96 ropes of Laffy Taffy from Sam’s Club minus 76 regular (one serving) trick-or-treaters minus 4 (double serving) trick-or-treaters minus Lloyd and Lauren each eating one equals 10 left over. Yet I only have nine. Hmmmm…… Halloween is over and done. I was exhausted by 8:30 and was ready for bed by 9. Best moment […]

Saturday Mess
October 30, 2009

Thanks, Brad, for giving me the courage to show my messes. It’s too late tonight to do the thousand photos of the many, many messes around here, but I can share with you some pictures that I’ve taken every so often of the counter by my computer. Unless Lloyd cleans it, there is always stuff […]
