Fall happenings..

Bought a pontoon boat on our last camping trip on Aug 23…our first boat.

Ordered baby chicks,25 to be exact from McMurray Hatchery

Tyler's in band for 6th grade and is going to play drums. So we had to rent his instrument for now..but he starts on bells and works up to playing the drums, he is excited, we woke up this morning to the sound of him playing the bells…thank goodness it isn't the drums just yet ;)

we went out on the boat yesterday from 9:30am to 4:20, and the lake is way down so everyone was swimming on the sand bar out in the middle, including us. it was a hopping place.

I’m suppose to be studying my algebra, but I can’t focus till I do this!

School anxiety ….

I can feel the end of summer anxiety rearing its ugly, ugly head!! What do I want to do before school starts back on the 17th… what do I need to get done before that day gets here!!

It is RUSHING in at Nano speeds…

I go back to college the 17th, the boys go back to school the 18th!!

Homework stress will soon be here….

Right now have apples from off our apple trees on the dehydrator, yum!!  (no pics feeling lazy)

We went to the Puxico Homecoming last night, it was hot, Bailey rode the mechanical bull, that was a hoot!!

Had a funnel cake…. $5.00 bucks for a funnel cake!! And they are shrinking!! LOL

And the squaredance band was there in full swing and they started playing Boil the Cabbages on the fiddles…… and I was like

Dude, I know how to totally play that on my violin”!!  COOL BEANS

and so can Bailey!!  Bailey was like… “We totally need to get up there and play that”!!
