New Fall Happenings

Fall has begun in out house. We have so many new activities going in this year and you just know that summer is over. I am liking this time of year more and more all the time, but I have never been sooo busy.

Last week marked the beginning if the dance year. Both kids are dancing this year. Boys dance free at the dance studio we go to and Cameron wanted to dance, so why not. 

This week the fair is in town so we decided to go Saturday afternoon. The kids had a blast and we even got Marty to ride a couple rides this year!

They wanted to get their faces painted and we let them choose. Mackenzie loved hers. Cameron chose a gargoyle and I think he was very unsure when he saw his face. By the end of the day, he loved his face paint!

Monday was the first day of school for Mackenzie. She goes to preschool Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for half day. She gets to eat lunch at school Mondays and Wednesdays. And of course she loves it!

We didn't plan on Cameron going to school but we have been given to opportunity for him to attend the church preschool tuition free! So he goes Tuesdays and Thursday 8:30-11:30. Today was his first day and he also loves it! His teacher said you can't even tell he's the new kid, it's like he's been there the whole time!

I also started new classes last week. A full load of quite boring classes. But I need them so...

On my way to pick up the kids after school last night I hit a mattress and box spring on the highway. I got stuck :( amazingly enough though, no damage to my car or injuries!!! God was watching for sure. And my amazing husband came to help me get unstuck. No tow truck needed! But my adrenaline was pumping like crazy. By the time I was half way to the babysitters house I was ready to just crawl in bed. I'm still exhausted today.

I had to take pics just in case for the insurance company, so here it is. My back tired were completely off the road, that mattress was so wedged in there.

I can't wait for tomorrow. Marty has the whole Friday and weekend off!! After Mackenzie gets out of school, they're spending the weekend with Grandma and Marty and I are going to a truck show in St. Ignace. It has been years since we've gone out of town together when he wasn't working, just the 2 of us. It's going to be a huge difference but I think it's much needed. Can't wait!
