MUCH BETTER

I'm 100% better!! (Okay, 99.999% better.)

School has started and I am now in the process of getting back into the school routine. I did great yesterday, but today I sucked. I've done nothing of use to anyone except walk the dogs a few times. The biggest problem I have with school days is after 3pm my day is over.

Oh well.

Here's some pics:

I was walking the tortoise and my littlest boy decided to come out and help by skimming the pool! Isn't he sweet?

There is a tortoise in this picture:

I guess when you can't see your pets in your lawn it's time to mow, eh?

It was okay, I didn't even have to get up! The long grass must've scared him, too, because he came back to me LOL.

"Don't cut the vine on the fence," they said, "It makes pretty flowers," they said.....Now there's barely enough room to hang clothes there!! It doesn't show well in this picture, but that vest is resting on top of the vine!!!

Enough? No? Okay, here:

A beautiful Illinois sunset:

My Diva's birthday dinner:

Waffles with strawberry & blueberry toppings.

Candles (Pink, of course!)

Me having fun with candles (bored waiting for husband to get home):

My birthday girl, now 11 years-old! If you're wondering what all that white stuff is (on her),

It's paint. She got an old dollhouse from our neighbor and she wanted to repaint it. If you think SHE was messy you should have seen what she did to my patio!! Oh wait, I have a photo of that, too:

All in all she had a good birthday. We had a party with a cake for her a few days later. The photos from that will be on facebook. Good day!
