Please be patient I don't have the video camera I want yet. But this is what my kids live for after each football game. This video features my kiddos and our neighbors who shall remain nameless here. Visit their family blog here . OH and don't forget to comment on the 200th post to be entered to win I will be closing it at midnight tonight and announcing the winner tomorrow!!

These apples equal 200 calories. But I am offering something that is completely calorie free! "My 200th post giveaway!" So I totally just skipped over my 200th post like it was NOTHING!! Hello! And because I also spaced my 100th post I am going to do a 200th post (okay 201th post give away) I dont' have a picture of it yet but I promise it will include hand made goodies from Close To My Heart (made by ME of course) and I am certain that it will contain some pampering items and a gift card to Target. So to be entered once leave a comment here! For a bonus entry go here and start a discussion you think others might want to comment on! You must live in the continental US because shipping will break me!! Best of luck! This giveaway will be closed on Wednesday September 30th! So comment NOW!!!! These are some of the cards I will be giving away. They come in bunches of 4 or 5 so YOU have more to give away!

I have THIS So I haven't been doing much of THIS But here is a picture of some pretty cute kids. I am really trying to edit my photos more. Let me know what you think. Katie was clearly more interested in pulling grass but the rest of the gang is pretty cute. Of course I am biased!

So I was going to do a fabulous post about something ingenious but I just annoyed my time share company sales rep because I decided I couldn't justify spending $10,000 to up my "plan" and now my mind is blank so I will share a photo with you that might make you laugh or cry or report me! Either way I hope my daughter will forgive me when she is a teenager.

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama . You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. I am not known for my domestic skills. I admit it so I certainly did not purchase several pounds of corn on the cob with the intention of freezing for the winter. And I certainly did not have three young children (all of which are mine) help me to husk all of this corn. They certainly did NOT enjoy helping. I did not bottle 6 quarts of tomato juice and 6 quarts of homemade salsa. And of course I did not freeze these 6 bags of corn. That just wouldn't be anything like me!
