10 days later . . .

Yes, it has been 10 days since I have updated this blog. So sorry. Here ya go:

Sept 17 - Taught a scrapbooking group. Had a blast!
Sept 18 - Grant had school, so Cole and I met Mitch at the lawyer's office to finalize our living trust. While in the meeting, Cole pooped, so we had to leave to change his diaper. Then, he thought he was buckled into his stroller, so he decided to flip out and landed on his nose. Bloody nose boy. Over all, though, it was a good meeting. I feel much better knowing we have things in place . . . just in case!
Sept 19 - I can't remember.
Sept 20 - The first Ladies Bible Study of the year. We met as a large group, then broke up into 3 classes. My choices were: the book of Job, Becoming a woman of . . . something, and Joy. Mitch is glad I chose Joy! I figured I had better focus on something that will bring me . . . joy.
Ahh - I also got my bangs trimmed. My hair grows SO fast, and it is especially noticeable in my bangs. Five weeks into my haircut, I was pretty desperate. I made an appointment and towed 3 children into the salon. I was in and out in 3 minutes. Whew! I can't wait for the big haircut tonight!!
Sept 21 - We attended a State Farm dinner at Mitch's corporate boss guy's house. It was so much fun! It was catered and the food was amazing. Conversation was fun and the weather was beautiful. Funny how they call these things picnics. I've never been to a nicer picnic! Bonus: The boys spent the night at their grandparent's house!
Sept 22 - Mitch and his buddies purchased a house that we are fixing up and going to rent out. It is a great house with a ton of potential. We have spent every spare moment over there (which is why I haven't blogged). We scraped wall paper, pulled up flooring, painted, shopped for new lights . . . Actually, we are doing a lot of work. The 3 bedroom 1 bath home will be a 4 bedroom (with a really nice master) 1 3/4 bath home when we are finished. We already have renters. So, that is what we did on Saturday. We worked on the house.
Sept 23 - After church, we participated in "The Amazing Race". Oh, it was so much fun!! They had sign ups a long time ago, but I wasn't around to sign us up, so they just put us on a team. We were put with these two young couples (early 20's) and drove in our little Jeep. Well, to make a long story short, because of an error in judgment (on my part), our team got stuck at the DQ and struggled to catch up the rest of the game. Mitch took us on a nice drive through the country (thinking it might be faster), while we watched the "DTE" gage hit "0". We stopped for gas. Good thing, because the pregnant lady in the back seat, who also gets car sick, was moaning a little bit. Although we came in last place, we had a great time and will definitely do it again!
Sept 24 - Can't remember.
Sept 25 - MOPS!! Alysun brought her baby, Kelly announced she is pregnant, I ate a lot of egg dishes.
Sept 26 - I played Bunco - Stampin'Up style at my friend Marsha's house. It was fun!
Sept 27 - Today! Ahh, all caught up. We had Ladies Bible Study again. It was great. Shawn announced she is pregnant. I cried. It was a really big announcement. Not just because of the obvious, but because it was SO unexpected and such an absolute miracle. If you are reading this and you are a MOPS gal, act surprised when she announces it at MOPS. Hopefully I won't cry again.

TONIGHT, I get a haircut. Probably the same thing I had last time, but ya never know!
