the photo??? gotta love early mornings)



well that's all I have for now. This week will be busy because flaky mom that I am has not been shopping for school clothes or supplies so I get to do it ALL now. The kids meet their teachers on the 10th and their first day is the 12th! I have a HUGE list of things to cook and bake to keep myself busy in the afternoons so I'm actually looking forward to it (until I have to leave my baby with a woman I don't know for 2 1/2 hours!)

enjoy the rest of your weekend folks!

Hi Kate - for the muffins I make the corn muffin recipe on the back of my corn meal container...then I add in whatever ingredients (this has chopped bacon and shredded cheddar) we're wanting. I've made them with diced ham and cheddar and also chopped olives, canned mushrooms, and shredded mozzarella. They are really easy to make and the kids seem to enjoy them. I put them in the freezer and take out whatever one they're wanting - will make lunch packing a breeze!
