Lest you think things are always peachy keen over at our place...
Hello sweet bloggy friends...

Thank you for the many sweet comments about my family photos. I especially liked those comments wondering if I took the photos or if I had a photographer do it.

I wish I was organized enough to have thought about a professional photographer. But I couldn't even remember to tell everyone to pack white shirts. So, we did the best we could and I snapped those photos with my own little fingers.

I had to let the white shirt thing go.

I reasoned that if we use the pictures for Christmas it will be nice to have a little red and yellow in them anyhow.

Or, we'll have them printed in black and white and then who will even notice.

With 5 kids, I just can't get all caught up with those kinds of details.

I also liked the references to how it appears my kids just love each other so much and must get along wonderfully all the time.

Hmmmmmffff!

That's the funny thing about pictures.

We capture a few moments of bliss and then life happens.

My kids do get along pretty well but they are so far perfect.

Hence the photo of the target bag full of weeds at the top of this post. When bad attitudes abound, the kids sporting the 'tudes are each handed a plastic sack and told to go fill it with weeds.

Let's just say that our yard looks mighty nice.

It works.
