dinner guest

This evening my Grandma (on my Dad's side), my Mom and my Niece came over for dinner. I wanted to talk to my Grandma about Christmas ideas for CJ. Hard to believe we are already talking Christmas. Actually I have already started shopping.

We had yummiful spaghetti.

Here is a picture of my Grandma and CJ.

Fall Picture Day 10

this picture is of a pumpkin farm in California. Wouldn't it make a beautiful backdrop for a picture? It was sent to me by a non blogging friend.

what a busy day

FALL PICTURE DAY 9

you may wonder why I chose this as a fall picture. Well, this was taken at our county fair last year. Our fair is in October and October is FALL. So there you have it. Our fair is going on now and I will have pictures from our three days there on Sunday.

Earlier today my Mom watched CJ for me to go have lunch with my BFF from high school. I have known her (T) for 17-18 years. That is by far a majority of our lives. We had a good time. We were there for two and a half hours. Laughing, talking, reminicing. It was so nice. I was wanting to take CJ and go to the fair with her and her son, but I still had reading to do for our Bible study this evening. So maybe another time. T is helping me with my birthday sleepover, so we got all the details in order for that. I can not wait.

Now I am just waiting on the hubby to finish getting ready so we can drop some items off at our local food pantry, (a project for our Bible study) and then head out to the Bible study.

Everyone have a good evening.

I've been tagged (and more)

OK, so I was tagged by MiMi over at He & Me + 3 . Thanks for including me.

So, here are 7 weird/random facts about me. (please don't laugh too hard)

1. I microwave my ice cream, so it is not too hard and I rinse my ice cubes and popsicles off to ger rid of the little "crystals" on them.

2. I think I enjoy the toy dept more than my 3 yr old son. (or any kid of that matter)

3. I do not like the smell or taste of coffe, but I love cappacinos and coffee ice cream

4. I do not care for shoes. (with the exception of a good pair of tennis shoes and/or flip flops)

5. I have more chapstick than I can ever use in my lifetime.

6. I get "stressed" watching tv shows, movies, etc. ie) worst week (and more that I just can not think of right now)

7. my hubby and I are trying to have another baby (and I want to have twins)

Yesterday

REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE

A few months ago our church formed a Go Green team and introduced the church to recycling and encouraged us to implement a few of the suggestions in our homes. PJ wanted to start recycling at home, so we bought some bins and got started. We have several spots around town that we can take our recyclables to drop them off. CJ LOVES going with us and helping to put the things in the correct bins. Yesterday two of the spots we went to to drop off were overflowing, so PJ suggested going to the recycling center itself. So we did. The way it works there is you drive into the building and there is a trash compactor with a conveyor belt type thing and there are several large dumpster style bins to put your recyclables in. CJ LOVED seeing this. He was so excited to watch everything that was going on. He talked about this all day. The little things that amuse kids. I contributed his fascination with the recycling center to his All About Garbage and Recycling dvd. When we got home, he wanted to watch it. I wish I woiuld have had my camera with me to capture his face, but who would have thought to bring a camera to the recycling center????

FALL PICTURE DAY 8

this is CJ last Halloween at my Mom's house. He went to a few houses on her street, but enjoyed sitting on her porch handing the candy out more. He was Handy Manny from Playhouse Disney. (I made his tools) Of course just after Halloween they came out with an actual set of Handy Manny tools, complete with tool box. Go figure. He was happy with his "costume" and his tools. And it was a money saver.

fall pictures day 7

Sorry this post is so late in the day...our county fair is this week and I was spending some time there. (I will have a post Sunday about that complete with pictures)

Here is todays fall picture. It was sent to me, but I am sorry I do not know by who. Feel free to take credit for it, if it was you.

THANKS for sharing.

ENJOY!

fall picture day take 5 and 6

Sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I did not get a chance to post a fall picture here. So today I will include two for you to look at.

These two are a little more of a pumpkin theme than a fall theme, but hey fall means pumpkins, so they work. Plus I thought they were neat. So many people have such talent.
