We've entered Hallowbirthdaymas season so we are busy as hell. I do try and keep downtime in our lives but, well, that doesn't always work out. What have we been up to this October? Here are the highlights, in no particular order:
- Joined a new 4H club. Meets once a month, on Sundays, at the Ranch. Perfect time and location for us.
- Started dance with aforementioned 4H club for Stella. They will practice weekly and perform in June (and perhaps other times but that's their county fair judging.)
- Ended soccer for Sandis, but up until last week that was thrice weekly
- Continue having pony lessons with our friend for Stella (lessons are in exchange for us watching their animals when they go out of town.)
- Acquired our first rabbit. We'll be raising rabbits to show and selling the extras for meat (or giving them back to Sue M. for meat.)
- Knitting up a storm because my friend Shanna talked me into doing the Harry Potter Knitting House Cup. One project/month minimum. Started and completed within the month. It's been fun. Really, it is :)
- Visited a corn maze.
- Had a sick kid and husband
- Had a friend's kids for the weekend.
- Went to pumpkin carving night at church (one of the UU High Holy Days)
- Saw Nancy Drew play that our friend was in
- Worked (me)
- Did school work (kids) - math, writing, chemistry, ancient civ and Options
- Went to two birthday parties
- Had a dog diagnosed with lymphoma
- Lost half the power to our house and have been making due without washer/dryer and stove/oven. (they are coming FRIDAY to fix it, finally)
- Started teaching 8th grade OWL again.
- Cleaned the entire garage and the children's room (me)
- Went to family fun night at church
I think that's about it. I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten. After all, I have children and therefore my brain is only half capacity on a GOOD day. And you only get one good day a month. It's in the Having Children Handbook. I'd look up which day is the good day this month but I seem to have misplaced my Handbook....
This is your friendly reminder to vote. All you do is click, which takes you to the website where you then do nothing. Or you can do something, but you don't have to do something. It's easy. Thanks :)
