11/5/08-Long time

So it's been awhile since I posted anything. Nothing really new going on. I've been sick since Saturday with a cold so I really haven't felt like doing anything. The most I did last weekend was laundry. The weather has been just beautiful. It's been 70 the last few days but it's suppose to start dropping again by Saturday it should be our normal November weather.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!

10/13-What a wonderful weekend

So this weekend we went to the Cross Country Invitational. We had such gorgeous weather (see picture).

Then we went to a couple pumpkin festivals on Sunday. We went to Peak N Peek (a ski lodge) and rode the ski lift and checked out their arts & crafts and car show. Then left there and went to a pumpkin farm in Waterford. I miss Finney's so much. It was free and there was always something for everyone. Waterford was ok but we had to pay to get in and it was oriented more towards kids. Not a lot of fall arrangements and no gift shop (like Finney's). The kids had a ball at both so that was worth it. The pictures at the top are from the ski lift. These pictures really doesn't do the colors justice. (I can't get them larger sorry).

Have a great weekend everyone!

10/8/08-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is my husband's birthday. The kids and I made a cake with his favorite frosting and we will be ordering his favorite pizza tonight for supper. Tonight is our busy night so we'll be running around and passing each other on the way in/out the door.

Next Thursday is our Anniversary. 15 years. I cannot believe it. It has gone by so fast.

Well that's all for now. I will be working on some layouts for my crop on 10/18. With the registration fee they will get a free 1 page layout to work on. I will have everything cut out and all they will have to do is assemble it.

Also Oh My Crafts website is having a sale only good today, take an extra 20% off your total order - which a lot of things are already on sale. the coupon code is SWS20.

Have a good rest of the week!!

9/24-Another week gone!

I thought I would've had some page layouts to post this weekend but that didn't happen. I cleaned my house and did laundry. It was a good weekend but I didn't get any "fun things" done.

I have my club this Friday and Saturday and then my son has Punt, Pass, and Kick on Saturday. The weather has been so nice I hope it holds out.

Again I've been running here and there. Flag football has started so I have been running my son there 2 days a week and then my daughter has dance on Wednesday's so my Wednesday's will consist on running kids to where they need to go. Things will slow down just as Cross Country season comes to a close (for those of you who don't know my husband coaches cross country) when my husband could help running kids here and there.

Next Saturday (10/4) is Applefest in Franklin. Lots of things going on then. We'll be there bright an early to watch my husband run the 5k race. I love this time of year, the leaves are starting to change, and the fall decorations are starting to appear.

Hope everyone has a great week! Hopefully I'll post something this weekend.

9/16-UUUUGGGGHHH

So hurricane Ike decided to swing by Sunday night leaving a bunch of us here powerless. We haven't had electric since Sunday night around 9PM when we were in the middle of watching the Steelers game. So far it's been a challenge. We are out of water, I think my fridge food is gone it smelt a little funny this morning, and I have a headache on top of it all. I called the insurance company to start a claim on the fridge stuff. I have to take inventory on that tonight, just want I want to do. Jeff has a XC meet tonight so the kids and I are headed to that right after work/school. It's in Titusville so no traveling involved. Griffin starts flag football tomorrow, Taylor has dance, I have class-ugh does the madness ever end. We don't have plans this weekend so it looks like grocery shopping and cleaning my fridge are on my agenda, along with laundry. Should I say I'm looking forward to the weekend? What a mess!!! Life has to get better doesn't it. I do have to say though, I NEVER want to be in a hurrican. The winds were the worst I have ever seen them on Sunday night. It never rained until much later and it was 80 degrees at 9PM. The trees whipping around were very scarey and we didn't even have half the winds that Texas did, but I wouldn't live in a hurricane area. Too scarey.

I have been reading with the electric being out. I am hooked on a series of murder mysteries by Hunter Morgan. I am on the last one and hope I find out who the murder is. Also reading a boring VC Andrews book and I am on the 3rd book of the series Stephanie Plum by Janet Evanovich. So yes, I am reading 3 books right now.

Well, I'm going back to work now. Hope everyone else is having a better week than I am.

Here's the other side of the room. We sure do know how to make a mess, but at least it's an organized mess.

9/10-HOLY COW

I cannot believe it has been since August that I've posted anything. What is wrong with me!! I'll tell you-LIFE. Since school has started it has been nothing but run, run, run. Tuesday school started, trying to get back into the routine of things. Wednesday after work I got my nails done, Thursday got my hair done, Friday I packed up and left for my retreat and didn't get home until Sunday afternoon. Then I had to catch up on lots of sleep but the phone wouldn't let me! Which takes me to a new work week. Now my exercise classes have begun at the YMCA so I'm there Monday and Wednesdays. Taylor starts dance on Wednesdays now. Starting next week Griffin starts flag football. So that leaves me Thursday to get caught up on things and Friday to relax and Saturday and Sunday to do laundry. I'm tired just typing all this and the weeks not even over yet.

Saturday I'm headed to Erie with my friend Karen to a Crop for a Cure fundraiser for cancer. Lisa (the I'm going to pull an all nighter and drive to Erie girl) Mullen is holding the crop and she plans on doing some neat stuff to honor those who have survived or those we've lost from cancer. I'm hoping to finishing my Disney scrapbook this weekend. I doubt that will happen. I've been working on it since January of 08 when we went.

Here are some pictures from the retreat. Enjoy! (I'm having some difficulties getting my pictures uploaded. I'll try more later)
