Family pictures today! We were scrambling last night to try and
figure out what we were all going to wear. I like everyone to be
color coordinated. We decided to include the dogs in the picture too.
We helped clean Kirsten's house and after they pulled all the old carpet out
I spent quite a while pulling staples out of the floor. Busy day.

Keyki and I have had a quiet day today. We went on a walk this morning and have pretty much just puttered around cleaning
and washing laundry all day. I dropped off some cleaning supplies at Kirsten's new house.
YES she was able to get in yesterday! I have to say "get in" because there were no keys, they ended up having to
break the lock off the door to get in. Someone called the police on them.
I said that was a good thing because it means the neighbors are watching out for each other.
Anyway, I will be gone with Thayne to a work dinner and will not be able to help clean tonight, which is why I was
dropping off the cleaning supplies. Luckily no one called the police on me:)

I was doing so well and then I totally forgot to post yesterday!
Oh well, lots of life was happening and that is good.
I went out to lunch with my mom and sisters. We went to the Gardner Village,
had lunch and wandered the shops a little. It was really a nice afternoon.
We saw a wonderful table runner in one of the shops which inspired us to create our own.
That will be a project for November.

I'm posting late tonight. We just got home from the girls tennis banquet for Katie.
She earned her Varsity Letter for tennis! Great job!

Thayne is still home sick today. I've been busy washing and doing basic after weekend cleanup.
Today I have a Cyprus Community Council meeting.
It's just a once a month meeting, but it helps me feel like I'm doing something
to be involved there this year.

These are the potions from our family Halloween party. So spooky!

We all had a great time, although Thayne has a fever today which started

as we were getting ready to go home. He has just slept all day long.

I've been getting ready for the family Halloween party most of the morning. We made rice krispy treats, yum, yum!

I really enjoy Fridays. The day just seems to go slower and be more relaxed than
other days. We purchased and installed a back porch light tonight. The old one has been broken
for a while and with it being dark so much earlier now it's a little scary to take Keyki out to do her business.
Now we have light!

I made a lovely potato cheese soup last night using Teresa's recipe.
Everyone ate it without much complaining and there were even a few compliments.
I call that a success.
I've been gathering random items to put in potion jars for our family Halloween party.
I'm so excited to see how these turn out.

Hurray! I'm so glad you came to look at my blog.
My internet was down all day today so I was starting to worry that I wouldn't be able to post today.
I spent most of the day at school helping with all of the "Reflections" contest entries.
Poor Keyki, in the kennel again.

This is the picture Nathan entered.

This is Katie's picture.

Hannah's picture.

Today was a blustery day. I love to drive through the leaves when they're blowing all over the road.

PTSA

I had a PTSA meeting today, it went way longer than I had hoped. Now my brain hurts and I think I need a nap.
There are a lot of things to keep track of when you are the PTSA President.

My thought for the day is to stop eating candy corn, stop wondering what to do, and just do something!
