And they just keep getting older...



It's really hard to let the 7yo become an 8yo. I'd have loved to have kept him at 5, if truth be told. He just keeps on having birthdays.

This last week was a blur-o-birthday for H. I think it's finally out of his system and I would love nothing other to not leave the house for a week except for necessities.

I'm feeling really behind on stuff like laundry, general house cleaning, decluttering, and some projects I've been wanting to get done.

We were able to declutter his room before the influx of birthday booty invaded. It still feels like I've got a lot more to go.

The garden is looking a little tired from all the heat. The tomatoes are really redding up now. The zucchini has still only produced 2 full size zucchinis or would that be zucchini? I'm about ready to harvest my first red bell pepper and some eggplant. I have a bunch of dead heading to do on the "cosmos that ate my garden". Seriously, I have to post a photo of this thing. It was only supposed to get 18inches tall and it's easily 4 feet. I need to do something with some of the butternut squash start that needs to be planted. Maybe I'll just go stick it in the compost pile and let it take over....

Maybe you'll even get another post this week if I don't have to go anywhere....(:

That hair! Is that what's in style there these days. Boys here are into a pseudo mohawk thing that doesn't involve shaving the sides but does involve making the top come up to a point.

Happy Birthday, H!!
It's killing me to read about everyone's tomatoes ripening. We've got one plant that's almost ready, but the ones I started from seed are just setting tiny fruit. I hope a month or so is enough to do it!

What a treasure of a photo! It's pictures like that which make think scrapbook perfect. I just can't seem to do 'em though. I have too many other hobbies taking up space already.
Great shot!
