Ann and I picked up girls from school and we went shopping at Walmart and they picked out pumpkins. I learned two of Z's spelling words this week....breakfast and tenth. I remember spending hours and hours nights helping with homework. I came to think of it as punishment for the parents. But our 3 little K's turned out just fine.
rainy and cool today.
Tracy texted that they'd bought their tickets to Key West and prices are probably going up. She sent me the flight she'd found, booked my tickets. I am so grateful for the help. she knows me so well! so, another airline, another phone app. flying American Airlines this time.
a trip to PO. one of my pumpkins was rotten, so took The Long Walk across the yard to The Fence. some fall cleaning. WalkFit jumped my step goal to 12,400. highest it's ever been.
I baked a pumpkin pie, cleaned off farm porch, worked on Lizzie Borden barbies, took a chair nap.
cleaned out deer stand and braced it up. had settled a bit over the years.
started making a book about myself on Plucky Books...
then to West Des Moines to Spirit Halloween and lunch at Texas Road House, then a quick trip to Indianola Hy-Vee where I found the Scooby Doo cookies....and when we got home, Kevin rented The End of Oak Street with my Prime credits....(oh. and he bought the tv of his dreams at Best Buy, which will be delivered and set up on October 27, the good Lord willing and the river don't rise.)
finished putting lights on the windmill...put away some things...started putting mulch in new flowerbed, Kevin came home and finished it. watched 2 Bigfoot movies. started a new ghost book.
a googly eye and Halloween sticker trinket box....a goth knock off Cabbage Patch doll....a ghost sign...a sign for Hollis the Scarecrow (who finally has a name after all these years: I watched a thing on YouTube that freaked me royally out, I never read the "this is a fictional story" disclaimer at the beginning, and I am SO gullible)...this years Thrifted Halloween Artwork: 2 painted on glass ghosts, Halloween stickers, googly eyes...Kevin mowed yard that I really didn't think needed mowed, so I weed eated, which I didn't do last time he mowed, and the yard DID need mowed and weed-eated....and finished the Haunted Life book I started the other day. and found time in ALL this to watch a couple of Bigfoot movies. look at me multitask. I. am. a. Domestic. Goddess.
ordered 2 new white 11x14 frames....one for new baby. one for Cora's that broke. wasn't paying attention, after I'd clicked order I realized I'd used Katie's gift card balance. (eye roll).
