One More

I wanted to just add this last picture because Al and I both liked the barn in the foreground. And I forgot it yesterday.

Happy Tuesday all!

We're Done!

Here is a photo documentary of our last day picking corn for Fall 2009...










We do still have field work to do, but WE ARE DONE PICKING CORN!!!! WOO HOO!! Just in time to go out for my birthday!! Yea!!!

Happy Happy Monday!! We were even early to school this morning! Does it get any better than that?

On to Regionals!

Here are my two inventors!!

Carter and Emily both made inventions for our school's Invention Convention this year and they both made it on to the Regional Level!! Woo Hoo!
Carter's Invention is called The Cushy Kayak Cushion and is a waterproof cushion that straps onto the kayak seat beause he thought the seat was uncomfortable when he had to paddle. (I agree!)
Emily's Invention is call the Lunch "N" Go and is a tray that straps in with a seatbelt to the buddy seat in the combine and big tractor so that Dad and Grandpa can eat on the go. It has sides to catch things and is metal so the cupholder can magnet to it.

Fun ideas and fun times! They are way excited. When they go to Regionals they get to miss a day of school and go out to eat after they compete. Fun! Emily wants to make it on to state this year. We'll see what happens next month....

Randomness

I haven't taken a whole lot of pictures lately. I kind of miss it. But what with the weather and being busy and all I haven't taken the time. I'm not as excited about my indoor pictures which means I should take more instead of avoid it, but there's that too.

Anyway, this morning I walked out to the porch to tell Al good bye as he headed to work and I saw a sunrise. Wow. I was up in time to see a sunrise. I've never taken pictures of a sunrise before. So I went back inside to get my camera. I wanted a sunrise and I wanted to show beauty even if you live in town. This one isn't as vibrant as the others, but I wanted to include my house.

It was really pretty and stripey.
I was gone for a couple of days this weekend and the kids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and a bonus of the cousins coming up was thrown in there, too. Due to all of the rain, we haven't had lots of chances to play in the leaves this fall. This weekend we were blessed with some nice weather again and the kids got to playing!
Driving Grandma's lawn mower and pulling the wagon is almost as much fun as riding in it!! I wonder if any work ever gets done ?



Oh Carter!


Do you notice a pattern?

Now I just need to get busy on my Christmas card!! I traditionally have handed them out at Thanksgiving and I'm afraid if I don't get them done by then, I just won't do them!! I have a basis of an idea, but....it's not totally formed and Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks!!! UGH!! Hopefully, I can work well under pressure!!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Halloween from...

SUPER SCOOBY-DOOBY DOOBY DOO!

THE HAPPY MAD SCIENTIST!
THE SCARY JACOLANTERN SCARECROW! (I obviously can't spell)


And I was BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN!!!

We took a friend of Emily's door to door trick or treating on Halloween. She was a magician. It was fun! There was a mini haunted house at a neighbor's, we stopped by the fire station for complimentary hot dogs, we trick or treated the combine, and ended the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house to count our stash!!

What a great Halloween! Hope yours was too!
