Happy Buttercream Birthday

Happy Birthday Duane.

Happy Halloween

I hope you all will have a special and fun Halloween. I jsut thought I would share a few pictures of the visit we took this past Saturday to the pumpkin patch. Sabrina, Ruth and Edward came to visit all of us over the weekend. On Saturday during Edward's nap we all went to pick some pumpkins

The kids ran in the hay maze that was allready half dilapidated.

We saw some farm animals. Here they are looking at the sheep.

It was a fun way to kill and hour or so. We enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

Hope all of you have a happy and safe Halloween.

Some new stuff

Hey everyone! I have a new item in my etsy shop. By the end of the day I should have some more. I'm having fun creating these days. The photo below is of a gift card tin for Christmas.

Back to work

Good morning to everyone out there. We have been very busy here for the past week. I have started back to work at Archiver's. I am having a great time getting back into the swing of things there. I especially love teaching the classes.

Sarah and Theresa are still loving school. We had our first sick day yesterday. Theresa was running a little fever. She was thrilled to be back to school this morning. We had our first parent teacher conference last week. The girls are doing very well at reading. They devour everything we give them to read. They like to work on this independently and together. It seems that is part of being a twin.

Thanks to my very generous sister in law, Pam, I have finally sold my first item on Etsy. (It was put in the mail box yesterday, Pam.) I know there are only 2 or 3 of you reading this but it is a cool website, even if you don't buy from me. You can find something for Christmas for tons of people on your list.

Above are a few photos of events around here. Nothing too exciting. Please enjoy!

Some days in our life

Hello everyone out there. I am participating in a project. It is documenting a week in your life in photos and journaling. All the details are at www.aliedward.typepad.com She is a scrapbooker that I admire. I read her blog every day for inspiration. I will most likely limit the project to only two days, instead of a whole week. Not because I'm a quitter, but because I took so many photos that it is allready enough to fill a whole album after only two days. Plus developing that many photos is expensive in my world. So here is some of what was in my world on Monday.

I dropped the kids off at school, and I had this guest on the front steps when I returned home.

Dishes, dishes, I do them two or three times a day.

The towels go in, the towels go out. The towels go round and round about.

Banana bread also gets twirled about.

Buckeling in after shool. They are happy because I'm about to hand them a snack to eat.

Here we are at home after running an errand. I love that face. I hope you enjoy it too.

I hope that some day they will enjoy the album that all this goes in. They will be able to look back at what they, the house, and their world looked like. They will see how much gas costs, and how much I spent at Target that day buying them new underpants.

It will be a time capsule for when our world changes some day. Think about this idea for your and your family. It only means taking photos, writing down some events and throwing it all into a photo album with pockets. It is time well spent.
