Just Us

Have you ever felt like you were moving so fast and dong so much.....that when things finally slow down...you aren't sure how to relax?!?! This has definitely been my day today. Dan and I have had such a busy couple of weeks and are SO glad to be relaxing a little this weekend together. Last weekend, I headed to Des Moines with the cheerleaders for their first state competition. They did wonderful and placed 11th in our division. A 10 point deduction for a hairband kept them from an 8th placing. So placing in the top half for their first time...is pretty amazing! :) We were very proud of them. Parent-teacher conferences were this past week as well. And I survived. It makes for a really long week, but it is good to connect with parents. Month without TV update: Dan has one more day to go!!!! Tomorrow he has class and then we plan to go out to a movie...or to a couple! Hahaha. It is pretty amazing how much more time we have for other things when we aren't watching tv. ...

On Thursday night, Mel came over for our annual FALL FUN NIGHT! :) We were really brave this year and did some tricky carving. These are our finished products after hours of carving and sipping cider. We took these pumpkins over to Grandma Daisy's for the trick-or-treaters on Saturday. Grandma was pretty excited. I handed out candy, while Dan sat in a ground blind out on the farm....waiting for the BIG one. The BIG one did not make an appearance this weekend.....but I have sure been learning a lot about all that goes into the GREAT hunt. Did you know that this man wears deer pee on his shoes just to attract deer?!?!? Wow....I think I will stick to jewelry..... :) Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
