30 DAY MIDDLE EARTH CHALLENGE!!!!

                        
 
 
Kiri Liz and Melody are having a perfectly delightful challenge!
 
What: A 30 Day Middle-Earth Challenge
 
Who: Everyone is invited to participate (even if you don't feel like doing the entire challenge, or if you don't have a blog)!


Where: On Lianne Taimenlore  blog and her excellent friend Melody's blog , The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls

When: The entire month of November, from the 1st all the way to the 30th

Why: A few months ago, they came across a picture on Pinterest of a 30 Day Lord of the Rings Challenge, and we both decided that they'd love to be able to do something like that. However, at the time, they were both too busy to do anything with that idea, so they swapped a few emails and decided to wait until the great month of November, in preparation of The Desolation of Smaug coming out in theaters in December, and that instead of only doing LOTR things, they'd incorporate all things Hobbit as well as the rest of Middle-Earth just because we love all of it. They'd to see you join us! 
 
"Your posts don't have to be very long or complicated.  In fact, most of the time, a simple picture or quote will meet the day's challenge.  Of course, if you'd like to go into more detail, please do!  We will enjoy reading your posts no matter how long or short, elaborate or brief."
 
The only rule they have for you is simply to mark all of the posts you do for the challenge with a 30 Day Middle-Earth Challenge tag and share the link either with one of them on their blogs, Kiri Liz at Lianne Taimenlore, or on Melody's blog, The Splendor Falls. This is to simplify matters when they post the link-up at the end of the month, it's easy to put everyone together. 
 
Check out their blog for more details!!
 
CAN'T WAIT!!!!
 
Thanks Melody and Kiri Liz!!

Life......in pictures! (Old forgotten post....)

 
We were just going through our drafts and realized that this never posted.
(October post)
 
 
Life has been busy (what else is new?). =D
Here is a few pictures to sum it all up.
WARNING: Picture overload. =D
 
 
This picture doesn't begin to describe the sunset that night!
 
Neither does this one!

Yes, more kittens!
Mom went for a walk a few week ago, and found these five little kittens abandoned on our street.
They were COVERED in flea eggs and flea poop.
The one that you can barely see in the corner died just after we brought her home. :(
 
We named them: Girls: Mary, Laura, and Carrie. Guys: Fili and Kili
Left to Right:
Carrie, Fili, Laura, Mary, and Kili
 
 
We decided to keep one of them, and give three away, but the only one people wanted was Kili, so we ended up keeping Fili, Mary and Carrie.


Here is the "family" picture! =D Since we have a small farm most of the cats are outside, but we brought them in for a picture! =D
Left to Right:
Abigail; then all the cats: Windy, Nebula, Thomas, Mary, Fili, Oreo, Carrie, Misty, and Honey.
(Kitty is next to Abigail, but just out of the picture)

Here they all are again, but Kitty is in her too. =D 
 
Here are the "partners in crime" Carrie and Mary. We had to put a collar around Carrie, so we could tell them apart. They are identical!!
They are almost inseparable too!

Carrie and Mary.

Then we did a mini photo shoot of Hannah and Ruth

Our brother Joel told us about this AWESOME music site!
All you have to do is put your name and e-mail, and it is totally free!
You can look up almost any music! It is so much fun!
It is called Spotify.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, (!!!!!) Celtic Violin.

Here are the partners in crime!

(No, the chair is not on top of her, she is just fluffy! :) )
 
 
There have been a few competitive games of Skip-bo in our house ;)


 

Carrie!

At our house we kids earn our Christmas money by picking up walnuts!
It is super fun, and the younger kids get an experience working for money.
This is our first load of 1300+ pounds.

 
 
Walnuts on the ground!



 
LOVE the smell of walnuts!!

 
More walnuts!

and more!
