tuesday

I was one of 2 leaders who went to the Girl Scout Leader meeting tonite...had to go get gas anyway. Taking my half day tomorrow, getting my fall highlights done, then going to the home academic meet to watch my son!
having lasagna for supper...the best kind...Stouffer's. we tried all our experiments for the Brownie party. they all worked but 1. Kate was looking over her seed beads on the LR floor, I kicked the box, I swept them into a pile, but have yet to pick the teeny tiny beads out of the dust bunnies. the days get away from me. Kevin has a horrible cold, I am getting another one.
it's Red Ribbon Week at school, Kate is trying to put together a cowgirl outfit.

everybody's workin' for the weekend

Friday the kids didn't have school. Kevin took them to the chiropractor.
It's my weekend to work...
got the lights put up in the garage & started decorating our pumpkins...so far have a witch & a cat. Was going to have a pirate, but can't find the pirate scarf, so will probably use KJ's knit Jamacian hat with dreadlocks instead.
Katie went to a friends house & then had a friend over.
KJ wrote a report on Caeser Augustus for World History.
I made homemade chicken pot pie for supper last night.

the game plan

last nite KJ drove us to Trenton to eat supper @ Washington Street Food & Drink, then we went to see The Game Plan.
Today it is raining...making breakfast, then plan on doing some shopping in Princeton for an old sheet to make a ghost or 2 (Mom's store), birthday presents for Miss Cuddles, & shop at SJ's Warehouse since we haven't been there in awhile.
Kate has homework to start on, then will probably decorate in the garage. I got on-line & found an incredible Werewolf Costume for the Werewolf Woods. All our old scarecrows are looking a bit rough, the poor devil guys rubber mask is all ripped & broken...we bought it when KJ was a little fart.
My part of the school Fall Festival is going well...need to round up some parent volunteers. Trying to convince Kevin that it would be fun way to spend an afternoon...

I'm up early

to go load feeder pigs. This is the life!
I also emailed the art teacher asking her to do the preschool-sixth grade Halloween coloring contest for the Fall Festival again, & have to do a prize order for the festival to turn in from Oriental Trading Company. will try to do that tonight. I'll write myself a note....
