Fun Fabulous Fall

It's been a fun fabulous fall so far. I hope it keeps up! 

Here's what we've been up to:

  • fencing; we've almost finished 1 quarter of land in about a week's time; everything's going great, except that yesterday while I was running along the fence down to where Matt was, I rolled my ankle, fell to the ground, crying, and now it hurts...kinda bad. It's a little swollen, but it's getting easier to walk on.  So, in a nutshell, fencing is going great, but Matt's help has become temporarily handicapped. :)
  • the kids are so fun and such good helpers;  we've been taking them fencing with us to spend time with them and to save money instead of sending them to daycare.  Clarence really enjoys fencing; Adina, sometimes...she's such a busybody that she gets sick of it after a couple hours (understandable, I know). 
  • I've been subbing;  all up in Pembina.  The kids are fun...I know them all well now, so it's not awkward or anything, and subbing gives me time to read a book now and then, which brings me to my next point:
  • I read "The Help" and loved it. I highly recommend it!  You won't be disappointed.  Now I have to figure out a way to drag Matt out of the county away from his work to go see it in theaters.
  • Clarence is in Sunday School....he absolutely loves it!  There are so many kids in his class (usually around 11-ish), so he has fun getting to interact with them.  As a mom, it's fun to watch him with so many other kids and how he behaves himself.
  • I start piano lessons next week....it'll be nice to get into that routine again;  I've really put off starting it this year...we've been so busy!
  • I start beets on Saturday.  I drive beet cart for my uncles.  I really enjoy it; sometimes it gets long, I guess, but it's nice to make some extra income quickly.  The kids get to come and ride with me once in a while, too.  I think this will be a challenge for Matt, to see how well he can manage picking them up from daycare and putting them to bed, etc, along with trying to get some work done, too.  :)
  • I have to play piano in a wedding on Saturday...it'll be easy; just one song for the processional, prelude and postlude music and that's it.  Then, off to work beets!

Well, I hope you've been having a fun fabulous fall and that you're taking time to enjoy the beautiful weather and the beauty of the changing trees when you're out for a drive. :)

  2. Thanks, Leanne! I actually drive beet cart, so I get to stay in the field....it's much safer that way. :) But that's a benefit of working for my uncles, I guess.
