We are enjoying the cooler fall which, after this horrible, hot summer, we just love!!! Hope fall is in your neighborhood too!
Sunday: I haven't taken a recent picture of the chickens lately, so I got one today. They are laying now, so we are loving the fresh brown eggs. We have 6 laying hens. 5 sort-of brown ones in this shot, and then one black and white, but she is her own person/hen and doesn't like to be with the group, so I had to get a picture of her later this week.
Monday: Miss A's last volleyball game was today, so I caught a picture of her with her awesome coach, who also happens to be one of my best friends. She is the best coach!! Love you T! Thanks for all you do!
Tuesday: Got a picture of Miss Black and White Hen today. I think she is the prettiest of the flock.
Wednesday: I surprised the kids by picking them up from school today and heading to the Dr. office for flu shots. They didn't figure out what we were doing until we pulled into the Dr. parking lot. They were not amused, but we were all brave and survived--even me, although our arms were pretty sore the next day.
Thursday: After the previous day of traumatic flu shots, I needed a Girls Lunch Out. So we headed out of town to a greenhouse for mums, pumpkins, and pizza for lunch. Nothing beats great friends. What a blessing!
Friday: Miss E got into the 100 point AR reading club at school and got her t-shirt today. She was very proud. She has turned into a super-reader this year!!!
Saturday: This weekend was our Church's--The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--semi-annual General Conference. We don't have local meetings, but we watch our services on TV or the internet Saturday and Sunday from our church wide General leaders and our Prophet and President. It is such an amazing experience. Unlike the unpleasant flu shots earlier in the week, these meetings have been a wonderful spiritual "shot" or boost that I really needed. I so love my Savior Jesus Christ and all that He does for me. So grateful for my family, my faith, and my church. It was a great weekend, and to keep the kids entertained and sort of listening we play conference bingo with Reese's Pieces. They listen to what the speaker says and find that topic on their bingo card (like faith, Christ, love, etc), and when they get bingo they get to eat their pieces (plus extra too:)
Hope you all have a wonderful week! God bless!
Oh, love the chickens! My kids got flu shots this week after school too but I didn't surprise them. They knew it was coming and were amazingly good about it. I still need mine though. Happy Fall!
