October- In Words

So.....
Long time no see.

Lately, for the past month-and-a-half, I've been feeling REALLY busy. Every morning I've been waking up early to get a jump start on the day and have been going to bed later.

The other day, I paused to evaluate why I've been so delinquent in posting a blog, and my list of accomplishments seems a bit unimpressive.

October was a month for:

LOTS and LOTS of work on our backyard, and there's still more to come. Sorry, there will be no pictures posted until it is completed. Right now, it's pretty depressing looking, but not nearly as depressing looking as it was a month ago. But, it's one of those things that has to get worse before it gets better. Zach has been getting some major muscles with all the tree-extracting and digging he's been doing. I have to brag-but he took out our mature Ash tree ALL-BY-HIMSELF! (The tree was dead and killing our yard-so don't mourn too long for it) When I do finally post pictures- you'll see what a chore that really was.

Halloween/Costume parties for families and the kids.

My first ever group piano lesson, lots of fun and more work-but still worth it.

Costume making

Lots more sewing-thanks to a good friend who allows me to come and mooch off of her extensive sewing knowledge for free every week. Karina is truly a Christ-like individual.

Applesauce making--thanks to Zach's parents and their incredible apple haul from Richfield. I still shake my head in wonder and a little confusion as to how we ended up with more jars of applesauce than they and they are the ones who picked them. Talk about Christ-like attributes.

Oh, and being a mom to two little'uns.



Would you believe that that's all I've been up to this month and currently I have NO pictures to show for it. Reason one is that our camera is currently MIA. Reason two is that I am a horrible photographer in 2 senses, but more particularly in the sense that I never remember to take pictures.

Good thing this blog is now private and I therefore get fewer visitors. Otherwise I'd be even more embarrassed.

And now I realize that I'm already almost half-way through November! Looks like a pattern.

It's the Holiday Season. People are more busy. Besides it sounds like those are some pretty time consuming things. Here's hoping you find the time for everything you need to do.
