Its beginning to look a lot like...

I bet you thought I was going to say Christmas. You are wrong. But it is starting to look like fall. It has even been crisp here in the mornings the past couple of days. I am so looking forward to fall-I love it. My favorite favorite season of all. School supplies, apple cider, pumpkins, changing leaves, back to school, back to routine, gearing up for holidays, craft shows in church gyms (whoever knew that I would I would develop a love for craft shows??), LOVE IT!! Can't wait. I know that I have another month or so of summer weather but just so you know, I am ready for fall.

NeNe has left the building

I am so sad...my sister is heading home to DC. I am not the only one who is sad. Jayden was devestated "I want to go to NeNe's house. I want to sleep in my bed at her house. I want my NeNe." I am so lucky to have such a great big sis. Now I am just trying to figure out a way to get them to move to Missouri.

This has NOT been a fun summer

But it is a summer to remember. I am going to recap the fun summer of adventure for everyone who reads this blog. We will go all the way back to May. I had a root canal, which actually went ok but then I caught a cold a couple days later, right when we were flying out to DC to visit Jen and Paul. I got Jen sick-way to go!
So, we had a couple of good weeks that were filled with painting the house and getting ready for the house remodel. Took the boys to Jeff City while Josh and his Dad demoed the house. Came home to a mess and no counter tops in my kitchen because the installers cracked the countertops when they were installing. Two weeks later I had my wisdom teeth removed. I really thought that 3 days to recover would be more than enough. But it was not. I got an infected dry socket and Jacob spiked a fever of 105. Turned out to be double ear infection and throat infection. Then my class reunion. Alot of fun but Jayden was sick the whole weekend and I couldn't be with him. He recovered and then Jacob got the germs, Then I got the germs and now Aunt NeNe is here and she has the germs. I just took Jacob to the Dr and the ear infections have camped out again. The Dr. mentioned putting tubes in. NO!!!!! It has been quite a summer and I think I am ready for fall! I am definately ready to have my house in order and healthy family!

mourning my camera

I really miss my camera...
Back in April, the shutter button popped off, literally while I was getting out the car at chuckecheese for puddinfoots birthday party. So, I called a local camera repair shop and they told me to call sony. (Apparently they had been seeing this problem a lot with this camera. called sony "you can send it in and we will fix it. It is $250 but we will clean it. And it will take 6-8 weeks." WHAT!!!! I have kids. They change daily and I don't have time to wait 6-8 weeks. And we were leaving on vaca in a week. So I went to Walmart and bought a cheapie for $200. I know that isn't really cheap but it was cheaper than fixing the other, which was 3 years old.
So, now, I miss my old camera. It took amazing pictures. I am sure that my new camera is good but just not AS good. I am skipping church today because once again I have been remided that I am not superwoman or supermom and I have a fever and odd snot things happening. Jacob is finally better but I digresss. I am supposed to be talking about the void in my life that my camera has left. This morning I got online and looked at potential replacements. I was thinking as a Christmas gift and I could start saving money towards this purchase. I think I am going to have to accept my cute little pink camera because $1000 just seems like too much! This is the camera that orginally wanted but bought a cheaper one (the one that I am mourning). Maybe someday I will find one heck of a deal! I think I am going to pray about it. I know that it is a selfish request but God can do anything, even if it is to grant this not superwoman a selfish wish of putting a camera on sale somewhere...
