When Luke left for college Benjamin moved into Luke's old room.  Now Isaac has his own room!  He hadn't had a change to get things organized so this evening I helped him a little.  I think he is happy with the results.  :)




Cool little street sweeper guy. :)

:D Have a good night everyone!

New Project :)

This morning I took Rachel and Isaac to the flea market, then to the Shelby airport for their fly in and open house.  After we looked around at the airport we headed home...stopping at a few yard sales on the way.  :D  When we got back I grabbed the camera for a few pics.  :D


I told Isaac this was going on my blog/facebook and he said he didn't care.  :D


Rabby is a mess!  She got this hat at the flea market and then when we got to the airport they were giving out balloons.  She tied her balloon to her hat and it looked really cute, and the literally right as I got the camera to take the pic....she popped it accidentally.  Poor Rabbykinz.


She's so cute <3


I'm pretty much the most sympathetic person you will ever meet....JK!!!!  :D


Isaac had been looking and looking for something to get at a yard sale...we kept stopping and he kept not finding anything.  He found these "Txting Kills" rings and he said I needed one....I have NO idea why he might think that.  :-O  hehe.


Don't text and drive.  It kills.  (OK, this picture even sorta scares ME)


This is Rabbykinz little pumpkin.  Her name is Jenny.  We found her three cute little dresses at a yard sale.  Gotta love those yard sales.  :)



Now Jenny has a little outfit that matches Mommy's favorite shoes.  :)

Well, I hope you enjoyed sharing in my morning!  Have a WONDERFUL weekend!  :)

Exciting Day =D

This morning Susie and I made and canned salsa! 


So, what's wrong with this picture?  No, it's not the fact that there is actually a jalapeno in my Mom's kitchen.  No, it's the fact I'm actually working.  No, it's not the fact Isaac is taking a picture with Susie's picture.  It's the fact that I'm cutting up a hot pepper WITHOUT GLOVES!!!!  Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bad Lizzy!!!  A word to the wise (and the not so wise!), always wear gloves when you are cutting up peppers.  Another word to the not so wise...if you forget to wear gloves here are a few things that help...soak your hand in milk...this will help the redness and burning on the outside...I tried SEVERAL other things including rubbing alcohol, vegetable oil, vitamin E oil, flour (to draw out the oil????), vinegar, honey and cold water....NONE of these things helped.  After soaking my hand in milk for awhile the redness went away and my actual skin felt better, but it still felt like my hand was ON FIRE from the inside out!  What I finally did that helped (and I'm going to give a disclaimer; this is prob not safe, but I was DESPERATE for relief and willing to try anything) was I soak my hand for about 30 seconds in a 3/4 bleach 1/4 water solution.  IT HELPED.  I learned my lesson!!!  Anyway...on to less painful subjects.  :)


Yummy!!!  :D


Susie was a BIG help!  I was going to cut everything up myself, but she insisted on helping!  I wasn't going to argue!  She knew my carpal tunnel was already flairing up and all that cutting wouldn't help it any!


Sweet onions.  :D


It looks so innocent!!!  We know that it's not so innocent!!! 
BTW, the pepper pics were just taken randomly before I knew what they were doing to me! :D


Almost finished! 

It was a fun morning (until the burning sensation kicked in :D) and I'm really thankful for Susie's help in getting everything finished up while I was trying desperatly to find some relief.  :D  My family asked tonight if my hand was still on fire....I told them it was just smoldering now.  That's kinda what it feels like too!  Weird....:D

Anyway, I'm going to go JOURNAL now....:D :D :D
