the boys next door

we moved into our house in the summer of 1999. the family next door had two little boys, ages seven and ten.  they used to come over several times everyday and ask if they could swim.  
now they're all grown up and I hardly ever see them.  the boys never come over to ask if they can swim.  over the Christmas break, their mother asked if I would come over and take some family pictures.  one of them did make an appearance at our New Year's Eve party, which made me very happy.  here is a picture of the boys next door.

little boys

with messy faces
(i love them so)

It's Tuesday!

Vacation's O-VER.
The kids are all back at school
(except the college student, he's still asleep)
Dub's off to the west coast...
and me?
I've had my breakfast dessert
(last night's FHE treat leftover brownies)
and now I'm GOING.BACK.TO.BED.

New Year's 'Stache Bash 2012

New Year's Eve is always a party.
This year we pumped up the volume:
a THEME party.
 mustache cookies
and
some sweet facial hair accoutrements
 eventually everyone caught on... wear it, then EAT it!  The mustachioed rolls were fresh out of the oven
 I was complemented several times on how natural my 'stache looked on me.
(Is that good?!?)
 no face was left clean shaven.
 the whipped cream mustaches were a little tastier than their furry counterparts
if you weren't with us this year, we're going to make you an offer you can't refuse:
JOIN US FOR New Year's 2013!

Happy Happy 2012!!

bare feet, chaos and all...
(much more to come)
