It's almost over....

It is Saturday and my fall break is almost over. I only have one more day and I have to take Kaitlyn to her grandmother for a visit.

Today Kaitlyn and I cleaned out her closet and straightened everything up. We moved things in her closet so that now she can reach her clothes and hang them up without help. She also decided that she doesn't need. Now I just have to finish straightening up the storage room so that I can get everything in it.

Kaitlyn had a soccer game today and they won again. Her team has not lost a game yet... and today probably would have been one that could have been lost. I am glad she is having fun playing soccer and loves playing it too.

Day 4....

Today we went to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun! We loaded up on wagons being pulled by a tractor for a hay ride through the fields, barn, creek and then on the field with the pumpkins. The kids (10 from Will's daycare) got off the wagon and then ran for the pumpkins. Will picked up a fairly good size pumpkin and then found one for me. It was so cute watching him run all over the field with his friends. We then were taken by wagon to the barn where there were farm animals to pet, corn to play in, and a maze. There was also hayrolls to climb on and story time. We then had the kids faces painted and then had lunch. We got back to the daycare just in time for nap time.

Now Will is napping at home and I am resting. I never knew how tiring it would be to chase 10 little ones around.

Tomorrow is the homecoming parade. I have told the daycare that I will help with the little ones again tomorrow, but I think they may leave two of the smallest ones at the daycare tomorrow.


And I will post new pics just as soon as I get off the recliner.

Day 3....

ok so it is raining.... I'm not really bummed about missing out on the pumpkin patch since we REALLY! need the water. So now the trip will be tomorrow. So now I have the day to finish working on my house.... yesterday I got almost all the laundry done and put away. Will's room is straight (just need to go back and make the bed), Kaitlyn's room looks better but it isn't finished. I need to clean out her closet and get things put back in order. I also need to straighten the living room and clean off the kitchen table. I also still need to work in the storage room and get it cleaned out. I also need to go to my mom's and straighten the upstairs for them.... They have a prospective buyer coming tomorrow to check out the house.

Today I will be going to eat lunch with Kaitlyn.... Don is doing Fire Prevention with her school today so there is a chance that we both can eat lunch with her today. I would pick her up at school but I can't find my pickup card that you must have to pick her up.

We are heading to my MIL's this afternoon. Will said he wanted to see Granny and Great-grandma is there too so it will be fun to go see both of them and Neal.


Ok off to clean yet again.... I have about 30 minutes to clean before needing to leave for lunch.

Day two...

It is day two of my fall break.... and so far I have a mountain of clean clothes to fold and the dishwasher emptied and loaded back up. I have an appointment to get my hair cut this afternoon. I still need to clean the rest of the kitchen/ dining room and straighten the living room. I also want to get the kids rooms clean and work my way to the storage room.... I must get it straight soon. I would like to get my Christmas items from my parents house. They think they may have someone who would like to buy their house so they will need my things moved out soon. I have way too much stuff left at mom and dad's house.

Tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) I will be going with Will to the pumpkin patch. I am looking forward to going with Will. Friday is homecoming so we will go to the parade and then to the game.

Ok getting off the computer to straighten the house up some now..... will post my progress later. (I hope!)

Fall!

It's October.... this week we have my dad's birthday (happy birthday to you yesterday Daddy!), my fall break, and Fire Prevention Week. Oh and it is Homecoming week this week too. So here is it October 6, and I am sitting in a quite house... Kaitlyn is at school, Will is at daycare, and DH is doing Fire Prevention at one of the schools. I need to get off the couch and clean the house, but it is the first day of my fall break and I want to enjoy it.

I love the fall season! Outside my open window are birds chirping.... I watch the tractors and trailors going up and down my road all day. They are cutting t"backer" down the road and the farmers have been up and down the road all day long. We went to MIL's house Sat night and I loved the drive. The trees are turning colors now and it is a beautiful drive around our county. Most people drive to the mountains to see beautiful leaves.... all I have to do is drive down the road.

The kids are getting so big.... I took their pictures at mom and dad's on Sunday and it made me wonder where my little ones went. Kaitlyn is now 7 1/2 and Will 2 1/2. They are so busy running around the houseplaying and following their daddy around. We are working on potty training Will. When did my babies grow up?

I need a break!

But it isn't coming anytime soon!! I need a nice long hot bubble bath but can't because I don't have the time. I would love to finish reading a book during the evening instead of having to wait until the kids go to bed. Dh is working more hours lately... we really need to money to help pay off some debt so I really can't complain. But I really feel overwhelmed with things. I have girl scouts and Sunday School class... but I love both of those things. I have my work and have so much going on there but I normally leave it at work when I head home. I have my two wonderful kids and wouldn't trade them for anything...... well I might on the days they are being horrible.


I can't even finish a post because of the kids... guess it is time to get them in bed and myself ready for tomorrow. :sigh:

Ok I give...

I totally forgot to come back and post my 6 facts. I also totally fogot to update here... that is what I get for having to go back to work.


So without further ado here it goes.....



1. I so want to be organized in my life, but it never shows... my house is a mess, my office is a mess, my car is a mess.

2. I have way too many projects started and can't find the time to finish them... I have about three afghans started, two stockings, and no telling how many cross-stitch projects. Now I am working on crayon rolls with my mom and have three started that I haven't had time to finish.

3. I secretly want another child but have decided that it is in our family's best interest to not have another one.

4. I hate to cook! I cook because I have to but prefer not to. My family makes fun of me because everyone in my family loves to cook but I don't.

5. I wish I could quit my job! Or at least cut back on something

6. You have no idea how much thinking it took to come up with 6 facts about me!


now I tag Heidi!
