A Message to My Mother and Mother-in-law

I laughed this morning as I woke up and realized that even though I had taken yesterday's pic., I hadn't posted it yet..........knowing full well you two would notice immediately. Sure enough, my mother called and said, "you didn't post to your blog".......I laughed and said, "you sound like my mother in law"..............I then check my email, and guess who asked where my post was? You got it!!!! Sue!!! As you two are not only the most faithful blog readers I have, you may be the ONLY ones I have............................I will post better knowing my "fans" are waiting for the next installment of "diland" with baited breath.

love,
Di

Lazy Rainy Saturday

This is where I caught these two Freshman (they have been best friends since 2nd grade) on a lazy rainy Saturday afternoon. They are looking for somebody to either take them to the mall or 7-11 for slurpees..........T. obliged and even took them later to the Riverside for burgers. What a life!!

J. At The Helm

At least he is at the helm in the second pic............ I took the first one of us... It's Friday, it's late, I'm tired and he is concerned asking me, "what are you going to do for your blog?"....He is such a help.

Dinner............still.

We all came home tired and hungry.....................and Chris surprised us with a fire in the pit and hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill......

Dinner

Dinner has been a big issue this week at our house..............not the food itself.............Sunday I made almond encrusted chicken cutlets with a cream sauce....................Monday I did a roast with mashed potatoes and broccoli.................Tuesday was Chili with chips and there were also a pie and some brownies thrown in there along the way............The problem isn't the food, it is the people. Getting this bunch to sit down together is the first problem.. Chris needs to eat the minute he gets home.............can hardly wait...........the kids are in lacrosse, after school, etc. and don't get home some nights till 6:30...........Tonight was leftover night.....perfectly good leftovers as you can see from my list .........but as you can see from the picture above.......the boys had to make a Burger King run..............and E. ran in from lacrosse just in time to run back out to Young Life Club..............telling me she was hitting McDonald's afterwards..............Ugh!!!

Sweet Boy

Rub A Dub Dub

J.'s in the tub.............It was so beautiful today..................I ran, T. and E. had lacrosse practice and J. played outside at after school for quite awhile........His head was actually sweaty when I picked him up. Is winter over? What little winter we actually had this year? Who knows!
