Happy Fall to you....

No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace

As I have seen in one autumnal face;

Gas Prices

Last night, we were driving home from the Chiropractors, and saw this sign for gas ... we were so shocked we took this picture...

Cash price or not... WOW

Sarah loses her first tooth

Today, when Sarah got home from school she had her tooth with her... but not in her mouth... check out her cheeky grin... lol

Sarah joins Girl Scouts

this has been a busy week indeed for us... not only has Tom learned to ride his bike, but Sarah joined girl scouts too... she is offically a brownie.....

here she is with the assistant Troop Leader

He did it !!!!

So, this week Tom is going to be selling popcorn for cubscouts, and he has a really really big goal... With his goal being so high, Tom had a good friend of ours tell us that if he learned to ride his bike, he would buy TWO of the biggest popcorns tins we have.... Look what Tom can do now...

Remodeling

Look at the transition of our front door, what a long way we have come... I love our new front door... it took ALOT of work, and we still are not 100% done, but we are getting there, just a little more trip and we will have it. What a difference.

School Pictures

Alysha's school pictures came in, and they sent me a wonderful CD with her pictures on it... I am sure it wont be long before this is how we get our pictures... so here you go...


Alysha's 8th grade fall picture, she is growing up too fast...










Tom & Sarah's School pictures were yesterday, here is their outfits of choice...










I told Sarah to smile pretty for the camera, and she struck this pose. She was pretty excited, I let her wear my favorite necklace to school, and she got to wear dangly earings, which is why she opted for an up doo...










And here is Tom sportin his cub scout sign , he is currently trying to grow out his hair for the new shaggy look... LOL.. we shall see how that goes, now he actually has to brush it in the morning...

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend, me and the girls stayed home while Joe & Tom went on a guys weekend. to surprise Joe, Me and ALysha decided (well more me, but she helped A LOT) to paint the Family Room (which is now the dining room) and the kitchen

We had planned to do the dining room (which is now the den) as well, but ran out of steam while doing the kitchen... LOL... here are our before and after pictures....
