Fall....

Awwwww, Fall is here!  The NM State Fair is now over and Balloon Fiesta will be here on Saturday.  The temps are getting cooler every evening so, the dogs are starting to sleep inside at night. Apple butter, pumpkin bread, and Chicken and Dumplings....  Yep, it's Fall.


Church is already getting this year's Harvest Festival organized and yep, Children's Worship is doing a booth. I told Peggy Darlington to suprise me with what we're doing, I might regret that I said that....Oh well, it's all for the Glory of God right? I'm good with that. My kids want to dress up this year, I told them they could be ghosts, they didn't think that was a good costume idea. I did! Cheap and creative, they didn't see that. Caroline wants to design her own costume, that scares me!  It could be any one of these:



 
                                     All I can say is YIKES!
 
I'd really prefer her to wear this:
 
Think she will???? Uh......NOPE!
 
I'll have to keep you all updated:)  Happy Monday!
 

Full Moon's A Rising

That song from CCR is so true in our house right now.  Yesterday, I had all 3 kiddos arguing and fighting with each other and with Rob and myself.  Let me tell you, I DO NOT want a repeat today.  Last night when the fur started flying, I didn't realize that there really is a full moon rising over the next couple of days, talk about crazy!  Sooooo, here's the breakdown of what the kids lost because of their behavior:

-No TV ( I removed the satellite box) until further notice.  Personally, I could care less about the TV, I never get to watch what I want to anyways!

-No computer for everyone under the age of 15 until further notice.

-Paul lost his cel phone for a week(shucks!)

-Ryan's IPod, Nintendo DS, and TV have a new home-the safe.  Boy, was he mad about that! Hehehehe

-Caroline is grounded( Best punishment for her, we all know what a Social Butterfly she is)

Besides all of that, Ryan had to scrub the kitchen floor(yep, on hands and knees) last night and vaccum the downstairs because his sassy mouth couldn't keep shut.  Gosh, I love being a parent!  It's all about power and control...Mahahahahahahaaaa!

Well, hope you all survive this full moon rising, I know I'm taking NO prisioners!  Have a great day!

Yep, We're Still Around....

Sorry guys, it's been way too long!  I looked at when I posted last and was appalled by my neglect of you all! Do you feel neglected?  Yes???  I feel like dirt, yes I do....I had such great hopes that I would be able to keep up this blog and so far, I'm not do so well.  I'll try harder. I promise!

Let's see....what have we been up to?  I think the better question is, what haven't we been up to?  The list is much shorter!  Rob and I have been busy working at our day jobs and at home.  Rob's been taking advantage of the nice, warm weather we've been having and has picked up extra work on the weekends.  The extra $$$ is nicer than this weather!  I've been running at Mach speed keeping up with work, the kids' stuff, the housework, and feeding my ravenous pack of wolves.  Who, by the way, are ALWAYS hungry! 

This picture makes me think of Fall here in New Mexico.  Happy 1st Day of Fall!
