mid september doings


these might be the two cutest baby boys ever(that means emmett is REALLY cute because ezra definitely has the unfair advantage of being mine)
and this stud(chris, my now 18 year old brother) is getting way too old for my liking
 
this is us just yesterday...
 and what better excuse than a birthday to stuff your face with chocolate cake(good choice chris)... 
and get in a little train time.
saturday was garden overhaul day(and disappointing carrot day)
                                         
VERY disappointing.  they've been in the ground practically all summer and i just think our dirt is not airy or nitrogen rich enough
 sweet potatoes
 we have a new neighbor next door, so i decided to remove our giant squash plant from her yard(which she was too nice to ask us about).  the people who lived there before her have been letting us use the garden bed adjacent to ours which is now hers.  i'm not really sure these are butternut although that's what they are most similar to.  i thought spaghetti squash at first until they weren't turning yellow.

 
i guess i should have taken a before picture so you could see the difference but it was embarrassingly overgrown...  one of our tomato plants is 6 feet long!
 these are all the tomatoes that FELL OFF as i re-staked the tomato plants(in my new/old orange pyrex bowl... an exciting recent thrift store find!).  AND I WAS CAREFUL! we are going to be swimming in them soon! 
 bell pepper flower
 
 tomato flower
 
 
 groundhog strikes again.
 sarah and pedro are having a girl soon!
 i think she should have an apple hat.
 i love sewing/cutting terry cloth because it gives me an excuse to NOT vacuum until i'm totally done!
 more wipes for ezra
early birthday present from laurie(yay for storage!)... she knows me!
