Snapshot Sunday - The 'I dislike fall' edition

It's not that I *want* to dislike fall, but I do. I love the idea of fall, but the reality falls short too often in this neck of the woods.
This is NOT cool, crisp fall days that ease you into winter.

This is NOT driving along lanes of trees with leaves changing colors.

This is NOT wearing sweaters in preparation for a winter of heavy coats.

This is NOT the heady smell of the earth changing seasons.

What this is is me wishing for an Oklahoma summer. That's what this is.

I was seriously disheartened when I woke up this morning and saw this. It's 6:30 pm and it's still going strong.

How it began.

Snapshot Sunday 09-06-09

We're not at home this week, but I'm not comfortable taking snapshots of my mother-in-law's home. For one thing, it's not mine. For another, it would make me look bad. She's immaculate.

So here's us. Here. Trying not to take up too much space.

Tonight the girls and I escaped the house and had a 'Girls Night Out'. Our Snapshot Sunday today is brought to you by the Outback Steakhouse - all that was open at 8 pm on a Sunday.

Snapshot Sunday 08-02-09

I can't remember if I sent you over to look at the update on the baby bird we found on the ground. Did I? My brain's going in too many different directions these days. If I didn't, go here.

Now for snapshots.


Cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you have kids, go check this book out.

A present from a sister. It's apple butter, chokecherry syrup, blackberry syrup, and apricot syrup. A box full of the stuff.



This one ties into last week's snapshots.

I'm sorry I missed last week's Snapshots. Back on the wagon this week. Leave a comment if you have one to add or if you want me to link to your Snapshots from last week.


(it becomes obvious what this is in the last picture)



This last picture has a funny story. Ainsley decided to cut the hair on her dolls, so after she was done I lined them up and took a picture. They look darling, I think, in their hip new haircuts. I especially like the topless Joan Jett mermaid, second from the left.

After I took the picture I left them there. When I walked back by later, I saw a new arrangement.

Oh my.

How it began.
