Wordless Wednesday–Self Portrait

Our Weekend

I need to get better about posting here.  I need to get better at taking more photos. 

I just thought I’d share our weekend.  We got winter weather and lots of snow. 

It was cold and it was dark, but the kids went out to do a little playing in the snow. 

Before mom made them shovel the deck, they made snow angels on it. 

We stuck close to home for the most part.  Saturday, the high school team playing a in the Semi Finals football game.  In the blizzard. In the bitter temps.  And won.  I listened on the radio.  BRRRRR 

Yesterday, we celebrated my Grandpa’s 90th birthday.  He just keeps on going too.  No stopping him and I  love that!! 

This is my Grandpa, my aunt and McKinley – who had to follow him, because he just might cut into that cake!!  lol…. 

We also got our pellet stove hooked up this weekend.  Good thing – it’s COLD people!!  McKinley loves to sit by it to warm up.  Last night she was sitting there with a fake rat and fake crow (left over from Halloween) singing a song about them.

 

We made homemade pizza last night.  It’s the first time I’ve made my own dough and it worked out well.  It was yummy actually.  I made two pizzas and McK decorated one along side me. 

I also did a little sewing.  I whipped out this blanket for my cousin’s son’s birthday.  It’s a football shaped blanket I found on Pinterest.  I shared the photo on Facebook and got an order!  LOL… yikes!!  I also sewed a new tank top for McKinley’s dolls, and now she has an order in for some jeans. 

Wordless Wednesday–Traffic Jam

We got a Pup.

We are animal people.

My dream pet would be a pot bellied pig.
One that I could train to live in the house.

And then I wake up and see that I have three kids, and remember I like a clean house.

And a pig would be just that.  A pig. 

So we got a dog.
We already had a cat.  And we enjoy the cat. 

Some of friends told us they wanted to get rid of their dog.  They live in town and didn’t have time for her anymore.  They knew she would love country life.  So they brought her to us on Wednesday.

And they were right, Ellie loves the country life.  She loves to go out and just run. 

 

Fall

Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  I especially love decorating for is. 

I added some fall colors to my tool caddy. 

I got this window pane from my parents glass shop.. they have a bunch of them.  Score!! 

Hope you are enjoying the changing of the seasons. 

September

David got his tonsils out Thursday and we are just chilling out for the rest of the weekend.

Hoping that at least some of us get to go see the Diary of A Wimpy Kid movie this weekend. 

Lots of football for this month. Missing some of it. Homecoming next week.  I love the parade.

Wednesday night church starts this month.  New classes for everyone.

Mom gets to go on a field trip and work at the school a couple days this month. 

A big wedding at the end of the month, that we can not wait for!!  ♥

Cooler weather, sweatshirts and hot cocoa.

The Long Weekend

I love long weekends.  Especially during the school year.  The extra day or so is wonderful.  However, we are all on school schedule, so there wasn’t too much sleeping in.  Oh well. 

We took in David’s first Middle School games, which was a Jamboree so it’s all about learning.  I enjoyed watching and understanding it all.  Anxious for the season. 

We went camping with some girlfriends and their kids. An annual event, but we waited too long to plan this trip.  So we planned one for next summer already.  I  love that my friend was totally rocking her vintage bus.  We. Are. Awesome. 

It was a weird weekend, but a fun weekend.  Now, I’m making my To Do list for the week.
