I Spy a Mess

or 
What Happens When Your Office is Getting Recarpeted,  

You Visit Your Parents Who are Cleaning Out Their Attic, 

and the Christmas Ads are Flooding the Mailbox



Can You Find?

1. A notebook that Ward and I use to "organize" our life

2. The new cardboard box that all of the cats like to chew on.

3. A 10 # garden basket used by my father to put tomatoes in.

4. DVDs of my favorite show on TV Land.

5. Suet that needs to be put out in the second suet feeder.

6. The ads that have come in the mail over the last three days.

7. A PVC pipe book-holder that was an "invention" Wally made in fourth grade.

8. Books ready to be delivered to an ailing friend.

9. The basketball Wally and Theo played with at their grandparent's house.

10. The boxes I hope to have sorted and processed by Thursday.

  1. I love seeing your cats in pictures, even if they're surrounded by mess :) Our house is a mess at the moment too, and I wish I could use Mr Omnivore's hospital visit as an excuse, but it usually looks like that!

    1. What I find about our messes, is that when I'm really tired or we have something else important going on, they don't bother me as much (unless they last for weeks.) Is that how it is for you?

  2. I was wondering what the pipes were from. I was imagining they came from a home improvement project, and that seemed very extremely frugal to me, to save old piping from a project.

    When my son was about 4 we made him a "building set" from PVC pipes and connectors. He had a great time assembling life-size projects with the pipes.

    1. I like to pull them apart and reassemble PVC pipes too. I bet they made a great building set.

      This stand has come in handy many times. I use it sometimes on my desk at work. The boys made them for Christmas one year as gifts.

  3. This looks like my house last week :) That's why I have no Christmas decorations yet :)

    1. I haven't had a chance to move into the Christmas season either. Soon enough, though.
