The Praying Plank

I have visited my doctor lately to see why I am going CRAZY!  Who knew, that is what happens when you get older.  Her suggestion, start taking my vitamins again and get back to exercising.  Ok.  I already knew that I should do that but it made a difference when a professional told me that I had to. 

So I have.  Tonight I was about a minute into my second plank and Ellis joined me.  His comment was, "We should pray during our plank instead of count."  Before I could even comment, he started praying.  It was the most peaceful and fulfilling plank I have ever done and will ever do. 

My cup runneth over.

I now pray within all my planks. 
You are all in my praying planks. 
much love.....

My Monster Garden

I really can't believe that the last time I have blogged was in September.  Time really does fly. 
Quick recap of October:
1.  I am almost adjusted to working full time. 
2.  The family is almost adjusted to me working full time. 
3.  The "extra help" that Brad promised has almost fizzled out.
4.  We have been focusing on some home improvements lately to try to beat the snow fall.
                     We almost made it.
5.  Kids are BUSY!  Drama club,cornet lessons, guitar lessons, jazz band, wrestling, cross country, wrestling, family time.

Ok, feel caught up?
Now that I feel that I have justified my lack of blogging...
Here is what we are up to now.

I want to address my sibling's incredible gardening abilities.  They have both blogged recently about their
awesome and monsterous produce.  Well, I live in Alaska and have no desire to grow a monster cabbage or broccoli.  Also, we spend our 2 months of our very short growing season, in the lower 48.  So the hopes of a garden here is slim to none.  I'm ok with this.  I have a monster garden of my own.  Enjoy my monster garden.

Add a ninja and I have a whole garden of my very favorite monsters!





Celie did not want to touch the pumpkin guts.  Can a lip get more pouty than that?

Thanks for visiting my garden!  Happy harvest.
