Let's see...

We have had a busy week as always, karate, playdates, haircuts, errands, etc . We had comp,any over both Friday and Saturday night, so I had to clean the house so much Friday afternoon, but I am glad I "had" to, since it was so needed. Michael and I are not feeling so well, it hit his this weekend and I am real nervous, having to get up t 2:45 all week, with about 5 hours of sleep each night. Bible study starts this week, so that is one more weeknight we will be gone, Michael also starts going to my Gym on Saturdays for 1 hour and most likely each Wednesday too.

I was able to scrapbook with a friend this weekend and it was such a blessing. I got 3 pages done and it felt so god. Michael crafted with us too, so my office now needs another good cleaning.. lol

I just ordered 50 more pictures too of the past month, so I am excited to get those and have some new inspiration to work with.

Michael is doing so much better in karate, we just had his 6th lesson and I am happy it is not over in 10-12 or so like most of his other sports, it seems he finally gets into something just about the time it is over. This goes all year long and something he can continue if he wants to all the way through his lifetime.

He is loving kindergarten, comes home each day with a million things to tell me and loves practicing his songs, stories and spelling his color words they are working on. His teacher did tell me though he is having a hard time following directions and so I am trying real hard to work with him on that. He has the same issues here at home and at karate too, he is just so cute (and he knows is) and acts all silly and goofy at times instead of shaping up and getting things done.

Well Michael is ready for dinner, he is going to bed in less then an hour since he and I both need sleep, so I better go find something to throw at him to eat. Oh and my once a month cooking thing at the church starts up again in a few weeks too, so fresh freezer meals that are fast and way to cook.. will be so nice to have again.

ok I fixed him a fast quesadilla(sp) and came back, I forgot there was more I wanted to type about.

We are thinking about Halloween costumes and trying to decide what he wants to be. After going through what he was in the past, his first new idea was to be the red Spiderman, since he was the black one lat year. That would be fine, but costumes are $30 and I have a hared time spending that much for one night. I thought I had a plan and a way to get him a costume,but that is not panning out so good. We were ready "cat in the hat" last night and I saw thing 1 and thing 2 and thought that would be cute. He has a read shirt that says :"thing 2" on it and thought oh my how easy it would be to go out and get a plan red footed pj and red gloves with a blue wig and he is set.. or a red turtleneck and red sweatpants. then just throw the red t-shirt on over the top. Also going with this idea, the blue wig is the only non reg. clothing we have to buy, the rest I wouldn't mind paying for since he could wear it again and again, I also bet those could be found at Other Mother's or similar places.

Well looks like fall is year, the weather has changed so much the past few days and looks as if we may not get over 60 tomorrow. I spent both days last weekend making a ton of sprinkler system fixes, changes, upgrades and after I changed 7 sprinklers out, I noticed I missed one and 2 were the wrong kind, so I have to finish that job up still and then I changed out 8 more and then ran across a huge problem, which when we fixed it, we discovered the 8 I just changed have to go back to how they were.. sigh so it seems I have more work to do. Since they are all still freshly dug up it should go fast, but I hate going back and redoing things I just did and if the weather keeps being cold and misty I may not get the motivation to get them done. But I really really should, as I already have a list of things to do, change, repair and work on for next year, so getting these out of the way would be nice. Sigh! We got up half of the fence and the other half will be done this week, we are also making huge progress on the garage and still making sales on Craigslist to get rid of the huge pile of garage sale items.. yippee! ok I realty better go now.. more later.
