The last supper....:(

Well, summer is officially over. Monday I register them for school. Trenton is in the 4th grade and Tucker is in 1st. Dear lord, where has the time gone? Today Rich and I overheard some girls at church talking about Trenton. Not in a bad way either! They were talking about how he looked different and wondered what he had done that made him look different. Sweet Jesus! Of course he was oblivious to them. We asked him about it and he said they do not like him, they never talk to him. Bless his heart. Tucker on the other hand, this morning in church Pastor asked what a "role model" was and he answered a girl. If I was Jewish I would say Oy! Whatever, I am going to say it anyway! OY!

Superhero Sunday School!

Today was the first Sunday school class for the 2009-2010 year. (yes someone actually trusts me to teach their child). We are doing superheroes of the bible. Moses, Jonah etc. We started off the year with the Armor of God. I do not think they really got it, they wanted to just put on the armor, not learn about it. We only have 1 girl, which is good for us, having 2 boys, girls, pink and froofroo just does not work for us. We have Caden in our class this year, which makes it great to see him and teach him about God's love and all the cool stuff that happens in this wonderful world he loaned us!

Holy Zucchini Batman!

So, thanks to my wonderful in-laws, we have enough zucchini to make SEVERAL loaves of zucchini bread. Saturday, while I was cleaning out the fridge (whole other story there) I decided to chop all of it before it went bad. While I am doing this I always think back on how people that lived in the 1800's or even in the early 1900's how in the world they canned, chopped and saved their food for the winter. My family would have starved. All of our crops would have probably gone to waste. It makes you really appreciate the soul that invented the food processor! God bless you!

Papers and Folders and Crayons...Oh My!

So, this weekend was the big tax free weekend. It actually should be called the "goose filled department store weekend", but I guess they may not get very many people.(or maybe they would?) Since the boys start back to school on Wednesday this was the time we needed to get all of their supplies, with everyone else in the city of Murfreesboro. I hope we got everything on the list. Every year I think, Ok next year I am going to buy a little each week throughout the summer. I never do though. Apparently, deep down I look forward to my "going back to school goose"!

Bigger is not always better....

Ok, so things only last about 12 years in the Gharing home. The lawnmower is the latest thing to go to the 12 year heaven. We borrowed my mothers John Deere lawn TRACTOR. That thing sucked. (or blew, being a lawnmower) I have never been so happy to get off something as I did that thing. It set up higher than our mower, so every tree I went under ripped my hair clip out. Not a good thing for someone that has the Tom and Jerry knots on the top of her head. It ran out of gas, guess where?? That's right under a tree. I was sweating bullets driving the thing. Why Rich took a picture of my ulcer moment is beyond me.... I should have just mowed over him!

Poor Ricky!

You know Rich is sick when he goes to the doctor. He came home from work and I made him an appointment to see someone today. He has a terrible sinus infection. They wanted to give him an antibiotic shot, but we all know how much he enjoys needles. (whatever) I hope you feel better honey....because you are a terrible patient! I love you though!

boys and their toys!

Notice all the drawings on the wall....those are driving me nuts!

Our boys change what they like on a daily basis. Since we visited grandma and Grandpa, Trenton has been into Larry boy. He wants to be Larryboy for Halloween, We have made many costumes out of old socks for Larryboy. This is Larryboys liar. We are not suppose to pick this up in the morning! Tonight when we got home, Trenton and Tucker were playing so good together. Their room was a mess, but they were having a fun time. I love those two. You can have the worst day and they will say something and it will melt all that tension away. We sometimes think what we did for the 3 years before we had kids. Our life was not as blessed I can tell you that!
