Girls Trip Part 2: Home Sweet Home

At the ripe old age of 15 I started my first job (at my uncle's store)

He sold penny candy, there were a lot of kids with dollars...it was hell

There was a tv in the back and I ate tons of penny candy :)

My elementary school complete with K-4 classes, a gym, and nurses office :)

My niece Isabelle holding a "wild" apple

Views from around my neck of the woods

There is something about a plowed corn field in the fall....

A bee hive we found on our country drive

Cows (did I mention I grew up on my grampa's Dairy farm?)

I may have moved to a "city" but I'm still a country girl at heart

What Time is It?

One of my favorite things to do is ask Emma,"what time is it?" And sometimes we will ask each other and she will jump in with an answer. Here are some of her answers from yesterday.

"Ten-forty"

"ten to nine"

"$9.99"

"5 more minutes"

and my personal favorite

"time to party"

Wordless Wednesday

Another Day, Another Playground

Emma and I have started a new quest. To find and play on as many playgrounds as possible. Today I took her to one she has been dreaming of for a very long time (we pass it on our way to Walmart). There isn't any shade so we had to hold out until we had today's beautiful fall weather.

She loves to climb and is now very brave..

She is a "big slide" junkie.

"follow me mom!"

"come on mom!"

Second only to the slide is climbing

This smile melts my heart

She will swing on anything (and everything)

I love how happy she is in this picture

It's okay. Not everyone is a morning person....
