lisa mcgarvey asked the GGs to share real life shots of their houses today. so here is mine. command central. where all the papers, mail, and shtuff goes in my house. the counter right next to the kitchen sink.

didnt clean it up for you. thats how it always looks. usually, much messier.

its fun to have a glimpse into the home of someone you know-especially when you have never been to their house. i know i am guilty of looking behind the main focus of most pictures to try to get a view of what was behind it in the house. i love looking at the little things people put in their houses.

just sumpin kinda fun.

on one of the presidential birthdays (and no school days) i met up with sharla, erin, carole, and stacey at a park in between where we live. (those not pictured: christine, sheridan, celestial-the only one without a blog)

there were 16 kids between us. (if everyone would have been there, there would have been 23 1/2-celestial is pregnant) 16 kids, between the ages of 16(17?) to 1. five mommies. one dog. lots of mcdonalds. treats. mckenna in the mens bathroom moments. lots of laughs. lots of pictures. lots of fun.

it makes me miss the old days-the old days when most of us had toddlers and nothing else on our plates. when we would stay on the phone all day or scrapbook all day while the babies watched movies and crawled on us. taking turns nursing on the couch. when there was no school, no routine, no extracurricular activities to keep us away from each other. and it makes me excited for the day when we are all old biddies. and we have time for each other once again.

i have had so many requests to bring back my photo of the day feature on the blog.

so i went through this morning and took it back into november. and put it right back up.
