Holiday's Ahoy!

I am super excited because my favorite time of year has just arrived. Cool weather, a warm fire, a good book, and lots of family and food! Who doesn't like the autumn? With all the events closing in on us (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Gun's 2nd birthday, and Christmas) my plate is definitely full not to mention I plan on making my Christmas cards this year, bake day, and homemade Christmas presents! Sheesh...good thing I already have my Christmas cards designed. Now I just need the pictures for the cards.

My brother turned 20 today...holy crap I can't believe my little brother is 20! Probably because he still acts 14 but I think it is genetic...it definitely runs in the family! I still picture him running around outside barefoot in that fringed leather vest and shorts. What a dork! Wish I had a picture of that...hum...I bet I can did one up...wait till you see this!

Ice Cream with Daddy

How sweet is he! It is kinda funny though...he doesn't really like the actual ice cream as much as the cone. In fact he likes it if you eat all the ice cream on top and just leave what is in the cone! My kind of sharing!

Good God!

Lately I have been busy, busy, busy! I have just finally gotten all of Adam and I's stuff rounded up for Financial Aid Verification and Admissions...good god is that a process. First off you are always selected for verification...why do they even say it is random, I have never known anyone that was not selected for verification...and then you have to request official copies of all your transcripts which you can't do verbally...you have to fill out this form and then pay them anywhere from 5 to 10 dollars! How ridiculous...I paid how much in tuition and you want $5 for transcripts....whatever.
On top of all that I am trying to get ready for this crop that I am throwing on Friday...looks like it might be successful so cross your fingers. Then there is the Sportsman Show at the end of September! I have been trying to get some stuff crossed off my to-do list but I just seem to be adding to it! Guess that's life.

Busy Beginnings

August...already there is a ton of stuff to do this month and Gunnar is not even close to being old enough to think about starting school. The fair starts this week, we have a lot of stuff to get ready before Sumpter, I am hosting a crop on the 20th, and I was hoping to get some canning done this month. I guess it doesn't sound like a lot but it really is. Well, lets hope that I can get it all done! But first I think I will spend some good quality Sunday time on my couch. Love that Sunday flop time.
