Make-Up and Cucumbers

Odd combinations? Just wait!

So today was productive. I got a lot done with editing and even some laundry. I got the school work that I had to get done completed. I still have a lot to do but at least progress is being made!

Today I had a very fun session with Jane, a Mary Kay consultant. I went to her Monday night meeting and she turned it into Mother Daughter night, where I took pictures of them after they were made up and even more beautiful than before. I had a blast and cannot wait to get to work on these photographs. While there I even got my eyebrows done, which made me a VERY happy woman! The little things that matter so much when we are mommas. More on the session in my other blog. Stay tuned!

While I was gone Brandon cut the back yard and helped Danny in his little garden. When I got home there were these 2 HUGE cucumbers on the counter. Yep, my baby boy grew them. He was so excited and I was shocked. I cannot wait to see how they taste! I wonder if it is a record for a 7 year old farmer?! Maybe I will actually weigh and measure them tomorrow.

I am looking forward to some swim time with Amy tomorrow night. We are going to do some excercises in the pool while the kids play! I am VERY excited! More on that tomorrow.

Well, I am pooped. I have to go put the towels in the dryer and then I am off to bed! I hope that you all had an amazing Monday! You will be in my prayers tonight!

More Yard Work Sunday

From the looks of things it appears that Sunday will be our yard work day. The boys' plants have been overtaking my kitchen so today Brandon built them a raised garden to plant in. He also fenced in the whole corner where it is so that they can plant flowers, and some of the more winding plants behind the fence but not in their garden. They were pretty excited as they started taking their plants from the little buckets to the big garden. I hope that they all make it! I want my boys' to enjoy gardening. I love to do it, but am just not talented so I watch. I try to convince everyone that I am supervising, but usually enjoying a good book and vitamin D.

It was a great day, and is going to end with a short blog. Mainly because I am tired and ready for bed. I have been working outside, editing pictures, trying to clean, and working on homework! It is just a typical day for momma! Oh well, I love my typical so it was nice!

Before I go to bed I will be saying a prayer for all of my friends and family. My mom is going to have 2 tests tomorrow to check a mass on her kidney. Please pray for great results! Thank you everyone!
