Holy Buckets... Where did October go?

WOW! It's been 21 days since I last updated... where have I been and what have I been doing this month? I DON'T know, but obviously the computer hasn't been a priority. Let's see if I can go through the last 3 weeks in my head and see what we've been up to! Maybe moving backwards will get me to the first of the month!

Daddy has been working ALOT. That is the nature of the beast this time of year. Weather cooperates, dad works. The month of October and November are crazy for dad, so it's lots of time 'just us girls'. And what does that mean... mommy finds stuff to do because being home too much causes stir-crazy mommys and kiddos and then nobody is happy.

This past weekend... we started on Friday night visiting with our friends Keith and Nance, Todd and Carrie. It was great to see all them and let the girls play/visit. Once the candy was discovered... Nece was in heaven! She takes after me and LOVES her candy! I had part 3 of her photography class on Saturday morning. The girls got to spend some much overdue time with Emmie. My workshop was good, but a fairly decent time commitment over the last four weeks, so now its putting all the learning into practice. Saturday afternoon, we were lazy bums... cleaned and worked on ripping the final stuff out of the garden. Big task completed! YEAH! Sunday... what a FUN day! I headed off to the apple orchard with the girls (and the rest of MN residents) for a beautiful Sunday filled with a wagon ride, walking through the apple orchard, having an apple right from the trees, and then finally off for a special treat! A great way to spend one of the only beautiful fall days we've had all season!

The previous weekend there wasn't much planned... until grandma called and let us know that she was going to be at the waterpark overnight with Jon, David and a couple of their friends! We had a great night and holy buckets... I don't have ANY idea where Nece gets all her energy. She was rip, roarin and ready to go, while the rest of us were dead dog tired! Daddy had a rare Saturday morning off and had the opportunity to go to the Gophers game and said the new stadium was incredible!

And the weekend before that... let's see how good my memory is. Honestly, it's not that great, and looking at our calendar it looks like we didn't do much. And if I'm remembering clearly, I think we did have a fairly quiet weekend at the beginning of October. We probably enjoyed decent weather outside, played and made sure we caught up on everything!

And Tuesday nights... we go to swimming lessons! They've been going well. Of course one week a kid pooped in the pool and we had lessons in the big pool and let me tell you that water was freezing and it was miserable! Nece is doing well with the lessons and gets excited every Tuesday night. A funny from this week, as this was our conversation in the pool in the middle of the class:

Mommies have big boobies and daddys have little boobies, right?

Yes, Nece.

Mommy, why?

Nece, that's the way God made us.

Mommy... I have little boobies, but when I get to be big like you, I'm going to have big boobies too.

Next topic. Done and quick... except this conversation had to happen in front of the only dad in the class! Fabulous!!!

And the locker room talk. Use your imagination... lets just say the ladies that are regulars just giggle to themselves as they listen to our conversations. Most notably last night when I was informed (very loudly) that Nece wasn't going potty... just poopy! And as she flushed, she proclaimed her famous line:
BYE Poopies! Don't come back!!!

I'm sure there are more highlights... but that's all that is on the top of my head at the moment! It took alot to pull the computer out, but I know with Halloween coming up... I will have more to post in a week!

Til sooner rather than later... lets hope!
