Thinking.. and processing

I've been sitting at my computer since around 5:30 and uploading photos to be processed to make my son's graduation book.  So may thoughts go through your mind when you sit idle.. ok.. so many thoughts go through MY mind as I sit idle.  After 4 hrs and 20 minutes of going through photos.. memories.. past times.. my kids growing up.. AND LIVING.. all I can do is smile.  Then my thoughts run to OMG how am I ever going to scrapbook ALL these pictures... really... you have to know my youngest child to fully understand that thought... he is in everything.. he is involved, he has fun he LIVES.  My mind races through the memories as I flip through the folders.. all by date, all in order.  Yes, memories.. we've created many of them.  Lessons.. we've had those too.  And in my ADD stage, my mind races to all the things I want to create with these photos and memories and I get ahead of myself... because you see now my wedding photos are being uploaded (nearly a year since the wedding and I still haven't given any out.. eek) and I think of the albums I want to create with those.. I want them to be as special as the memories.. as the moments... can time stand still??  Even long enough for me to get all these racing thoughts to slow down... I want to re-live them.. and in those moments of re-living I want to add to them!!!  Of course we know that's impossible.. but stepping forward to make just as many wonderful memories as I store in these folders is right before me.. and it makes me proud when I can flip through the pages.. the pages created to tell the story.. the story of life.. because we have lived!!!!!

We've got pumpkins!!!

In the last few weeks we've noticed around town that there is corn growing everywhere.  A stalk here and a stalk there... we've figured out due to the storm it's blown around alot of things and corn just started where ever the seeds landed. 

Yesterday we had the grandkids over and noticed a plant in the corner of our lot.. we walked over to check it out and we found a plant FULL of pumpkins.  I know it's a little late in the season, but we'll let them keep growing and see what we end up with... this may be fun!

Aint they cute???
