dreaming about everything in the american girl catalog on the trampoline.
scott is #80
scott played great in his first year of jr. high football.
it is pretty cool seeing him in those black and gold uniforms.
sean found this BIG bug in the yard and we watched it climb.
he went in and got an insect book but we couldn't find anything like it.
interesting.
craig and all his girls took the dog on a walk in the woods.
pretty porch pumpkins.
hot.
hot.
hot.
see….i told you it was a random post.
Jacci in Ohio - Well, I see that your womderful readers have already told you that Sean found a wheelbug. They’re one of the bugs in the “Assasin Bug” category. So fun to look at, but good thing he didn’t try to hold it 🙂
Erlita Fisher - Elisalou had a similar bug on her blog…
Looks perfectly Halloween-ish to me!

patty - what beautiful glimpses into life…
my daughter has already dog-eared the whole catalog and declared this coming xmas an”american girl christmas!”… for about a week, then she took it back.
oh to be young and full of dreams!
Mary - Ahhh . . . the american girl catalog.
I had as much fun as my daughter back in the days when we ordered those delicious accessories.
Christina - You’re so cute!
Sally H. - It’s a Wheel Bug, that huge hook thing can cause a bite that causes bit whelts. But they are not aggressive, and beautiful to look at. Isn’t nature fantastic!
aimee - i love random!! 🙂
elisa - Don’t research assassin bugs!
Jenn - Oh my gosh I totally used to dream over the American Girls catalog when I was little too. I remember saving for 2 years to buy Samantha… Ahhh, good memories. My mom still buys clothes for her at Christmas — 21 years later.
Heather - That is a wheel bug and they are rockin’ cool! Looks like a stegosaurus! We live in KS, too and we’ve been finding them in our front yard.
Mindy Harris - The Sean picture is precious. He still has a eensy bit of “baby” left in that purdy little face.
And Craig…*blushes*
Karen Greenfield - My daughter is 25 and I am 61 and we are right there with the American Girl catalog choosing, daydreaming, wishing I’d had it as a child…….which dolls do they have? I have Kirsten, Dinah has Flick (Felicity), Josefina, Addie and we inherited my Mother’s Molly when my Mom died. They are all looking forward to getting into their best outfits and sitting our for Christmas. xxKaren
Valerie - That’s why I come by to see what random thing you’ve posted today. Have a great weekend.
Blessings,
Valerie
karen - I just booked my family with a session with Blue Lily is Houston in May.
I knew you would understand how excited I am…my family is not too excited now but are in for quite a surprise!!!!
I can’t wait.
Cari - Sometimes randomness = awesomeness.
Oh, and if you see some weirdo continually clicking onto your site from the Little Rock area, don’t worry. It’s me. I’ve been enjoying going back to the beginnings of your blog whenever I get the chance. I’ve laughed and cried. Our stories are eerily similar.
Happy weekend!
Chelsea - We’ve always called those bugs “stink bugs”… They make a stinky smell like a skunk!
Staci - I love random 🙂
Jill - I’ll have to tell Sean that I’ve seen 2 of those same bugs at my house. Very weird looking!
a pocket full of posies - LOVE the apron!!! too fun!
Have a wonderful/fun weekend!
Blessings!
Jill
Rach - Sometimes random makes more sense to me. 🙂
Lisa - My girls have been carrying the American Girl catalog around for a week! My personal favorite…the $300 camper…sheesh.
*LuLu* - Say Hello To The Pancake King For Me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sugar Mama - You have just inspired me to take more every day photos…. the “just because” photos. They are always my favorites to look at!
Krista - Yikes! That is a Wheel Bug or an Assassin Bug!!! HATE THEM!! Luckily I didn’t find any this year, had lots last year.
Love Craig’s apron, did you make it? Cute stitching!
My girls also drool over the American Girl catalog. I am wondering if you have any at your house and how your girls take care of them. They’re a big investment, and though my daughter’s really begging for one, I am worried it will end up at the bottom of a pile of stuff in the play room and be forgotten. They’re still not understanding the concept of money, $100 and $1 are all the same to them!
Happy Weekend to you!
Tammy - I love your blog & love your random photos! Hope you have a great weekend!
Oh, and I love the ‘pretty porch pumpkins’!
Jennifer De Los Santos - In my attepmt to organize every minute, I constantly fail, and “randomness” happens. I am growing to love the random daily things that make me smile.
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - A man who cooks AND wears an apron IS hot, hot, hot!;) I love your random posts. Have a great weekend girlie.
sharron - I saw a commercial last night and it looked like your Annie!
Happy Random weekend!!!
jennifer - My daughter would love to be right there in the middle of that American Girl drool-fest. Too cute! And all those pumpkins on the porch are great! Love all the different colors and sizes.
Carly Winborne - i think it’s funny that your husband is wearing an apron that announces him as pancake king yet he’s making bacon. that just made me giggle.
Mary - Ok, so I was just informed by my hubs that “stinkbug” is not what this one is really called. That is just its nickname around here because when you kill one (yes, that sounds just bad when you type it) they smell like sour green apple.
Ok, thats all I got.
~mary~
Mary - I love your random posts! The pic of you and Talby in the car is my favorite. And isn’t that a Stinkbug??
~mary~
Kimberlee J. - That pancake king apron cracks me up!
tasha roe - random is good!
isnt that a stink bug?
Juli - I love the picture of you & Talby in the car-so Norman Rockwell. My 9 yr old has been pouring over the AG catalog too.
Keri @ Keri's Korner - I just love your pics. Even though they are random, they are great!!
Suzanne Speight - Can I just say that I love Waffle? I have even shown him to my husband, and sometimes I will see a dog that resembles him and yell, “Look, there goes a Waffle!” What kind of dog is he and does he shed? (I’m sure you answer this a lot, sorry)
Sarah - I used to do just what Talby and Annie are doing – I’d look through the American Girl catalog for hours! My friends and I would pretend we were the girls in the catalog – oh the memories! It’s good to see little girls haven’t changed all that much!
Crystal - Random is my favorite! How cool is it that Craig is “man enough” to sport that apron!! lol Have a great day!!!
Melanie - Sounds like a perfectly normal day:)
Holly - How do you get your husband to wear an apron? Mine just won’t. Great pics.
Tracy - LOL those are GREAT every day photos and Random is always interesting! Have a great day and a great weekend, Meg! :O) xoxoxo
Liza - Aloha – The bug Sean found is called a Wheel Bug. Visit Whatsthatbug.com for great info on all sorts of winged, crawly and creepy things.
Happy random time from the land of Aloha ~
Julie - Random is where the good stuff of life is ~ it’s the not planned, just living stuff. Like it!
Jenni Carlisle - I {heart} random. Love your porch pumpkin patch. We use to have the plates your Hubs is holding in the last pic. How’s that for random? Have a fab weekend!
Taking Heart - I love random little notes in between the random photos… very… random.
Have a great weekend!!!
