Steven at his last cross country meet. Poor guy had been sick for a few days right before yet still shaved 3 minutes off his recent time. He is looking forward to running again just for fun. Its just who he is.
LittleBuddy the "Hunter" or "GI JOE" or "Covert Camoflauge Guy". It didn't matter what you called him, he just wanted to dress like this, and was happy to be with his friends at our ward Trunk or Treat, at school, and on Halloween night.
Three children, three pumpkins, BigBuddy cut the largest, with the help of our neighbor, and MyGirl based hers on the card my mom sent, and LittleBuddy went for personality!
Trek Pages of BigBuddy's experience in July. When we picked him up he said it was harder than he envisioned, but he was up to the challenge, and wished he could do it again, then he had a LONG nap!
Christmas pages of Bigbuddy's from 2007 - sadly I am that far behind in my children's books. These are 9 x 9 and are fast and easy to do. I keep them quite simple so I can get between 8 and 12 pages done in a couple of hours. Happily, my 12 x 12 family album is caught up to August of this year. I'm still tempted just to photo copy but I don't have a 12 x 12 printer, and I do have plenty of supplies, so thus I keep going. The pressure is on for me, though, with BigBuddy's book. I want it caught up before he leaves for college at the end of this school year. I'm going to be busy!
And because I know how busy I am, I am posting Thanksgiving decor today. We are excited to be with family this year for Thanksgiving. I've already found some bargain felt turkeys I have to use somewhere. . . more creative ideas to come!
We spent yesterday at the ribbon outlet and the Prime Outlets - with Christmas shopping begun! Oh, how quickly the time goes. I hope to be able to pull it off. Our ward boundaries are changing also in less than two weeks so there's a lot to be done in a short amount of time! Never a dull moment!
