we have been so busy since thursday you wouldnt even believe it. we took these pics on thursday at circle monument in indianapolis, then after an hour or so of fun dragged the boy off to see daddys new school where he was forced to endure an hour and a half of shushing and being grabbed by the arm and made to walk,not run down the hall to the potty.
he did do his very best to follow directions though and although he was threatened with a swat when he started getting an attitude (yep, folks i swat my kid on the bottom when he needs it) he straightened up and it didnt have to come to that.then daddy went to sit in on a class and then came the exciting part we got to walk around k-mart for and hour. fun stuff, actually i love looking at all the martha inspired stuff they carry. the boy was enamored with a reclining foldable lawn chair (why do i even buy toys?) and fussed when it was time to pick up daddy, but he was hungry and the promise of lemonade and a tortilla (?) got him moving.
friday, i went and got a Ds teen babysitter and spent the day running errands. saturday, i dont even know where that went! but i baked zuchini bread and then yesterday, it was time to tackle the laundry mountain, scrape the remaining wallpaper off the bathroom walls (thanks honey) and go to a kids first birthday party (hey at least they fed us) so crazy weekend! oh and i forgot went to biglots and found a rug that i loved, it matched nothing in my house but it would match
liz's curtains perfectly.

a table garden, located on second street, which i have always found interesting 
these last two are both of the lanier mansion "the jewel in madison's crown" it is touted. we took the tour of the home while my parents were visiting, it was awesome
so raise your hand if you want to live here! (the town i mean, not the mansion.)
see this outfit? i cannot get the boy to wear this! and he is so not picky about his clothes. i did trick him into wearing it ONE time i waited until we were about to walk out the door the got him dressed quickly and talked to him the whole time so he wouldnt realize what he was wearing until it was too late but he was so cute.
we stopped in to mudcat pottery during the art jam on friday night. after marveling at all the beautiful colors and designs we were treated to a demonstration by mrs. y, the creator this oiginal, unique pottery.
i love this tray!
i have had this ever since i can remember. shes had a ripped seam for 25 years and today she got repaired! if she could speak she would say " YAY", either that or "its about dang time"
do you see this! what am i going to do with this much squash and zuchini? im gonna be a zuchini bread making fool. these came from my co worker jim's wifes garden, she plants a ton every year and if we dont take what he brings then he throws them in the compost heap! i couldnt bear to see any of these wonderful veggies wasted so i took them all(after everyone else had a chance of course). now i have to figure out what to do with them all. im not kidding when i say i have a whole laundry basket full.
