Another Random Post

But I do have two other posts from tonight that actually have a subject, so feel free to scroll down just a little farther if you make it to the end of a bunch of silly photos I've taken during the last half or so of September.

This is me at 29 weeks pregnant. Tomorrow (in 1 hour and 15 minutes actually) I'll be 32 weeks.

We have a bunch of brown rice threatening to go bad so we pulled out our hand grinder and have started making rice flour and sticking it into our bread. It's... interesting.

The days are getting colder, especially in the morning, which is when my children like to play outside.

After bath time. 

 Joshua's mascot at school is a Leopard. For spirit week they had "spot day" where the kids "needed" a shirt with spots on it. So we made one. My preferred materials (of course) were felt and hot glue.

Lukas eating cherrios. I just think he is adorable so you get three of these photos.

We didn't go raspberry picking because the patch closed the day I wanted to go... and then reopened and is now closed again. But I still got over excited about the first day of fall and bought a bunch of squash. Yams are gone. Acorn squash are gone. Butternuts will be turned into soup on Friday and the pumpkin is for next week.

I liked this photo of my kitchen. overflowing fruit on one counter. Overflowing squash on the other. Fresh bread on a third counter. Herbs in the window sill. And dinner on the table - a big salad and I can't remember what is in that frying pan anymore.  Plus all the pots strewn across the floor along with all the other stuff on the floor the kids brought up but you thankfully can't see in the shot. I don't know. The photo was a good reflection of my day.

See. We ate the acorn squash. And loved them.

We bought and planted a pear tree and a peach tree. Plus Derek cut down a different tree and multiple limbs off the bigger trees blocking the sun from these little guys. There are still 3 huge trees to take totally out, but I wont be helping with this project next time... it kind of threw me into preterm labor. No worries.  Everything is fine now. And I know with the next pregnancy NOT to plant fruit trees at a full 7 months.

  See. We at the yams too. Sometimes our dinners are so healthy, like this one where we had yams made with butter, honey, and cinnamon plus green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and almonds. We love this stuff. But I do admit, tonight for dinner we had costco pizza and hot dogs. That's pretty good too. (although my blood sugar is still recovering from it.)

Ok, you made it to the end. Now look at the other two blog posts. Two fun activities with some cute photos.
