Note to Self...

When picking out flowers in the spring... 

This is what petunias look like in the fall...

This is what daisies look like...

Buy more daisies.

Dear Hannah...

Dear Hannah,

One of these days my little one...  your children will do this to you...

and they will do it often...  and I will just sit back and smile.  :-)

Love,
Mommy

My Evolution

There was a time in my life that I would have never gone to bed at night...

If this was left out... 

Of if this bucket of stuff was sitting on my front porch...  (I know - gross)

Or if my chairs were not perfectly arranged and Noah's kickball was not put away...  

 

Or even if Dave's coffee cup was left in the shrubs...

 

Or if my garage looked like this...

But I have evolved - and I will have you know that I am learning to live with a little chaos.    Some of that stuff has been this way for a few weeks.  And I have slept just fine...  That is big for me.  I mean so big that after I took these photos of this insanity, I still left it like that. 

Ok - so I photographed it, then I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off and picked it all up.   So maybe I haven't evolved completely...  but there are fingerprints on my door - and I am calling it a night.  Let the chaos pile start all over...
