Last day of spud harvest break.....

The kids actually got out of school for 10 days because of the spud harvest! Although it snowed and was

cold a lot of the time. Still, we had fun. They played with their friends, baked and cooked and watched a lot

of movies....

Yesterday since it was their last day, we decided to go to Porter Park where they could ride their bikes

around while I ran. It was going great until.....


We had two different crashes. Joshy was fine after just a minute but Emily crashed pretty hard and got really

scrapped up.

But I'm happy to say that both are fine now. We even came home and invited friends over for cake and had

a stupendous time!

And to officially welcome Fall and being back to school, we have a cold, wet, windy day ahead of us.

And it doesn't even make me sad. Shocking, right?

Either I'm getting used to the weather or my treadmill is doing just what we hoped for; banishing the blues!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
